View Poster

  • Born: 12 January 1954
  • Birthplace: Jackson Heights, New York
  • Best Known As: 'Shock jock' host of radio's The Howard Stern Show

Howard Stern's fondness for naughty talk and frank scatology helped his morning radio show become a nationwide hit in the 1990s. Stern got started in radio while at Boston University, worked as a deejay in various cities, and finally settled into a morning talk format in New York City, where his explicit brand of low-brow humor found a wider audience via national syndication. His autobiography Private Parts was published in 1993, followed by the 1995 book Miss America. Stern played himself in a feature film version of Private Parts in 1998. His widespread successes led to his self-proclaimed nickname of "King of All Media." Stern's controversial subject matter also led to multiple run-ins with the Federal Communications Commission, which has fined Stern and his corporate parents on several occasions. In 2004 he announced that he had signed a five-year, $500 million contract to take his radio show to Sirius Satellite Radio, a subscription-only network where he would be unaffected by FCC regulations. His final show on "terrestrial" broadcast radio was 16 December 2005, and his first Sirius show aired on 9 January 2006.

Regulars on Stern's show have included news sidekick Robin Quivers, "Stuttering John" Melendez, producer Gary "Baba Booey" Dell'Abate and Hank Nasiff (known as Hank the Angry Drunken Dwarf); Nasiff died in 2001, and Melendez became Jay Leno's announcer on The Tonight Show in 2004... Stern married the former Alison Berns in 1978; the couple separated in 1999 and divorced in 2001. They have three daughters: Emily (b. 1984), Deborah (b. 1987) and Ashley Jade (b. 1993)... He married model Beth Ostrosky on 3 October 2008.

Biography

Love him or hate him, Howard Stern single-handedly revolutionized the talk radio format in the U.S. Before hitting it big in the '80s and '90s, talk radio was strictly limited to newscasts, but Stern took it a whole step further -- incorporating comedy (often sexually charged), sketches, song parodies, celebrity interviews, and witty observations into his weekday four-hour shows. Born on January 12, 1954, Stern grew up in Long Island, NY, and attended Boston University in the early '70s, where he got his start in radio. After graduating, Stern took several jobs at radio stations across the U.S. during the decade (including Hartford, Detroit, and Washington D.C.). While he was forced to play songs during his shows throughout the early years, he also found time to hone his talents as he focused on his ultimate goal -- a show that focused entirely on talk. It was during this time that Stern met future writer Fred Norris and partner-in-crime/newswoman Robin Quivers. The three formed a union that would turn out to be the winning ingredient for radio success. Although his ratings soared, Stern found it hard to break free of the restrictions laid down by narrow-minded program directors, station managers, and worst of all, the FCC. Stern returned back to his home state of New York in 1982 when he landed an afternoon slot on WNBC. The New York area automatically embraced Stern, who became a regional celebrity -- it was during this time that he also picked up show regulars Gary "Baba Booey" Dell'Abate (producer) and another writer, stand-up comic Jackie "the Jokeman" Martling. Despite enjoying big ratings and the promise of branching out into TV on the horizon, WNBC inexplicably fired Stern in 1985. Stern and his gang signed on soon after with WXRK in New York, and his career really took off when the show was moved to mornings and became nationally syndicated (WNBC would eventually go off the air). Due to the strength of his funny and unpredictable appearances on such television talk shows as Late Night with David Letterman, Stern landed his own Saturday evening TV show in 1990 (on New York's WOR). His fame spread throughout the decade as another show regular, "Stuttering John" Melendez (who specialized in asking abrasive questions to unsuspecting celebrities), joined the crew. Although the WOR TV show lasted only a few years, Stern succeeded in broadening his horizons -- including two autobiographical best-selling books (1993's Private Parts and 1995's Miss America), a motion picture (an adaptation of Private Parts in 1997), as well as two more TV shows -- one nightly show on the E! Entertainment Television network and another on CBS on Saturday nights (the latter of which was dropped by late 2001, however). In 2000, he also added TV show creator/producer to his impressive list of credits for the comedy program Son of the Beach, as well as developing a post-apocalyptic cartoon series called Doomsday. But despite all the success, this period proved to be one of turbulence for Stern as he and longtime wife, Alison Stern, divorced in 1999 and Martling left the show over a contract dispute in early 2001. (He was replaced by comedy actor/writer Artie Lang). But none of these distractions proved detrimental to Stern or his career, as his radio show continues to prosper. ~ Greg Prato, All Music Guide

Biography

Whether he is vulgar and perverse is not up for debate. What will forever be disputed, though, is what Howard Stern will really be remembered as: a morning radio show pioneer or just a depraved DJ.

