Richard wasn't a virgin when he joined the show. He was just coming off a ten year span of no sexual contact while he was living in a storage unit in Florida and playing drums in death metal bands Death and Iced Earth.

I liked the playing with fire against the FCC and Tom - on satellite you can get away with anything, you lose that pushing the envelope danger that Howard had.
|
That element was great, but it's not the only thing that makes Howard great imho.

My Howard Stern claim to fame was I was responsible for Howard's most vicious Don Imus rant ever - most real angriest longest Howard rant ever period. He was out of his mind, threatening Imus and his family members, claiming he was ready to come out with shit against Imus, his daughter and god knows who else. It went on at least an hour.

How were you responsible for that?

What's the story behind Howard getting harassed on Twitter and SFN? They turned against him? Why?
|
There's a lot of haters who don't like the fact that he changed over the years and the anonymity of the internet allows a lot of trolling to go on.

Wow, both his parents are still alive? Must be a pact with the Devil, they have to be over 90. Not many people have both their parents alive at 60 - Howard's gotta be close to 60.
|
He is very lucky to still have both parents alive at 59 years old.

Crazy Cabbie ever return to the show after prison? Never hated anybody on the show more than that douche. What ever became of Stuttering John? And Grillo?
|
Crazy Cabbie got banned from the show years ago for filming a porn movie with Ron Jeremy in Howard's old studio at K-Rock. Stuttering John was famously poached by Jay Leno years ago to be an announcer and later writer on his late night tv talk show, where he still works. Grillo nearly became an electrician but ended up tending bar and trying to be an actor which never really worked out.

And most importantly, is Robin back in studio and how is she doing with her cancer?
|
Robin does the show from home via ISDN still. They never discussed the nature of her illness, although it was heavily speculated she had cancer or another serious disease.

Howard was making big money even when Jackie pulled his final holdout - Howard should have interceded and gave Jackie what he wanted out of his own pocket if need be.
|
Well, that's up to Howard isn't it? Jackie needed Howard, not the other way around and Jackie didn't appreciate what he had at the Stern show. Besides, Artie wouldn't have worked there for a long while if Howard had continued to put up with Jackie's endless contract re-negotiations.
