    I love the guy. I listen to him every morning, and find him highly entertaining. He is the sole reason why I will get Sirius.

    You don't like Artie? I find him to be a nice addition to the show. Not quite as good as Jackie, but still very good.

    Not a fan, even though I do find myself watching his show on E every once and a while. I must like the blurred babes?

    Is his show going to be the same length as it is now? If so he'll need an extra hour's worth of material each day as lack of advertisements and promotions will make for more time to be used.

    I think Stern's show is pretty stale right now, but why would he release new hip ideas at the end of his current contract to aid Viacom?

    I think Howard will wind up owning quite a bit of the stock, as result of their inability to pay him. The question will be, is the stock worth anything if Howard wants to retire?

    Jackie the jokeman was my neighbor in Bayville, NY many moons ago (for just a short period). Before that, I was his paperboy for a few years.

    I've seen his act, which is hillarious.

    Yes, I think the show has definately gone south in the past few years. It seems that after Howards divorce, he just went downhill.

    Have you spoken to him? If yes, is he a nice guy? Is he funny just in normal conversation, or does he have to turn it on to be funny?

    Didn't really speak to him much. As his paperboy, he was never around when I was supposed to collect payment. As a result, I would see him just occasionally, and then he would owe me like $30 (this was over 20 years ago). He had this crummy stationwagon with tons of the Dirty dial a joke (922-wine) stickers all over it (these were the days before howard stern). The times I met him, he seemed nice enough, and a natural funny guy.

    When he moved next door to us, we actually had sold our house, and were in the process of moving out in the next few weeks, so he was only my neighbor for about 2 weeks. My little brother spent alot of time in the old neighborhood afterwards and did get to meet him/know him. My brother said that after he moved in, he had a 308 (possibly 328?). By then, I was in college, and didn't really go back to the old neighborhood.

    I'll miss Howard when he's on Sirius. I don't intend on getting it as I'm not in my car a lot and couldn't hear it in the Lotus anyway. He can be repetative at times but for all the years he's had a show, he keeps it pretty fresh and innovative.

    He's an arrogant, pompous ass - I'd love to hear his show the day one of his side kicks has enough and belts him - other than that he can be entertaining sometimes -better than the giggle girls Bob and Tom

    Like him or hate him, you've got to respect a guy who has as immense a following as he does. I think I recall hearing that it numbers more than 10 million listeners every day.

    Stern is a jerk, not because he's vulgar or immoral, but because he makes a living by belittling his audience. The guy is very smart, and knows that he can prosper by exposing the inadequacies of people less intelligent than he is.

    I don't necessarily agree with that theory.

    I've been listening to O&A on XM for about a year now, and while you take everything they say with a grain of salt given the rivalry and all, they say that he is the world's biggest whiner off the air. If you're going to rag on somebody, but then run to the boss when they return the favor, I can't respect that.

    He is ok at first, but after you listen to him for a while it all sounds the same.

    I completely agree. It drives me crazy, he also has no clue about cars. He thinks people who own more than one car are crazy. The show can be funny at times but he has some very different view's.

    BORING. Fortunately for him, there are plenty of people out there who's lives are dull enough that they find his crap entertaining.