Howard Allan Stern was born to Ben and Ray Stern on January 12, 1954. He has one sister, Ellen. He grew up in Roosevelt, Long Island, and frequently references his upbringing as a Jewish kid trying to fit in with his fellow students. Stern was introduced to the radio business early on when he went to work with his dad, who owned a recording studio. Stern earned his bachelor's degree in communications from Boston University in 1976. In 1978, he married Alison, whom he'd met in college.

Stern's first morning show job was in Hartford, CT, at WCCC, where he met future collaborator and producer Fred Norris. Stern's next moves were to Detroit, Washington, D.C., and finally New York City, where he worked for WNBC Radio. Along with developing his radio career, Stern was busy discovering his own style of entertaining listeners. His honesty and penchant for sexual content made for an interesting and Federal Communications Commission (FCC) fine-inducing style. His official battles with the FCC started with his first fine on December 16, 1988, totaling 6,000 dollars. Ten fines and 16 years later, his last fine reached 3.5 million dollars.

Stern dubbed himself the "King of All Media" after he successfully ran television shows and wrote a book, Private Parts, in 1997. It was turned into a movie in 1998 under the direction of Betty Thomas. Stern regulars re-created his rise to fame, and future awards stalwart Paul Giamatti starred as WNBC executive Kenny "Pig Vomit" Rushton. Stern also served as executive producer to the short-lived FX comedy Son of the Beach in 2000.

Along with Norris, Stern's on-air entourage included Jackie Martling, John Melendez, lone female Robin Quivers, and a revolving group of characters called The Wack Pack, ranging from late actor Matthew McGrory (aka "Bigfoot") and Hank the Angry Drunken Dwarf (also deceased). In March 2001, Martling left the show after contract talks didn't result in his desired salary; later that year, comedian Artie Lange replaced him. Martling returned to Stern's satellite show to talk about why he left and ended up hosting his own weekly comedy show, Jackie's Joke Hunt. Melendez jumped the Stern ship in 2004 to become the announcer on The Tonight Show.

Proof of Stern's dedication as a broadcaster came on September 11, 2001, when he and his staff stayed on the air throughout the attacks. Friends of the show called in with eyewitness reports of what was going on and Stern stayed on well after his time slot had ended.

Racking up fines, regular guests, and enemies, Stern also built a big enough fan base to make the jump from terrestrial to satellite radio in 2005. His first censorship-free show aired on Sirius channels 100 and 101 on January 9, 2006; his 500-million-dollar contract covered five years.

Stern and wife Alison had three daughters, Emily, Deborah, and Ashley; however, after over 20 years of marrige, they amicably split up in 1999, and divorced two years later. Stern proposed to girlfriend Beth Ostrosky on Valentine's Day 2007 and the two were married in New York City on October 3, 2008. ~ Rachel Sprovtsoff-Mangus, All Movie Guide

Howard Allan Stern (born January 12, 1954) is an American radio and media personality most notable for his radio show which since January 9, 2006, has been broadcasting on Sirius XM, an uncensored satellite radio service. Although described by the media as a "shock jock" for his sometimes controversial commentary and segments, Stern argues it never was his intention to "shock" people, whether discussing world affairs or the staff he works with. Stern is the highest-paid radio personality in the United States,[1] including the most fined,[2] following a long history with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) since 1987.

Stern began his career in the radio industry in February 1975 at his campus station at Boston University, presenting a one-hour comedy program with college friends. Developing his on-air style for four years at Briarcliff Manor, Hartford and Detroit from 1977–1980, Stern paired up with his on-air news anchor Robin Quivers at Washington, D.C. in 1981. By August 1982, after having the top morning show in Washington, Stern arrived at New York City, the country's largest radio market. Despite numerous disputes with management, Stern would have the top afternoon show by mid-1985. After being fired that September he returned to New York airwaves after a two-month absence, broadcasting for over twenty years until leaving for satellite in December 2005, free from content restrictions imposed by the FCC.

