What Happened to Howard Stern?

Once an irreverent voice of the common man and a proud outsider, the longtime shock jock has become an obsequious insider.

This is a great article. It is long, but worth the read.

It is a spot-on accurate account of the giant sellout Howard Stern has become.

I read somewhere that he found Metamucil and it has forever changed his life. I knew the guy was full of shit.

He became old and less edgy.

And Youtube/internet took over his platform.

...and his crew also got old. So did his fans..

Good read, thanks for posting. And it is spot-on. He jumped the shark when he got divorced.

He turned into Imus. And it won’t be long until he follows suit.

He always wanted into that world. It crept in even before the divorce, the only thing that slowed it was that he was based on the east coast, and old NY money and fame wouldn't let him in. Also, he is tremendously smart at protecting his money, you can't have women getting naked and riding the Sybian, etc.... in the MeToo era. I'm sure he and his brand knew it years out.

I'll choose to remember like this -

oh yeah the politics also another thing.

In the 80's and 90's there wasn't as much divide and polatity in politics. People barely talked about politics. That was obvious because he was even good friend with Donald Trump himself back then!

Now politics is everywhere. Metoo, immigration, Greta. The fuck.… The 80's/90's was cooler that way. Less divide, less care...

he did his job. Now he is old. Worth 650 mill and makes 90 millions a year. Not bad for a sell out.

Exactly. He's softer, but so am I. The same shit isn't funny like it was 20 years ago.  I still listen to him. Still the best talk radio out there.

I'm envious. I did my job. I am old and I'm not worth shit in dollars as compared to him. Never-the-less, I'm not sure I would want to be him. I prefer being bald and anonymous.  :)

He made his money and now reveals more of who he really is. He is one of the richest people in show business. One thing for sure his interviews are top shelf. He actually listens to the responses to his questions. So many interviewers couldn't care less and are already looking at the teleprompter for the next question. His interview with Billy Joel was amazing. Never heard Joel open up so much.

It depends / his Tracey Morgan & interviews with comedians and rock stars are good.   But when he interviews Kristen Stewart and raves about Twilight, or Hilary Clinton and basically acts like a CNN reporter, he loses his edge.

I'm finding this happening to me with stuff It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. I'm around the same age as all the actors in the show, so when it came out in the mid 00's, I thought it was the funniest thing ever. But now while I still find some of it funny, a lot of it I don't anymore especially the newer seasons.

Oh and Marci Turk is the one said to give Stern that final push off the Liberal cliff. Basically a nobody that scammed and brainwashed him into ultimate PCness. Convinced him to do things like to change names like Gary the Retard to Gary the Conqueror.

 The same thing that happened to Geraldo Rivera. You can only do so many shows about transsexual midgets from Madagascar and the lesbian Satanists who want to adopt them before it gets old.
