A HUGE part of Howard’s magic was to find and abuse, on air, low to medium talent. Gary, Stut John, Jackie, Gange, Grillo, KC, Sal, Richard etc..the list goes on. He kept them there because they were great show filler. It got old after 20 years, but filling the void has proved unlistenable for most fans. I wish Howard would have retired the contract after Artie was gone. It’s like a great boxer that fights way too long after his prime.
@@thatlsk Integrity of the show. The current version(last 10 years) has tarnished the greatness of once what was. He had enough money for 10 lifetimes back then and would have likely been courted for different money making opportunities.
@@STWEEKLY agree!! as soon as Artie was gone and Eric the midget died not long after, it was RIP for me as well. Its unlistenable and just sad after that
King of all media - maybe in Howard's mind! So many of us former fans cannot stand Howard now. All of these wonderful people made that show. Thank you Mike Gange!
I'll speak for gange. Howard didn't want to take a pay cut as he said many times on the air. Howard cares about no one but himself and maybe Robin. Still love the old shows though.
👏👏👏👏👏👏💪 So true, Howard looked out for HIM that's it, he treated Scott the engineer like CRAP when Scott's wife was dying of cancer. Howard treated Dominic like CRAP so this doesn't surprise me whatsoever!
My son was an intern for Stern during College. Did it for a semester. After the semester they offered for him to intern again. My son said NO. So happy my son wasn’t star struck ( the guest not Stern). I would imagine people like Gangi stayed for minimal pay. They didn’t even offer my son car fare to come work for free as Howard makes his Millions. Howard cried about giving his first wife money when they divorced. The wife who had more money than him to start. A better job too. The Alison bore Howard three Beautiful daughters. That he barely helped with. Hid in his basement, I guess because he’s rich and could pay for nannies.
@@karenburns9952 100%!!!! He talks about good of a father he is hahahaha all he did was write checks to ppl and his wife to bring up those kids! He cares pretty about his image on the radio than his family. Your son made the rt decision!
why is howard responsible for.everyone, he gave them a job for all those years, they didn't have to stay there, if you listened to.the tapes anybody from gange to Ronnie they used to treat howard in such disrespectful way, i guess howard shouldve paid for everybody
@@palaciosjorge3075 he's not responsible for everyone. He doesn't pay them but he does pull the strings. It's just how he went about it. He doesn't like confrontation so he just ripped the old bandit right off.
Artie Lange was the greatest fit to the Howard Stern show…more than any other character or personality, past or present. Artie’s popularity exceeded Howard’s in many cases.
@@t_p3688 Artie's humor was all about him being a mess and the things he'd do while he was a mess. It was very repetitive. If he didn't have his drug problem(s) he didn't have material. Jackie was so quick-witted with his writing, plus he had the nutty wife and the retarded cat, he was so cheap.... and unapologetic about it, he pushed back against Howard when NO ONE was doing that back then. He was more well-rounded than Artie, not just hitting the same note over and over.
We heard at least half a dozen incidents on air that Gange should have been fired for. He got it pretty good! The way he talked to his boss on air sometimes was mind-blowingly entitled.
I have to add a different perspective here. A lot of ex Stern employees rip Howard after being "fired" but what really jumps out at you when you look at the history of the show is just how stable Howard's employee base has been. The radio business is notoriously unstable and unpredictable, mass firings are common and few shows have employees that can say they were a part of a team for 20+ years. Howard has had a lot of them and most of the employees are not really Stern employees anyways, they are employed by Sirius or whatever radio station he works for. The management of those companies is always looking for way to cut costs and Howard has been known for going to bat for employees and keeping them with him when management was trying to cut them loose. You can't be on the air for 40 yrs. and not have some attrition, even with the star of the show trying to keep a team together long term there are times when certain employees are going to be let go, it's just a part of business, especially the radio business. Also, the only reason we know about employees being fired, or laid off, on Howard's show is because he weaves employees into the show itself so they become known to his audience. Most radio stations people get fired and the audience has no idea it even happened. So why are Stern show employees somehow exempt from the volatility of the radio business but not other radio shows employees?
One of the best interviews, you guys have done. Gange gave a great take on what it was like to work on the HSS, without hate or trying to kiss Howard’s ass.
Howard TV weren’t saints, by the way. They treated the wack pack, and other guests like trash, and it was common knowledge that Howard TV was made up of amateurs. If you’ve ever seen a Howard TV production, you’ll see how lowbrow and badly done they were.
