Dirty Work was hilarious, unlike 98% of the movies made by past SNL stars.
I saw part of Dirty Work on cable a few weeks ago. It seemed kinda funny.
Dirty Work is good for a few laughs
Even Uwe Boll movies make that. Heck, in theaters they make that.Quote:

Sal and Bam would then have their cocks out and take little tiny steps forward until someone gave up. :yuck:
Happily, I got to work early into the Steve-O/Bam interview so I don't know if this went down or not.
BTW, Artie weighed in at 282lbs this morning. Woah.
Go Howard, you king of all media you!Quote:

fattest heroin addict ever.

He was probably doing it while filming Beer League. That would explain all the weight he lost back then.
I didn't hear the whole thing, as I'm at work now. I need to look up my Sirius username/password so I can start listening to the internet stream.
Might also explain part of why Beer League is supposed to be horriffically bad.
I heard it was the biggest opening week flop of all time.
for those who care, there was no gay chicken. Sal and Richard painted Howard and Gene Simmons on their privates, using their penises for howard's nose and gene's tongue. They then had a contest to see who could get their sacks closeset to a candle flame and stay there the longest. Bam and Steve-O didn't participate.
Beer League was okay at best, and "eh" at worst. It's only really notable because Artie's in it.Quote:

And LOL at Crazy Alice going demonic during the football picks.
God damn, I can't believe I missed that. I'm going to have to look for it during the replays.Quote:

I just heard Artie's heroin admission on the replay. Dole, I'm glad you brought this up because I would have been kicking myself for missing it. Greatest live commercial for Betus.net ever.
George Takei is in the studio again today! :tu: :tu:
Was this announced beforehand? The show's always better when George is there.
He's there today and tomorrow I guess. George is the man.
Howard said a few weeks ago that George was stopping by on September, but didn't make any announcements about his arrival recently. It sucks he won't be in the entire week, but I think he's in until Wednesday (unless I heard incorrectly).Quote:

If its true....he really must be having a hard time getting guests.
Even if ICP was on, that means jack (though I'm glad I missed it). Maybe someone canceled, or something. The guests have been pretty good imo lately. I mean, Conan used to have Al Roker on every few months, doesn't mean a whole lot.Quote:

Particularly that one. I love O&A but they don't get a lot of A-list guests. I mean they have a lot of regular guests that are very entertaining (I'd rather listen to Patrice Oneal than Tom Cruise any day), but as far as big names? Not as much. They're too notorious for laying into people and burning bridges. I remember Amanda Peet was on one time, and Opie asked her what was wrong with her tits in the Whole 10 Yards just to see what would happen. I'm sure that cost them anyone else that publicist works with.Quote:

He's had ICP in as guests for a long time, as far back as I can remember. Long before all the O&A lovers decided they didn't like Howard anymore. Howard's guest list is about the same as it's always been. He only ever got big names once in a while, and he still gets them once in a while. Today he had Gilbert Gotfried!
He had several of the guys from Jackass last week (Bam, Steve-O, Johnny Knoxville). Having the stars of the #1 movie in the country ain't too shabby.
But yeah, Howard's guest list has been a little less impressive since the move to Sirius (smaller audience = less celeberties willing to come on and promote shit), but the show itself is so much improved otherwise that I don't really care.
And George Takei was only in the studio until Tuesday. No George today. :(
Yeah, it's too bad George lives in California and is busy doing Star Trek cruises and such, because I really want him to be in the studio more (the two truths and a lie revelations were awesome). I wonder what it will take to convince Howard to hire him full-time.Quote:

Yesterday we found out why they kept delaying the Gary roast and Sam Simon's The Bitter Half. They were saving them for the two day free preview of Sirius' internet service on October 25th and 26th. Anyone here going to try it out?
Bob Schimmel is one of the greatest guests EVER. The argument he had with his wife and the horrid resentment and jealousy he carried throughout the entire interview was classic. My favorite line:
"The grass is always greener on the other side. At least with my first wife, I didn't have to worry about guys trying to fuck her."
Brutal.
Todays show was pretty good with the whole Elliot crap and the Schimmel story with his wife.
For those of you who did not catch the end of the Howard Stern show today, I strongly advise that you catch a replay. Gilbert Gottfried was the last guest, and it was classic, brutally funny Gilbert and Artie. Things were so hectic that Gilbert managed to get himself censored by Howard. They never revealed what he said afterwards, but it had something to do with Steve Irwin's kid. Also catch the first-half of the Wrap Up Show if you have time.
83,000,000 dollars says Howard wins, again.
Artie rules so fucking much. I hope he doesn't die anytime soon.
BTW, I guess with Mastertape Theatre, we'll never get a new show on a Friday ever again.
And speaking of Mastertape Theatre, I really couldn't possibly give less of a shit about it. I don't care about the old shows- all they do is remind me of how much better Stern is on Sirius. Howard 100/101 sucks on Fridays now.
Yeah, that's a nice little bonus he got.Quote:

