Sal Governale’s First Stern Show Studio Appearance in 1996

[@hawaiidispenser]

Sal was so comfortable on the air from day one.

[@philou425]

Lol he was perfect, reserved and charming

[@NeonKC]

at 26 as well. Actually pretty impressive

[@missdee5327]

So true. I always loved him on the air. Funny, candid, good storyteller. In my opinion he could handle the Jackie/Artie chair.

[@hoodiestimbs2783]

It’s crazy. He’s chill

[@ronthunders6124]

hawaiidispenser I know huh?

[@anjotre]

The beginning of hell for Gary.

[@psuengineer84]

Lol!!!

[@richardharris6058]

Drew2.0 Thank you Sal for all the great years the show would not be what it was and what it is today without you

[@richardharris6058]

Thank you SAL

[@skywalkply1]

He had already been there for yrs

[@Patriot66699]

Sals the greatest and Richard

[@sesskie]

“This is going to be a new way of life for Sal.” Truer words were never spoken. 😂

[@T-Gunns]

Dran truer words have been spoken but i know what you mean.

[@BratvaTV]

Im convinced that this guy was never really a stock broker and just said he was.

[@chrisbruggers8076]

Being a stock broker in and of itself is nothing special, kind of like being a real estate broker.. it's easy to get the license, it's all what you do with it.. Sal was a stock broker the mid-90s during the most frothy time for the stock market ever, during the dot com boom when any idiot could make money on paper, and then subsequently lose everything

[@connors2388]

Youd be surprised how many dumbass stock brokers there were at that time.

[@philobeddoe5214]

He worked in a boiler room hawking garbage stocks and ripping people off. I love when they say he used to "work on Wall Street" like he is a hedge fund analyst or something.

[@lMrFresno559l]

He was and made Shuttering John a good amount of money back around this time.

[@Ethan.s..]

BodhiZaffa probably at best was a salesman for penny stocks. Working on commission only.

[@MrBossManDaddySir]

I love how Gary is so chill and doesn’t take offense, what a guy. Those horse teeth are amazing

[@alistairarchibald1312]

I love Sal so fucking much. Look at him wordlessly mouthing along with all of his calls, you know he listened to them endlessly and this had to be one of the greatest moments of his life being in studio for the first time. You gotta be inspired by his passion for the show and for belittling Gary.

[@Joeythajanitor]

Sal looked like he felt right at home. That’s crazy.

[@ReservoirTip]

"He's got nice teeth." The first and last time Howard said anything positive about Sal.

[@eyerollers]

Howard: "You're saying his teeth are as bad as yours?" Gary: "yeah." Howard: "No way! His teeth are inside his mouth."

[@loveforthe90s]

Thank god for Sal Changed the stern show forever, for the better

[@bloodtimemaximusfullthrott226]

loveforthe90s really?

[@LordFleshy]

Sal has given some great moments for the show.

[@dwayneturner9395]

Beetlejuice hanzi is stupid

[@jickniblet3723]

You just like seeing him naked.

[@AlanSmithee5150]

@@bloodtimemaximusfullthrott226 You don't like Sal....you must a jerk. Who do you like on the show moron?

[@iggy4774]

You can tell Stern really likes Sal's work in this clip, he proved to be a good hire.

[@disgustika]

6:03 Howard says in reference to pranking "This is going to be a way of life for Sal". He couldn't be more right! LOL

[@josesalazar7557]

with a moustache youre me... u dont have a moustache gary hahaha

[@joaoalegria7578]

good way to prove you're not a jackass, by telling a joke that makes 0 sense lol

[@nicktumia5078]

Lolll

[@MERCDOUT]

Hahaha I was dying at that part

[@ShelbyCorGT500]

I love this !!! I’ve been listening to Howard for 30 years !!!!! I Look forward to Howard on Sirius XM 100 daily !!!! Thanks for all the great years !!!! Made sitting in traffic no too bad.

[@theMcWOPPER]

Even on sundays?

[@invaderzim133]

Sal Goobernale - The man the myth the legend

[@cesarjom]

you forgot the last part "… the idiot"

[@markvonschober6872]

Sals come a long way ...... Props for him on his determination to cement himself in the stern universe.