@@arynrowland862 all good points. As much as I really enjoyed the show and have listened to a lot of the older clips (especially with Artie) a gajillion times, the staff was filled with crappy people. And Howard TV was pretty wack. Almost all of the “behind the scenes” stuff was garbage and rarely funny. If I would’ve paid for Howard TV on demand back in the day, I would’ve been pissed lol
P.s. I feel bad for Scott. Howard did him extra dirty. Think about the tons of 💩 he got over the years. And Howard couldn’t even throw a little cash for him to help his wife. Howard is the king of low lifes but that was low even for him
Very underrated fight with Steve the Intern too. I love how Steve suddenly grew a set and decided he was above being referred to as an intern. Douchebag
Good Thing he went into producing after the Stern Show. I never listened to another person in my lifetime that utters the word "uhm" so many times in one sentence.
The show was never local for me, so almost my entire knowledge of Stern comes from the E! show. Great times. I don't even bother to look at the new stuff anymore.
The HSS died in 2010 for us REAL Stern fans. Ill even go as far to say he stayed alive on life support until he hired Marci Turk AND started liking Ellen`s dancing. The 1st time I heard him say that, I cancelled my Sirius. I knew it was over for sure when those 2 things happened. I never liked Gange on the show (he was creepy with the young interns) but it sucks how 25+ year employees found out on the air that their tenure was over. Sad end to a once great show. RIP Stern show 1991-2010
The show is unlistenable now. Which is why nobody listens. Sirius wants him gone and yet for whatever reason they feel loyalty to him because Howard did help put em on the map. But Sirius is in deep trouble now.
Gange's career advice is to work for basically nothing for years as an intern and hope that someone leaves so you can fill their role all to be replaced by an intern years later...make of that what you will..
I always enjoy listening to the old clips on RUclips including Ganges antics. Unfortunately he has not learned not to say “you know” as Howard told him to stop saying. I lost count at 30x here. Dude… You Know?
I love that they gave Beetlejuice his props… he was the king. I thought that was just my opinion it’s great to hear staff felt the same. Can’t imagine how hilarious he was behind the scenes in the halls like he mentioned
To add to your point about Howard not needing anyone but himself, which I’m sure he’s being slightly sarcastic. If I can add one thing, I’ve never heard anyone talk about highlights of past shows where the focus of what was funny was something Howard did. It’s pretty rare if so.
Stern fans are the guys that never wanted to leave High School and move on to newer things. It all has to be that same experience as when you were 17. Comments are all the same - boring.
39:09 for anyone wondering, I think this was during 2010. In shows in October 2010, Howard routinely played Ronnie's definitions (the audio) during the show to embarrass Ronnie. I wish Fred could play 'Howard is dumb' clips like when Howard mispronounced things or made an idiotic mistake that would be worse than even Sal would make...I digress.
Theodore “Teddy” Roland, if you’re listening, PLEASE accept a podcast w “Here’s the Pitch”. Watch a few episodes and you’ll see Brad’s cool, calm style-talent of a respectful conversation like interview w his guests. As a long time HSS fan, I’m starving to hear ur experience working w Ronnie, Howard, Gary and most importantly how crazy life was as Artie’s assistant back in the day. Hopefully someone will forward this to you as I’m sure ur fans (like me) would love to hear from ya. - The dude
I would have liked to hear some examples of which things that wound up on the air "were manufactured." Otherwise, solid interview. Gange was pretty open here.
Even when the stern show was great, Gange was the worst part of it. He’s an entitled man child that was spoiled by his parents. Stern never should’ve given him that camera holding job, it really gave him a false sense of talent.
After HowardTv ended, video part of the show is controlled by SiriusXm, so Howard could insist that Sirius hire his old team, but instead they hired all new people who seat now in the same HowardTv rooms
The best thing about the show left when Alot of the originals left When it was Howard, Robin, Jackie, Fred, Gary, Ralph, Stuttering John, Gange, the early versions of the wack pack, the wacky guests he'd get (some from calls and some off the street) ect...ect... Then he started running his show like it's a professional show and not what it was .... It was a comedy show with a host who went against the grain and didn't give a f*ck what people thought. Then he cared what others thought about him and his reputation and now the shows not even that funny anymore
The show seemed to be more spontaneous.. heterosexual and less political.. Now it is so contrived...gay themed half the time and Howard's politics are just ear burning.... He's lost it and it's time to move on like many of the staff have
Why? He’s locked up in his Castle of Cats. Making sure his poor young wife doesn’t escape and get germs on herself or speak Free Speech. I look forward to seeing her and the cats inherent all that CA$H.