Stern describes himself as "The King of All Media" for his successes not only in radio but in print, film and television. His two books, Private Parts (1993) and Miss America (1995), received great media attention and sales, topping The New York Times Best Seller list within weeks of their release. The former was later adapted into a 1997 film of the same name directed by Betty Thomas, which grossed over $40 million in the United States alone. Stern's television endeavours include various late night shows and successful pay-per-view specials, with New Year's Rotten Eve 1994 becoming the highest grossing non-sports pay-per-view ever.[3]

Biography

Childhood and early life

Stern was born into a Jewish American family (his Hebrew name is "Tzvi," pronounced [tsvi]) in the Queens neighborhood of Jackson Heights, New York City, who soon moved to the Long Island town of Roosevelt.[4] His father Ben worked at WHOM, a radio station in Manhattan, which influenced his son's early interest in radio.[5][6] His mother Rae, was a homemaker for most of his childhood.[7][8][9] Stern describes his only sister Ellen, who is four years his senior, as being his "complete opposite" since she is rarely mentioned on his radio show, though he maintains a good relationship as their personalities complement one another.[10] Although both parents are Jewish, Stern's on-air banter is that he is only "half Jewish," with the other half being Italian because "it's very hard to be Jewish in this country ... my half Jewish side has been beaten with chains."[11][12][13] Stern's paternal grandparents, Froim and Anna (née Gallar) Stern and maternal grandparents, Sol and Esther (née Reich) Schiffman, were Austro-Hungarian Jews who immigrated to America at about the same time.[9]

Stern often said that his parents verbally abused him as a child. During an August 1990 broadcast when old family recordings were replayed for the first time, some remarks have become show soundbites, including "I told you not to be stupid, you moron" and "Shut up! Sit down!" from his father at a seven year-old Stern.[14] Stern said his mother ran her house with "the intensity of Hitler"[15] and that his father's "favorite sport was yelling."[16]

Adult life

Stern has long-claimed that he has a small penis, although when measured it was found to be an average six inches in length.[17] This assertion is used to comedic effect in a scene in his 1997 film where he is shown showering with his African-American peers at Roosevelt Junior High School. He has long-asserted that he was one of the few white students in a predominantly African-American school.[18] When Stern's family moved in 1969 to Rockville Centre,[19] he transferred to South Side High School, from which he graduated in 1971.[20] Stern graduated at Boston University in 1976 with a bachelor's degree in Communications, carrying a 3.8 Grade Point Average.[21] It was during this time when Stern worked as a volunteer at the campus radio station WTBU.[22] He now funds a scholarship at the university.[23]

Stern grew to be tall, standing 6 ft 5 in (1.96 m).[24][25] During his college years, Stern became a student of Transcendental Meditation which he practices to this day. He credits the practice with aiding him in quitting smoking and achieving his goals in radio.[26] Stern has interviewed Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the founder of the technique, twice in his career.[27] Stern's mother also learnt the technique, claiming it cured her depression.[28]

Personal life

On June 4, 1978, Stern married college sweetheart Alison Berns at Temple Ohabei Shalom in Brookline, Massachusetts.[29] They have three daughters – Emily Beth (b. May 7, 1983), Debra Jennifer (b. May 9, 1986) and Ashley Jade (b. January 24, 1993).[30][31] A hallmark of Stern's humor was his claiming to be tempted by the strippers, porn stars and lesbians appearing on his show, but always insisted that he had to be faithful to his wife. On October 25, 1999, Stern announced that he and wife Alison decided to separate.[32] They amicably divorced in 2001, ending in a settlement.[33] Stern began a period of single living on New York City's Upper West Side, dating a number of women including Angie Everhart and Robin Givens.[34][35] Despite reportedly spending time with Carmen Electra "five times", the two have denied there was anything more intimate than an outdoor shower in bathing suits.[36]

In late 2000, Stern began dating model Beth Ostrosky, who co-hosted Casino Cinema on Spike TV from 2004 to 2007.[33][37] She had also frequently appeared in the American edition of men's magazine FHM until it ceased publication in 2007.[38] The pair have lived together in Manhattan with their bulldog named Bianca Romijn-Stamos-O'Connell. Stern also owns a weekend house in the Hamptons on Long Island. On February 14, 2007, after a period of seven years, Stern announced that he and Ostrosky became engaged.[33] They later married on October 3, 2008, at the Le Cirque restaurant in New York City.[39]

Hobbies

Stern regularly plays chess on the Internet Chess Club. He has taken on-line lessons from Dan Heisman, a chess master from Philadelphia.[40] He is a fan of comic books and science fiction, with his favorite superhero being Superman. Stern is also a fan of the television show The Munsters, and greatly admires the comedy of The Three Stooges. He is avidly into fitness and runs and lift weights regularly, though he complains that it has no visible effect on his body.