[@black2much]

I remember this from the 90s & they left a good prank call out of this clip. It was a call in which Gary figures out it was a prank early on but Sal convinces him otherwise & manages to still call him a HTJ at the end. Sal calling a zoo & asking about the “Delll’abate Monkey” is my favorite call he ever made but I never could never find it on YT.

[@hhscadets0925]

It's kinda surreal that guy in the suit would one day bring us classics like "Hi this is Sal Governale" and "I want traction!"

[@travisjones4106]

1:12 I just love it when Jackie laughs

[@uggggggghhhhh]

yes! his laughs in the background always makes everything funnier for me

[@kennethsmith6530]

Ah ... the start of the ballbusting! Baby faces! Instant chemistry!

[@whelkshuffler]

He so prevailant

[@whelkshuffler]

and so much hair!

[@josephvonbulow1164]

,😂😂😂😊

[@vg03]

Prevalent.

[@robaxl3088]

You gotta love how the Stern Show loves people pranking them...works both ways and the Stern Show takes it like a champ!

[@josephkelley8641]

Sal carved out a nice little niche for Sal. Knew what he wanted - went for it - much respect (and to Richard as well) .

[@MrRonaldPayne]

Sal was singing along to them like they were his greatest hits

[@johnnyvig14]

Holy shit, look at Sal... he still looks like a human being here.

[@ernestodiaz3984]

Gary is such a nice guy

[@teetertotter5787]

Sal mouthing along to the calls is so bizarre.

[@Mrbrownstone1028]

Teeter Totter yeah that’s weird as hell

[@QajarCoffee]

Yeah, you're right, it is odd.

[@PlutoTheGod]

Teeter Totter what about sal isn’t odd?

[@mscarolynnigro]

He is insane

[@missesrobot8182]

he's channeling. lol.

[@alexcarrilloofficial]

wow so young lol sal's 26 here damn

[@generyan4043]

Alex Carrillo official he looks older than 26

[@bestofyoutubecomedy5666]

Please more clips like this!

[@mil2k11]

Sal was relentless with Gary. "Barbra Booyie", " Bob from Bouie", etc. It amazes me that he's over 50 now. Most of this crew is suspended in my mind at the ages I remember them best even though I listen to them every day still since '86.

[@bonethugsfiend]

This definitely became a way of life for Sal.

[@rolandofgilead43]

i really miss the E! show i saw every episode that was aired and so this was one i prolly did see in repeats but i always did like Sal and damn he looks so young here.

[@kmatt420]

Sal is one of the most if not THE most underrated staffer on the show. He is definitely the saving grace of the shit show going on today...

[@vg03]

Hes barely on...

[@jeffreyduus5440]

If it's such a shit show, why do you still listen? Moron

[@professorpenne9962]

richard and sal made stern actually listenable when it started going down the shitter

[@taraniso]

0:20 - Rupert Pupkin makes it in the door.

[@RADIUMGLASS]

This was Sal's destiny.

[@drevm7991]

RELEASE FULL E! EPISODES PLEASE. I WOULD GLADLY PAY.

[@ropete33]

Wow look at young Sal there lol. And who knew he'd parlay this into a job with the show.

[@superfast30]

I love Sal. Dude is hilarious!

[@JasonFlorida]

I didn't know Sal went that far back but I was entertained by this.

[@lowlowfodolo98]

These hd versions are awesome to see

[@larrymays4244]

Sals teeth were busted lol

[@jorgeb4963]

He would get Gary sooooo mad it was hysterical.. they hired his tormenter! Classic!

[@GrassValleyGreg]

Wow almost 25 years

[@swaterman08]

I am personal friends with the beastie boys, lol

[@bonethugsfiend]

I guess when you're president of their fan club you tend to think things like that.

[@seth2244]

Yessss please more classic clips! Love the history.

[@CarlWinslow346]

Howard knew right away

[@JMG_86]

Even though he was a lil Rusty you could already witness some brilliance in these early prank calls.

[@tonyreyes3780]

And just lake that, a legend is born

[@brianmedeiros417]

Love Sal!

[@lowbudgetcomicsthings7068]

Baby sal looks like a relative of ECW's Joey styles

[@wiseal9063]

when Howard said "it's going to be a way of life for Sal" he had no idea

[@AE-kv4lu]

sal talked just like he still does. insane.

