It's fascinating to watch the regression of John's intellect through the years, from his appearances on the Stern Show, to his bits on Leno, to his early podcasting "career" trying to suck up to Cumia, to his current public humiliation with the WATP/Dabbleverse shit. You can actually see his IQ go from mid 90s to low 80s/high 70s, it's wild. Alcohol really does damage your brain, kids.

If he was good he should've been able to make a successful podcast and KZbin channel just off interesting stories he should have. But he's not a great story teller. My point was that it's sad he even had to leave for the tonight show gig, but these guys were huge celebs for over a decade on THSS and weren't making the kind of money that should go along with that celebrity. If Howard couldn't turn it into some kind of bit for the show then these guys couldn't even take outside ventures that would at least pay them for the amount of celebrity they had. They would have to go out on the road for appearances to make decent money and even that they'd get goofed on for. Wasn't until John had Artie and KC that he could string good appearances together. But eventually Artie didn't need to be doing that with John..so I see why John left. He was just never able to amount to anything else in LA once Leno retired.

@Coon Hunter#1 It's mind boggling when you think about it. Out of all the secondary staffers from the show John made the most $$$. He had his stocks and real estate ventures from his time on the show, he did appearances and made a nice chunk during his 20s and 30s, he claimed he made a million before he was 30 which I find plausible. He then had like a 2.5 million dollar contract with Jay Leno over a 5 year period. For John to have to beg for money after all he had is mind boggling, how did he lose all of that?

[@PJxBuchwild]

@Coon Hunter#1 He's never going to make that much money ever again. John had an opportunity where lightning struck twice and he was making a lot of bank after leaving the show. I'd be curious to know how much he has left, I know he must've blown a ton in California and lost another fortune in the divorce. He might only have a net worth of a couple hundred thousand which given his previous earnings is insanely low.

[@PJxBuchwild]

@Coon Hunter#1 The 2 biggest factors are how much he lost in the divorce and with child support, and how much he was clearing in California. When he worked for Leno he was living in a mansion so even with that contract he had I can't imagine he was able to bank much extra.

This is a perfect example of why John didn’t become successful after Howard. Yeah Howard is roasting him but John also has one of the most popular radio show DJs mentioning his show (basically giving it free promo) and instead of going with it, he takes it to heart. He was terribly insecure, didn’t know his limitations and didn’t know how to leverage his image. Any image or fame can be leveraged in entertainment, even being the loser.

[@nathandiaz3446]

John made millions, he is just a loser that got lucky though

[@ronniechilds2002]

Of course he didn't become successful after Howard. He just doesn't have any talent or obvious ability. He got most of his laughs by reading lines that Howard and Fred and them wrote for him.

Howard broke down Johns appearance on Wings so concisely and John still has no understanding of it at all

[@silencemeviolateme6076]

John was the beginning of the end for wings.

[@Buckets50]

@@silencemeviolateme6076 I never saw the show but it’s safe to say that whenever any show starts having “celebrity” guest stars it means the writers are out of ideas and just want to artificially boost ratings

[@silencemeviolateme6076]

@@Buckets50 I think by then Frazier had started, produced by the same people. They put their best writers on it and wings lost their upward thrust. Gilbert had been on a couple times by then. I think the writers/producers were just huge stern fans. Howard talked about them asking him every season to be on. I believe him. Maybe not the final reason but seems interesting they put Frazier on the radio. Bet stern is pissed now that he never did a few episodes.

[@joeschmoe1150]

Dude, what happened to Howard? This was great! John - "If I can't be creative why do it? What do I get out of it?" Howard - "How about a paycheck, something you've never had before?!".... Holy Shit!!!!

[@pointbreakthor381]

Everyone here is right. John is brutal other than the stuttering bit and Howard NEVER wanted anyone to be successful

[@scottwebbpdx]

Wrong, he put everyone up for a platform to succeed

[@Buckets50]

The reason you believe that is because it’s repeatedly said by all the stern show losers. They don’t understand that they are only successful in the context of sterns show. The stern show was basically just a reality show and all “reality show stars” seem to think they are much more talented than they are

[@joenichols3901]

John had two choices. 1. If he really hated being the underling to Stern, he could go out and try to make his career on his own OR 2. Shut up, be appreciative, take the harsh criticism and take advantage of the opportunities given. Both easier said than done. John could still be on the Stern show today if he'd been smart. Instead he got used by the Tonight Show to make Howard look bad. Kind of a shame. Richard and Sal get boatloads of insults but they're loved by the fans and now riding out into the sunset with yhe show

[@geneinpennsylvania]

I saw StutJohn on a guy named Tommys pod cast And over two interviews in two days John ended up drunk both times Where he couldn’t WALK And had nowhere to sleep Imagine how sad that is What is John trying to drown w alcohol? He never mentions his parents Pray for John’s kids though

[@sirrom5155]

if Stutjo announced a book-signing today it'd be bigger than Private Parts

[@leonavu]

This was a GREAT era of the show. Howard hasn't started his downward spiral of a more "sturctured" show. He looks comfortable and much funnier and quick than he started to become, and the bits were fast and furious with Fred and Jackie. And Robin was hot. I would have loved to have gotten some of that ham on my hands.

[@TheMiseryIndex]

I wish stuttering John every success in his unsuccessful career.

[@wes11bravo]

He's exactly the same now. In the same way that anytime anyone even remotely criticizes Biden, his response is "Kkkkkccahhccc and Donald Trump, this man you worship, is retahhhhded, get the fuck outta heah!" Wow, John - I didn't actually say anything about Trump but my - what insightful political analysis! That was great how you facilitated the discussion, presenting counterpoints to Biden's critics! Haha, what a dipshit.
