How Howard Stern became a new man

Over the past 13 years, Howard Stern helped SiriusXM satellite radio grow from a fledgling experiment into a 33 million-subscriber empire. But Stern, who made a name for himself as a potty-mouthed shock jock, has evolved - as a celebrity interviewer and as a person. He talks with Tracy Smith about his new book of interviews, "Howard Stern Comes Again"; his psychotherapy; a health scare that demonstrated he "wasn't Superman"; and how he and his wife are guardian angels to a thousand rescue cats.

[@DigitalShark99]

Artie was on dope and self-destructed. Period. Jackie went "on strike" at least a few times, where he would refuse to come into work -- in order to get a raise. Howard warned Jackie (in advance) the last time Jackie's contract negotiations started if Jackie went "on strike" again, Howard was not going to "go to bat for him" with management. I miss Jackie, but he was warned in advance. I do not know the entire Billy West story, but I thought he left the show to move to L.A. and voice cartoons (if that is not the whole story, I'm guessing Billy wanted a raise). If you do not like what Howard has turned into lately, that's fine, just don't be "re-writing history."

[@trevormcmanis]

Personally, I miss the K Rock days! I’ve been a Stern fan for a very long time (since 1986). The only reason I got satellite radio was to listen to him when he left terrestrial radio. I have since canceled my Sirius subscription. I know everything doesn’t stay the same, but the show didn’t get better, it got worse unfortunately…. In his older age, he became more of a ringmaster than the focal point of the show allowing his interns to entertain the audience with their ridiculous and immature antics … It just doesn’t work for me. The best part of the show during the K Rock days was his rants, fighting the FCC and screaming at the media on air defending all of the controversy he created. I guess he had to grow up at some point.

Used to love Howard and Robin. Hilarious no holds barred skits. Then he became just another radio show.

[@kevind825]

Bad radio show at that. Maybe too much credit in that statement.

[@mymisty7]

My favorite show on radio! Period!

[@bobwinters6459]

Love the interview and his show, it's the only thing that helps me get thru the week as a over the road truck driver!

[@painful-Jay]

Bob Winters the week? You mean 3 days and endless vacations?

[@painful-Jay]

David Shaughnessy that’s great, but I’m talking about the Howard Stern show. It’s only new m-w and they take weeks of vacation several times per year. So my question to Bob is how does a 3 day per week show (if not on vacation) get you through constant truck driving? I’m sure stern deserves a light schedule, but not when the price continues to increase.

[@lizzichi86]

@@painful-Jay, maybe he listens to the live shows then puts on sternthology on demand. That's what I do in the car.

@@Blackjacksarmory Due to my job I had to stop listening in 2011. Had been listening since 1997 and followed him to Sirus. Seems I havent missed much since he's completly changed.

[@trueknowledgeispower]

...oh,...so you consider Stern making fun of other people with personal issues his 'talent and drive'? That defines alot about you right there.

[@turtleman5111]

Evil Robin I disagree! One MUST have a talent to talk EVERY DAY, for 4 hours, and keep ppl interested. He was the BEST interviewer, until robin ALWAYS cut in, in the middle of the answer! But, as to politics, he should have remained nuetral, like Johny, not supporting either hillbilly, nor trump, because it alienates 1/2 of your fans.

[@TaylorMMontgomery]

I never really have listened to Howard until recently when I saw a clip of him candidly interviewing Andy Cohen, trying to get the truth about the Housewives franchise. I've found myself watching more and more and am just now realizing: he's a fantastic interviewer.

[@nowitsabadtime]

Howard is a bright man. Not everyone knows, but Howard attended Boston University, one of the greatest schools in the country, graduating with Honors. Howard's academic accomplishments and intellect have been his backbone, keeping him upright all these years.

Being upset that Howard isn't the same guy that he was 20 or 30 years ago isn't right. It's just a silly notion. Yeah, Howard and the show have changed over the years, but the show is still great. He is far and away the best interviewer on the planet

[@billmyke746]

Ummmm, No.

I remember my co-worker cassette taping the Stern Show in 1992 for fear that Howard would sign-off or get thrown off the air. Loved this guy since the DC 101 days; what a remarkable talent.

[@dano4572]

great interview!

[@ConsumerTeamPete]

Interesting to see that Howard has morphed into the character he used to parody.

[@stevekalba9951]

Have a lot of respect for the guy---been listening to him since my dad had him on the radio in the 80s when I was a kid. Listened to him religiously at one point every morning during my senior year of high school throughout college and even beyond. Didn't listen as much if at all when he went to Sirius as I never bothered getting satellite. I've read both of his books and watched his movies and all his videos and pay per view specials and get amusement out of listening to his classic interviews and bits on KZbin. I have no ill will against him for changing...he deserves to be where he is and enjoy every minute of it. He went through a lot of turmoil and stress and drama to become the best at what he does. It's a different show nowadays but when you listen to one of his interviews you realize that there is no better interviewer EVER in the history of all media. He has a perfect radio voice and radio face (haha jkjkjk) and runs a show like a pro and is a marketing GENIUS! He has helped a LOT of people laugh and feel better and entertained for decades! God Bless Howard Stern and his entire crew..past and present and all of the lives he's changed.

[@benrichards399]

He became the Donald Sutherland character at the end of invasion of the body snatchers... #sellout

Don't buy Howard's book. He doesn't care about his fans, he's more concerned what Ellen thinks of him. If you must buy his book, buy it used on Amazon. That way Howard gets what he owes and gives his old fans, NOTHING!