The show's entertaining, but it needs some tweaking.
Agreed. And they replay the same 4 hour show all day and night long on Friday. Mastertape Theater sucks.Quote:

His phony phone calls are funny. Just keep that idiot off the air.Quote:

I never listen to it, so I don't care either way. The same goes for Ferrell.Quote:

Seriously, does anyone listen to Bubba or Ferrell?
Am I the only person who doesn’t mind Ralph? I mean, I'm not a huge fan or anything but the guy's funny, he's blunt as all hell, and anyone that can leech off another person and not have to work certainly has MY respect.Quote:

If it needs any tweaking, it's only minor. The show's 100x better than it ever was at K-Rock.Quote:

I listen to Bubba because I use to listen pre Sirius days when he was on local radio. I don't really listen to Ferrell but I am sure it is the same with people that do, they probably use to listen to him before he was on Sirius.
EDIT: Oh and Mastertape Theater sucks, it is the only time I won't listen to 100/101
Mastertape theater is good in theory. I actually like that they play the whole show. The worst thing about the E Show, which also applies here, is that they focus on the celebrity guest clips when those are often the most boring parts of a show. I think they should do a Friday show in the mornings and save Mastertape theater as a friday afternoon/weekend/vacation thing, and they shouldn't play the same one back to back over and over.
I thought Bubba was stupid at first, but I listened and I like him now. If I'm listening to a part of the Stern Show replay that I've heard already I'll switch to Bubba and be happy. As long as he's not talking about racing and other hick stuff it's good. I love when Bubba visits Howard in NY, those have been some of the best segments on the Stern Show. Ferrell sucks all around though. I hate having him instead of Bubba on my drive home from work.
I agree with Dole about Ralph, but I'll go so far as to say that I'm a Ralph fan. He's great when girls are in the studio specifically. Howard and the regulars lie all the time about how hot a girl is. Many times I've gone to Howardstern.com in the evening because I had to see what the chick they were talking about looked like, only to be disappointed. Ralph's is the only opinion i trust over the air.
Ralph sucks
Agree with Dole about Sal... keep him behind the scenes and not in view trying to fellate Richard Christie.
Still hate Ralph.
I cannot possibly agree with this statement more. There's been countless times that Howard has declared a girl a "10" or "perfect" or the "hottest girl we've ever had on" and then I go to Howardstern.com to see the pic and she's a total pig. Ralph tells it like it is.Quote:

Well, Howard announced on his show this morning that he proposed to Beth O. yesterday. After eight years of claiming that he would never get married after his divorce, Howard popped the question while both were nude. The first two hours were nothing but everyone busting on Howard's chops. Good show so far.
I want to hear him complain more about Howard K. Stren.
I know most of you guys are not huge fans of Bubba the Love Sponge but starting on the 23rd, he will be on in the morning every Friday on 101 from 6-10. Beats listening to Mastertape theater.
Man, moving to satellite was the worst thing Howard could do. He doesn't even register in my mind anymore. Mornings feel a lot more productive now.
So you haven't heard any of the Sirius shows? Sorry to hear that.Quote:

BTW, the music special is this weekend. Should be good.
EDIT: yeah, what Cow said.
Good = George Takei is in-studio all week.
Bad = After calling in "sick" yet again yesterday, Artie announced that he thinks he needs to go to rehab, although he wouldn't say why or if he was using drugs again.
Artie talked about it for a bit in the Wrap-Up Show. His explanation was that he never really went to rehab after his bout with heroin, unlike his previous addiction with cocaine. He's afraid that he hasn't really overcome his heroin addiction like his cocaine addiction and felt that a stint in rehab will help him overcome his fear. He also stated that the Stern schedule is killing him (since he's also doing stand-up full time), and would use rehab as a way to catch up on sleep.Quote:

