Stern put a gag order on O&A back when he was going through his divorce.
Why the fuck is Howard Stern still around in the media industry? The only folks who even give a shit about him are the hangers-on for him show.
O & A would rip on him during his divorce (and on other occasions as well). He threw a hissy fit and because he's higher up in the same company (Infinity Broadcasting) they made O & A stop talking about him.
I thought that the Hot or Not website people were suing ABC.
It seems the suit is valid, in which case Stern is entitled to some kind of compensation - large enough to dissuade television channels from ripping off more ideas.
I'm telling you, the networks are starving for ideas. Their programming departments should be purged of idiots. You can quibble about isolated incidents all you want, but Stern is a real talent that so many others have ripped off. I doubt there's anyone with half his brain at ABC.
That said, I wish crap like that show would stay on the radio and late-night cable.
Yea, and where are O and A now? They're out on the street corner asking for handouts because they went too far and got thrown out on their ass for it.
I like Howard Stern. Last summer and the summer before, his radio show always brightened up by horrible, dull commute. It's genuinely funny, and in recent years he has somewhat cooled it on the "bring in the porn star or lesbian and have them make out and get naked" stuff. His interviews are genuinely good, and he usually asks questions that no one else would. I remember Dick Clark called in and he started asking questions about the guy's bidet. :)
Sorry for being OT, but people give Stern too little credit.
They'll be back, they always come back.Quote:

Stern is a complete idiot, he may be funny, but he's still a stubborn, egotistical jackass.
The suit is valid though. Didn't he also try to sue that Street Smarts show?
Not really. I wasn't a fan of his until a couple of years ago and now it's better than ever without Jackie. Artie Lange takes his place and is a hell of alot funnier with his witty retort. He's awesome man, as diffusion said, he brings alot of cheer into my daily school commute and makes me laugh in front of everyone making me look like a lunatic fuck if I care though. ;)Quote:

All ABC needs to do is argue that they got the idea from the website and they stand a good chance of winning. Fuck Stern, he's an ass. His show has gotten monotonous and drab, he's a fucking has-been.