Radio career

Terrestrial radio

Main article: The Howard Stern Show

After graduating from Boston University, Stern worked briefly as a disc jockey at WNTN in Newton, Massachusetts,[41] followed by two years as a jock and program director for WRNW in Briarcliff Manor, New York, playing rock music.[42][43] In late 1979, Stern landed his first morning position in Hartford, Connecticut at WCCC, whose progressive rock format promoted his development as a free form on-air personality.[44] It was at Hartford when Stern met his future show writer and producer Fred Norris, a college student working the overnight shift at the time.[45] By April 1980, Stern moved to FM radio station WWWW in Detroit, Michigan, further developing his show until the station adopted a country music format, much to his dislike. Barely a year in Detroit, Stern then worked mornings at WWDC in Washington, D.C. for a year, quickly becoming the city's top morning show in the quarterly Arbitron radio ratings. It was at Washington when Stern paired with his on-air news anchor Robin Quivers. In mid-1982 he returned home to New York City working afternoons at NBC's flagship AM radio station, WNBC. Working at NBC at that time was David Letterman, who became a fan of Stern's radio show. His guest appearance on Late Night with David Letterman on June 19, 1984, launched Stern into the national spotlight for the first time.

Following an abrupt firing from WNBC in September 1985, Stern quickly returned to FM radio by joining WXRK working afternoons on November 18, 1985. By February 1986, he moved to the morning drive time slot. By 1991, his show was syndicated on WYSP in Philadelphia, WJFK-FM in Washington, D.C. and KLSX in Los Angeles, and then nationwide by Infinity Broadcasting. The program made great sport out of feuding with other cities' top-rated morning personalities, and soon Stern's broadcast was number one in the country's several major radio markets. Stern remained at "K-Rock" until December 2005, a period of over 20 years.

Stern's outspoken style has brought criticism. For example, a few days after the murder of singer Selena, Stern mocked the murder, poked fun at her mourners, and criticized her music. Stern said, "This music does absolutely nothing for me. Alvin and the Chipmunks have more soul... Spanish people have the worst taste in music. They have no depth." Stern's comments outraged and infuriated the Hispanic community across Texas.[46]

On October 26, 2004, then chairman of the FCC Michael Powell was being interviewed on KGO-AM radio in San Francisco when Stern called in and questioned Powell's credentials, and accused Powell and the FCC of crusading against Stern's show by levying huge fines but not allowing them their day in court to determine if the show is obscene.[47]

Stern announced on October 6, 2004, that he signed a five-year contract with Sirius Satellite Radio, a medium free from the regulations imposed by the Federal Communications Commission. He was unhappy broadcasting on commercial radio, with the combined stresses of heavy censorship, editing by management, and lengthy commercial breaks weighed into his decision to move. Within the last month of his terrestrial radio run, Stern revealed he felt "dead inside" creatively.[48] The contract with Sirius, which took effect on January 1, 2006, allowed Stern to have three channels, although only two are currently used. Sirius provided a budget of $500 million to pay Stern, his staff and general production costs.[49] His personal salary has not been revealed, Stern claimed to Gene Simmons of KISS when asked about salaries he makes $7 million a year, though media sources claim that Stern netted a $218 million one-time stock bonus for meeting subscriber quotas.[50]

In May 2006, Stern was included in the Time 100 list by Time magazine, part of the hundred most influential people in the world.[51] and was ranked number seven in "World's Most Powerful Celebrity" by Forbes.[52]

CBS lawsuit

On February 28, 2006, CBS Radio (formerly Infinity Broadcasting) announced it had filed a lawsuit against Stern, his agent Don Buchwald, and Sirius, arguing that Stern promoted Sirius "to enrich himself unfairly."[53] It also claimed that Stern "repeatedly and will-fully" breached his contract with CBS, "misappropriated millions of dollars worth [of airtime]" for his own benefit and "fraudulently concealed" his performance-related interests in Sirius stock. The suit, filed in New York State Court, sought compensatory and punitive damages. Stern anticipated the suit, and earlier that day, prior to CBS' announcement, held a press conference, discussing how CBS added to the media attention, even booking him for appearances on Late Show with David Letterman and 60 Minutes. "I made them millions of dollars," Stern argued. "If I was hurting them, why did they keep me on the air for fourteen months? How can you have it both ways?"[54]