It doesn't seem likely, and Artie is going to cut down on his stand-up gigs after April due to some tapings with Rescue Me and maybe Entourage, so that should reduce his stress. Definitely catch the Wrap-Up Show replay if you have a chance.
I'm going to see Artie Lange in a Comedy Central show taping this Thursday (late afternoon) in NYC. I might have an extra ticket if a friend bows out, but I won't know until tomorrow. Watch this space if you live near the city, are interested in going, and will be free Thursday.
I don't know why Artie feels compelled to work so many stand-up gigs. They did this bit back on K-Rock where all the main players on the Stern show revealed their salaries and Artie was making $500,000 a year back then. He has to be making even more now on Sirius.
The thing is, he signed a contract and the Stern Show is his main job. Either cut back on the outside jobs that are affecting your work or just fucking quit. In 4 years Stern's done anyway, Artie'll have plenty of time to work gigs and sitcoms then.
I might be interested. Let me know.Quote:

Artie touched on this during the Wrap-Up Show. Artie admitted that he's having a hard time leaving money on the table. During the last year at K-Rock, Artie was making 3x the money he normally does at stand-up. Now, especially after his Carnegie Hall stint, he's easily making 4x.Quote:

Dole, check your PM.
Artie's the best part of the show without question. That said, his stand up act mostly sucks out loud. If he wasn't connected to the show he would have a hard time making a living solely as a standup.
Wrong cow, but we both basically live in NYC.
Twas an inside joke from the last TNL meetup.Quote:

Yeah, thanks again for the offer, Cow. If I didn't have that interview I would totally take you up on it.
Gilbert Gottfried + George Takei + Shit Sprinkles + Ed McMahon's Audio Book = awesomeness.
The Ed McMahon phony phone call was great, but I'm so fucking sick of Gilbert Gottfried being on every other day.
Gilbert's only on like once a month; the problem is that Fred uses Dice Gottfried clips every 5 minutes. I love it when Artie and Gilbert set out to derail the news; my favorite was the "Watermelon Loving-Berry" incident.Quote:

Shit, the other day he did a phone interview with some guy who used to be the weatherman for Channel 9 News back when I was a kid. I almost felt sorry for Howard.
Not that Sterns needs celebrity guests anyway- the Sirius show is more than awesome enough without them. I just pray that Artie doesn't end up leaving (either because of Hollywood or death).
I usually tune out when they have a guest on, the show is much better when they have a bit going on or they are just shooting the shit.Quote:

Yeah, George has a "full-time" career and lives in California, but he should definitely do the show more. At least one week a month.
I could live with that.Quote:

I don't think Stern's guest quality has dropped much either. He never got many big names even on terrestrial radio. The people who he did get weren't the A listers they are now when he got them (Jim Carrey, Sienfeld, Schwarzenegger). At Sirius he's still had Donald Trump, Martha Stewart. Hulk Hogan, Luke Wilson, M. Night Shamaylan, Ozzy, Ivan Rightman, Roger Daltry, and many more.
Hoooooooo, boy! I just got an interesting bit of gossip.
My coworker stopped by my office to ask me about the Artie Lange Comedy Central taping last night. She commented that she met one of the comedians who did the warm up last night at a party. The comedian (whose name I can't remember, but he's Iranian and was funny at the show) told her about a pre-interview he did with Artie Lange and asked him this question. I am paraphrasing here, and I acknowledge that this could be nothing more than hearsay, but if it's true, it would explain a lot of things.
Holy shit. If this is true, it would explain Artie's recent absences and why Artie said he wanted to go to rehab for 28 days.Quote:
Comedian: So how's the love life going?
Artie Lange: It's not going well. In fact, I shouldn't even be telling you this, but I broke up with my last girlfriend because I was using heroin again.
The comedian told my coworker that Artie looked like a complete mess when he interviewed him. And here's a bonus question and answer because I thought it was funny.
:lol:Quote:
Comedian: So you've done Mad TV, Beer League, movies, and the Howard Stern show. During your career, when was the time you had the best ladies.
Artie Lange: When I was on cocaine. As soon as I whipped it out, all the supermodels flocked to you.
It wouldn't suprise me if Artie was using again. He kicked the habit on his own that one time, but he never got the professional help he needs to correct his issues and function sober. Rehab might do the trick, although I wish he'd put it off until after Stern's Sirius deal is done. A month without Artie would suck.
Call into the Stern Show monday and rat on Artie. It's always funny when he gets busted by listeners.Quote:

Holy shit, look at that size of that paint gun!

Sal got fucked up really bad from that. He fell, like, 7 feet onto concrete. Broke 2 ribs and shattered his wrist. They saying he may have to have a steel plate inserted for his wrist to heal correctly.
The fact that Sal got hurt isn't funny, but the visual of him dancing off the stage wearing that Baba Booey mask is.
