''Ladies and Gentlemen I think you all know me. This is Tom Chiusano and I unfortunately have to read you the following announcement. Due to the recent actions by the United States Government and the Federal Communications Commission, the Howard Stern Show is no longer on our air. Neither Infinity Broadcasting or our parent company is willing to continue to put our licenses or our stock holders trust in jeopardy. Viacom can no longer bear the weight of the government pressure and its effects on our corporation. Please continue to listen to the station and other affiliates as we appreciate your loyalty and understand your needs. While we're sorry to end the Howard Stern Show, we promise quality programming in the future. Thank you.''

Chris Rock Comes In. 4/8/97. 7:50am
Comedian Chris Rock came in for a quick visit today. He was plugging a couple of things that he's doing. He's doing an HBO show and an album which comes out today in record stores. His visit was only about 10 or 15 minutes long because he had other places to be.


This is the day after they came back from vacation and Baba Booey was 90 minutes late to work!


But bigger news...today is the 15th anniversary of Raven Alexis.

June 17th, 1994.

Contrary to popular belief, it was NOT Captain Janks.

And yes, as soon as the caller said: "Uhh, yes, how are you", Ben Stern knew it was a phony caller.

Gary mentioned he was trying to buy a "Quick Draw McGraw and a Baba Booey".

Steve The Engineer (Wood Yi) Says Goodbye. 12/14/05. 6:35am
Howard came back from break and listened to a William Hung promo where he talks about the fun he had being on the show. He said he was having some kind of stomach problem and was going nuts because of it. Robin thinks that he's internalized everything that's going on with the show right now. She said she's been having problems herself because of what's going on. Howard said he thinks he's got some gas or something lodged in his stomach.
Howard said that their Engineer Steve was going to come in and say goodbye to them. Steve is the guy who sounds kind of like Woody Allen and has played the part of Wood Yi for many years. Steve hates being on the air but did come in to talk about working with them for years. He told Howard that Billy West was the one who actually picked up on his voice and had him play the part of Wood Yi. Howard wanted to take credit for that but Steve was giving that to Billy West.

Howard thanked Steve for the many great bits that he's done for them. He played a clip of the song ''Sushi Smell'' to the tune of Jingle Bells which Steve performed as Wood Yi. Howard also remembered a prank call that Steve made to a transmission shop so he played that for everyone. In the call Steve was asking the transmission shop guy a bunch of gay questions which pissed off the shop owner. Howard said that was a classic bit from Steve and there were many others.

Howard said he once had an Asian woman sing Happy Birthday to Steve as Wood Yi. He played that and talked about the way Steve would play the part of Wood Yi whenever they'd have an Asian guest on the show and he would ask them many inappropriate questions. He didn't have any examples of that to play though.

Howard thanked Steve for working with them and Steve told Howard it's been a great 20 years working with him. He also said that he would like to work with Howard again at the new place but Howard doesn't think Infinity will let that happen. Robin said they should let Steve do some voice work over there because it would be on his own time.

Steve wished Howard a lot of success, health and happiness. Howard said that Steve is one of the stars of the upcoming ''Supertwink'' movie and plays the part of Lord Rectum. Steve said that it was a surprising role for him and he didn't expect it to be the type of film it turned out to be. The guys spent a few minutes talking about the part he plays and how he does have a couple of lines in the movie. Steve said that this was his first time acting on camera so he was a little nervous.

Howard asked Artie where his scene was in the Supertwink movie. Artie told Howard he comes in about halfway in and he plays the part of a plumber who has to remove a gerbil from Elephant Boy's ass. Howard said that maybe Steve couple appear at Lord Rectum again in future movies. He shouldn't have any trouble with the company letting him do that.

Howard said that he was watching his Howard Stern On Demand show last night and actually pleasured himself to the Fantastic Four Penthouse Pets show that they have up there. He said it was kind of tough to do because he kept seeing himself on screen in between the hot, naked chicks. The Supertwink movie will be airing on Howard Stern On Demand starting January 1st.

Howard spent a little more time talking to Steve about the work he's done on the show. Artie also said that Steve is one of his favorite characters on the show when he does his Wood Yi character. Steve said he never thought he would be that much a part of the show. He also said that when people ask him what Howard is like, he tells them that he likes Howard, he's very nice to him and that he's a mench. Howard said that he would say the same thing about Steve and thanked him again for working with them. He let Steve go and said that he really loves that guy.

Howard doesn't know why the guys didn't give him some audio of Wood Yi talking to some Asian women. Richard said they did have a clip on the CD Howard had in the player. It was a produced clip where they say goodbye to Wood Yi by playing some of his classic lines that he said to the Asian women. Robin said that makes her sad. Howard had to go to
break after that.

The Revolution Has Begun... 01/09/06. 6:00am
Starting on Friday, January 6, right after Howard 100 News, SIRIUS played a creepy heart beat sound on Howard 100. As the weekend went by the heart beat got faster and faster. Sometimes you would hear some old audio of interviews Howard did on TV faintly in the background as the heart beat.
At 6:00am the heart beat stopped and Fred started to play a couple of sound effects as a farting song parody of the theme from ''2001 A Space Odyssey'' came in. It was full of farts... Something that they couldn't play in the final days of Howard's terrestrial radio show.

Then Howard's old theme song came on and Howard Stern started his official broadcast. He was introduced by George Takei (of Star Trek) who said he was their official announcer for the show. Takei introduced each of the crew, Benjy Bronk, Gary Dell'Abate, Richard Christy, Sal ''the Stockbroker'' Governale, Fred Norris, Robin Quivers and Artie Lange... and then Howard Stern.

Howard said they were riddled with problems this morning. His headphones were squealing, his microphone didn't sound right... and he was ready to go home. He thanked George Takei for his announcing and said that's one of the new things they'll have on the show.

Howard welcomed everyone to non-terrestrial radio and said that he'll be commercial free on this first day but they may have to take a break to fix some of their technical problems. Howard said hello to everyone who came in this morning and then talked about how he had a ton of people wishing him luck with the show today... and he's been in the business for 25 years. He won't have a problem doing the show.

Artie complained that there was no deli in the area that was open so he had to go to his old deli to get his breakfast. Howard said that George Takei will be there all week with them and will be helping out with the press conference stuff they'll be doing this week. Howard said he won't be talking to the press directly, George will do that.

Howard said that he trusts George to do his thing live on the show, unlike Stuttering John on the Tonight Show who has to pre-record his stuff. Howard was going to have George do some announcing and then they were going to take a break so they could fix some of their technical glitches. George Takei did a little more announcing and mentioned some of the stuff they had coming up later in the show. They have a bunch of stuff to get to later in the morning including Howard's discussion about whether or not he got married.

MarksFriggin zoned out during the Marcia Clark interview because he "had enough OJ Simpson crap to last a lifetime".




Gary said that Cabbie is at a medium security mental facility, he believes that he was tortured, drugged and raped by the federal government. He also thinks that people were putting PCP in his food and things like that. Howard said he also heard that Cabbie has a new name because he believes that Lee and Cabbie were killed in prison. Robin said it sounds like he's not on his medication anymore.
