Wow.

My favorite is when they moved John to an afternoon DJ spot and he was terrible at that too. Howard brought him in to “fire” him and John just keeps repeating “Yuh can’t foir me! I wuz tole oid neva be foired!

I would love it if everyone from previous shows were to come on the air and then posted on youtube. I thank you Howard for the many years of comedy and interviews so far. I grew up in NYC and listened to your show on my walkman on the way to school. And listened to the show on the radio at work with my dad or in his van. 92.3 Krock!! Totally awesome!
It's a shame Howard has abandoned his decades of old fans like you. Howard will never have any former staff on ever. He likes to pretend those years didn't happen. Kinda sad.
At Fudgicle - his show started day one and since day one it has evolved and I'm pretty sure one day he'll realize that. That every joke mattered and every reaction in that studio mattered. I think every one of those people for entertaining me. Stuttering John, Artie, and even Jackie. These people are comedic legends. Some day, he will have them back on only because -itll sell and it will settle any grievances.
@@andrewgorsuch7959he’s too shallow. Money, fame and his elite peers opinions are all that matters. There is enough racist, homophobic, disability persons and 20 more things to take him down. Somehow, he gets a pass. I enjoyed his show in the 90’s but I’d never watch one recent show. I know it doesn’t matter in the long run, but he seems to be missing a soul
@@genocash8436 Get a grip on yourself Howard CAN'T do the show he used to do in 2023 because he'd be excoriated by the public and media on a daily basis and probably get fired from Sirius and he wouldn't want to anyway .

Right after John finds out it's a prank, he stands there staring at the camera. In that moment, he's trying to remember everything he said while he thought he was fired. He's trying to remember if he said anything that would piss off Howard, since he knows he's gonna see the tape. John deserves every bad thing that happens to him.
I'm from Germany/Europe and never listen to the show but: Didn't they stay in touch with the audience back then? Going through Howard Stern clips here on UA-cam, it seems like he kept a lot of guys around that the people didn't even like.
@@yannick245 at the time people thought John was just a funny, mostly well-meaning, idiot. It turns out he was not funny at all (all of his bits, which consisted of asking rude questions to celebrities, were written by someone else), was completely incompetent at everything including screening phone calls, and was a conniving, lying, stealing lunatic. As for keeping "hated" people around, Howie wanted controversy and arguments and if everyone was a professional that played nice he couldn't have those or would have to really, really blatantly stage them like other radio programs were doing at the time. So blatantly they wouldn't be funny.
“On dangerous ground” and “skating on thin ice” - are metaphors that your behavior or words are about to get you into trouble. “Treading water” is a metaphor that means that you are at a standstill, not moving forward, not moving backward - just maintaining the status quo. “Treading on dangerous water” is what is known as a mixed metaphor - something Yogi Berra was famous for.
John always fucks up basic words and phrases like this. To this day he confuses "impromptu" with "informal". Robin called him out on it years ago but he still does it. Cuz he's dumb.
And then I came in around 5 30 and the busboys were putting the plates on the table and it was fascinating but it wasn't for me. I had to move on. Fred is classic.
To be fair, if they would have fired John for real, it would have been %110 justified. John's a screwup. Only reason Howard kept him around is because one of Howard's few natural talents is he knows how to make the most out of the most untalented people (John). Howard could always count on John to screw up (to be used as a bit on air), and Howard could count on John for the inside gossip, and $hit stirring...
@@Flynnstir Nah, he looks way worse now. He’s all red faced and looks like he can barely open his eyes he’s so swollen looking. He looks like a heart attack waiting to happen.
Also the reason Gary said Howard is firing you because if he said I'm firing you John would have went to Howard and begged him for his job backs and he carried this fire to me
Gary’s big moment. And he gets clowned the whole time. And then it doesn’t even go over well. And finally, the big reveal…”2 words, Gary puppet”. Those big fuckin chompers.
man looking back on this they really were all nerds. but we always looked up so high to them. i dont even know how to explain it, its nerds being interesting to the common workers. how the heck that ever worked out who the hell knows. but they always made it interesting
out of everybody on the stern show, Robin was always the most annoying in stern show imagine being paid alot just to agree with whatever Howard says, best job ever I guess lmao
@@kiowahorse2561 You do realize that 90% of “Howard’s jokes” are written by Benji and Fred, right? Robin doesn’t do shit and never has done shit for the show. She doesn’t write jokes, she’s never written or produced a bit, etc. All she has done for years is read news articles written by other people, agreed with everything Howard says, talks about shit she knows nothing about, spreads false information, and cackles like a fucking witch. So how exactly would the show “not be near as good if she wasn’t on it” exactly?🤔
Even that dude trying to repeat Gary fuck up quoting him. “I’m walking on thin ice and it’s tipped off” with his look around for approval after was way more cringe 😂
I know this is long time ago Gary should have said OK my friend I'm sorry it's going backup clean out your desk and let him clean out his desk then break the news to him after he cleaned out his desk and everything was in a Box ready to leave that had been perfect

28 years ago this show was getting in their prime. What a good bit
What's funny is that the gag is on John, but half of the video still ends up goofing on Gary

Fred is on fire this episode.
Yup. That's because Fred despised John. Anytime John's getting tortured, Fred's in heaven. And so is everyone else.
With all of Fred's quirks...he is above all, hilarious. When he's angry, he's even funnier, e.g. the post-Howard divorce roast.
Howard's cut off sleeves showing those boney arms
Ralph told him he looked hot in it n made him wear it
I no him and ralph have done zomething gay for sure ....
You have a weird gay obsession with him don’t you? What a homosexual thing to focus on.
