I miss the E! show. Even if it was blurred and bleeped to the point of insanity, it was entertainment plutonium.
I am reminded of the Channel 9 show. I never laughed harder at Howard than when Richard Simmons brought in two rather large ladies who were in his weight loss program and Howard or Gary dangled chickens over their heads from poles. So cruel. So funny.I miss the E! show. Even if it was blurred and bleeped to the point of insanity, it was entertainment plutonium.
Opie's an asshole. It's obvious to me that he needs material to fill airtime - I mean, look at how pathetic the show is - so he perpetuates this "rivalry". As I've said before, Opie is not Stern's rival. Howard doesn't give a shit about Opie, or his show, or his fan base. And the studio break-in seems suspiciously contrived. A cleaning woman just happens to be right there, and she just lets him in. Right. And really, nothing happened. They didn't get anywhere, but Opie will be talking about it for days. "Look at what we did! We're so subversive, people are gonna be fired". Really lame.this is interesting:

they don't appear to get in his actual napping office like i thought from the headline.

Only in Opie's mind. It creates the perception that he's on the same level as Stern.The rivalry is still a thing?
My ideal lineup. Take each person at their peak:
Studio: Howard, Manson, Ned, Fred, Artie, Billy West.
Back office: Booey, Richard, Sal, 25 Cent and I can't think of anyone else I'd take. Maybe I'd throw a Stuttering John or...who was the dude that punched the other dude in the hallway...I don't think it was Double A or even Crazy Cabbie, but I'm close. Maybe it was those two.
The trifecta of Ned/Artie/Billy would be a great show on their own.
Never heard of Heat Street before. Based on the article, it looks like a trashy right-wing rag, that will stoop to any level in defending one of their own. But that's also how I'd characterize the entire right-wing; it's what they did to Obama, so why should this be surprising?i don't like this article one bit.

Sometimes you look back on an interview, whether it be Howard or others (even Bill Maher does this), and you realize that the interviewer spoke 85% of the time. I think it has to do with a narcissistic need to supersede the guest. In addition to cutting people off, Howard also has a need to summarize what the guest just said, as in "So in other words, you felt that ...". It's a way for Howard to take ownership for someone else's thoughts. It's exactly the same as Robin saying "I was just about to say...". They are quite a pair.Listened to the Rob Reiner interview. Prime example of Howard cutting off his guest. Why to Reiner? Rob Reiner spoke quickly. He did not go on and on. He is interesting Very frustrating when you looking forward to the end of the answer and it gets cut off.
can't forget robin. even with her near constant news mistakes THSS isn't THSS without her.