When a settlement was announced on May 26, 2006, Sirius gained exclusive rights to Stern's back catalogue of radio broadcasts at WXRK from November 1985 to December 2005, totalling almost 23,000 hours.[55] The rights, costing Sirius approximately $2 million, equates to approximately $87 per-hour of tape.[56]

Career in other media

Television and pay-per-view

Main articles: Howard Stern television shows and Howard Stern pay-per-view specials and tapes

Stern's career in television began in May 1987, when Fox was looking for a late night talk show to replace The Late Show, then hosted by Joan Rivers. Stern then recorded five pilot episodes of The Howard Stern Show which ultimately, never made it to air. In July 1990, Stern began an weekly hour-long comedy show on WWOR-TV, also called The Howard Stern Show. Lasting a total of 69 episodes before ending in 1992, Stern felt production began to interfere with the growth of his radio show.[57] Stern however, began his time on the E! Entertainment Television network in late 1992, hosting a one-on-one celebrity interview show named The Howard Stern Interview.

In June 1994, cameras were installed in the radio show studio to produce a half-hour show named Howard Stern shown on E!. A consistent ratings winner, the show came to an end after eleven years in July 2005. During this time, Stern competed with Saturday Night Live with The Howard Stern Radio Show, a Saturday night show broadcast on CBS and its affiliates. This was soon to be unsuccessful, with Stern's show being beaten by SNL in the ratings.[58] The show ran for 84 episodes until May 19, 2001. Stern quit further episodes so he could produce a syndicated show called Kane,[59] yet the show was never produced. He was also involved with a pilot starring comedian Robert Schimmel that didn't get picked up as a series.

In 2002, Stern's production company, Howard Stern Productions, acquired the rights to the 1979 film Rock 'n' Roll High School and the 1982 film Porky's, neither of which have yet to be re-made. Stern was also a producer of the series Son of the Beach, which ran for three seasons. He informed listeners in early 2004 that he was in talks with ABC to produce an interview special, which never materialized. He also intended to produce two cartoons, Doomsday[60] and Howard Stern: The High School Years,[61] but neither of these ever made it to the airwaves. In 2009, Stern explained that he refused to agree to flash animation over traditionally drawn cartoons.

Print

Main articles: Private Parts (book) and Miss America (book)

Stern released his first autobiography, Private Parts, on October 15, 1993.[62] It quickly became top of The New York Times Best Seller list, and after five days, the fastest-selling in publisher Simon & Schuster's 70-year history.[63] Stern released his second book, titled Miss America, on November 7, 1995.[64] It too, became number one across the country within weeks of its release.

Stern has written forewards for Steal This Dream, a biography of Abbie Hoffman, Disgustingly Dirty Joke Book by former show writer and comedian Jackie Martling, and Too Fat to Fish by current comedian Artie Lange.

Film and music

Main article: Private Parts (1997 film)

Stern's 1993 autobiography was adapted into an eponymous biographical film in 1997, developed from a script by Len Blum and Michael Kalesniko.[65] Directed by Betty Thomas, the film topped the box office in its opening weekend with a gross of $14.6 million,[66] and slightly more than $41 million in total.[66] Although receiving mostly positive reviews from critics including Siskel and Ebert, Rotten Tomatoes claim the film glossed over Stern's use of his sexual and racial humor.[67] For his performance, Stern won the Blockbuster Entertainment Award for "Favorite Male Newcomer." The awards are given based on write-in votes from fans, and Stern won by a wide margin.[68] Stern was also nominated for a Golden Satellite Award for "Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture (Comedy)," and a Razzie Award for "Worst New Star."[69]

Political

In 1994, Stern embarked on a political campaign for Governor of New York, formally announcing his candidacy under the Libertarian Party ticket.[70][71] His platform included restoring the death penalty, limiting road construction work to night hours, and abolishing tolls.[72] However, he subsequently withdrew his candidacy because he did not wish to comply with the financial disclosure requirements for candidates.[73]

In popular culture

Stern's prevalent media presence has led to his being parodied or referenced in various outlets;

He keeps saying they didn't do anything even when they took a steam shower together... in their bathing suits. Howard said even if Carmen were on the show she would say the same thing."