[@connors2388]

Its been over 20 years and Sal still doesnt have any new material about Gary. 🤣🤣🤣 and i still laugh just as hard!

[@ronnjerremy5796]

Sal thought he would be Howard's best friend....lmfao

[@stevebeckerlcsw3409]

Sal’s always been the funniest, most underused guy on the show. Should get airtime every day. Never disappoints. Always hilarious. That guy’s got a 104 IQ? I’d stake big money that’s a mistake-he’s gotta be 106.

[@williamrogers9004]

"Professional Sal" hahahaha

[@bernlin2000]

Haha...dude was a natural within 15 seconds. Wow!

[@Wild1995]

I could never believe Gary kept falling for Sal's stupid calls.

[@rpfcreates4476]

On this day Gary’s professional life was at a noine when he woke up, and after sals bit that went down slowly over the next two decades lol.

[@danb4811]

Just noticed sal mouthing the words along with his prank calls.

[@skywalkply1]

A legend is born!

[@DrunkenSlob]

He looks younger now than when he was 26

[@comegetthathitter6935]

....no.

[@scifiradioguy]

The only greatest moment for Sal Governale on The Howard Stern Show.

[@lkmetal1977]

I love the tradio let’s wheel and deal!

[@jdharmeyer6831]

Been looking for this video for a while, I also want to see sal and richard first day or first week working for Howard.

[@seancallahan603]

Damn, exactly 3 days before I was born. That’s crazy

[@SamanthaRivera123]

This is awesome

[@josefino72]

Thanks for uploading this classic bit......Please, oh, please upload a Jackie bit. The Autograph Bust, the Cardoza Hotel Fiasco, preferably, or any bit goofing on Jackie.

[@maxrubio781]

in the thumbnail sal looks like a simpsons character.

[@tufaznail]

So young

[@michaelcapo5512]

That was epic. LEGEND

[@richy12377]

Haha Sal mouthing all the calls

[@dg8676]

Howard was all happy

[@robkarp9835]

"HTJ, that's who!!"

[@sfij98]

Wow 26 years old? So long ago. Sal was funny from the get-go.

[@TheVirtualsherpa]

Sal might have the best Glow-up of anyone on the staff.

[@pagnedaman3777]

Man this is excellent. And sal was 26!

[@vazurro_world]

Holy crap Sal looks so clean cut here.

[@TheBishop12]

“Those are the nicest teeth I’ve come across” Legendary

[@aintpunk]

This is the real "A Star Is Born" . Sal is the best comedian on the show.

[@daviddedominici1705]

Richard and him are by far the most talented people on the show, beside Howard - and Artie when he was still there.

[@highnumber9494]

I remember when I lived in NYC, most of the stockbrokers were basically working class types from places like Queens. I had always assumed Wall Street workers had a certain pedigree but definitely not the case stockbrokers.

[@harrisry21]

5:18 "Metallicar"

[@geeked-outturtlesfan4288]

Sal started busting Gary's chops from day one. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Fuck that's hilarious

[@ethanj1598]

Sal had luscious hair 😍

[@The_A_Cast]

Classic radio at its BEST! This is what radio needs to continue to be!

[@user-ck4yt3kv3p]

Gary with the 2019 softboi look

[@johnpal5112]

Hi, this is sal governale!!!

[@loveforthe90s]

HTJ : 143

[@TexasHeatAudit]

What a tasty treat

[@Hazzard0]

"I'm personal friends with the Beastie Boys"

[@zeno921]

You can see Sal mouthing his parts of the call while they play it.

[@johnnorth6004]

So weird

[@sonsofjesse]

Sal Rules.

[@generyan4043]

Sal looks younger now than then!

[@vg03]

It's so creepy watching sal mouthing the words to every phone call. You can tell he just listened to these calls hundreds of times over and over and over again just to be able to do that... so much cringe in one video

[@foolyfunktional7766]

He recorded them how could it be so hard to remember

[@robbiewhite323]

Sal is about to be 50... unbelievable

[@Drew-jy7dl]

Sir, I politely asked Gary, Sir.

[@SweetCincy1]

And so it begins....Howard had no idea what a frickin' NUTJOB Sal was......

[@edwardvoluntad138]

The begining of an era!

[@RealMrQuintis]

more of these please.

[@cjr1881]

A young Sal