@@arynrowland862 Not sure why that matters. Howard has been a multi millionaire for decades. It's not like the era Gange talks about Howard was broke, lol. He was already making millions
Really kind of a dead end gig unless you were Fred, Gary or Robin. All of the staff were used for content. From the outside listening you really thought it was a closer crew. Howard is every bit as Hollywood as the shit he railed against for years. Hate to hear that. When Sal cried on air for the he was retiring prank , those were real tears lllol . Stern making $80 mill a year & the punching bags are probably not even making median salary of the avg American. Kind of disgusting really. Now I see why he was so pissed about Leno "overpaying" for Stuttering Johns services. John is POS but he would have never gotten the money Leno paid him. Stern is a highly insecure dirt bag, that part is not acting. That part at the end ? 24 years & get canned on the air ? Psycho
John’s a realtor now, spending all day either cold calling customers or going on random podcasts to bash Howard, his employer from 20 years ago… If he stayed with stern he’d probably still be there making money. He went for a payday, sucked at it, was fired, and now struggles to make ends meet. John’s an idiot. Howard knew he was a talentless dolt but was willing to pay to keep him. He doubled his salary for about a year. And now he makes zero point zero.
@@STWEEKLY scott eisenger (spelling), Robin Radzinski, Twisted Sister dude, High Pitch Mike, richard Simmons, Benjy’s ex, Gonzo shit cock, Jan ( eric the midgets caretaker) Stuttering John, Yucko, Imran Kahn. How’s that?
Everyone pines for old Howard but you can’t expect the same content from someone for 35 years. People change so a show changes. I still enjoy the show. Is it different? Yes. It’d be strange if Howard was still tearing apart interns at 68 years old.
gange is a clown he worked for free for a long time because he wasn't worth paying and he made a ton of mistakes he is lucky he was there as long as he was.
Howard kept the interns because it was cheap or free labor. Regardless of what their jobs were in the office, their real value was what they brought onto the air. They were characters on the show. Unpaid actors. They were at fault for that as well though. They weren’t paid and made no effort to leave.
From what I remember if you put in a vhs tape with the tab off and hit record the tape would eject instantly. I also don't remember a tape that would record for 6 hours, 2 hours I think.
Companies like to spring things up n people last minute.. my company decided to close a bunch of underperforming stores and rather than give them warning they just showed up and told everyone they’re being let go that day and good luck.
Howard made semi stars out of all the guys. Gange, Grillio, Stuttering Jon, KC and others. I thought they were all pretty funny and seemed to understand to show dynamic especially when Howard and the core group would goof on them. The story about Howard ending the relationship with the Howard Tv guys is kinda disappointing. If that is the way it happened I feel like Howard should have talk to them before dropping the bomb on the air. After Artie left and the show was evolving into a more PC climate I lost my taste for it and canceled my Sirius. Anyways love the old stern tapes on You Tube and these interviews with ex staff members.
Howard should win a Nobel prize for his philanthropy just for keeping baba booey and Jackie employed all those years. That charity alone is immeasurable.
This is how bad Howard was. He had every1 thinking they were nothing and he was the show. And actually every1 made the show and without them he would be nothing like he is 2day. He really is a miserable man!
Gange....the 20 year Non talented, Unmotivated, BETA, F'up Extraordinaire who literally got outperformed by a random 10 year old kid. But that's okay because you did a 'damn good job"......NOT (just ask Jen)
That gangie guy was so annoying. I couldn't stand any of the howard TV guys. Remember how long it used to take them to get things done? After listening to this though, he's a great guy.
I still love the Howard Stern show. People who get fired always blame everyone else but themselves. I'm sure there's 2 sides of the story . And he's only telling his side
Say what you will of Howard and his staff. But he is the only radio performer where anyone ever even so much as reviewed their practices as it pertained to their staff, firings, etc. Never mind having dozens of different people trotted out to talk for an hour about it. Not to mention as a guy doing radio, you're not the sole arbiter of who stays, goes, gets promoted, etc. Either way, there's nothing to compare it to since Howard is apparently the only guy who is on the hook for life for all these people's occupational trajectories.
Right?? It’s hilarious. If Howard worked for free to pay his staff more, everyone would still bitch at him. I have no idea why everyone seems to think he owes everyone who ever worked there some sort of pension.

Yeah, but any of us would for $100 million a year. You’re lying to yourself if you say otherwise.
@@arynrowland862 I think for 100 million he would have no issue saying wNNNbc now
@@arynrowland862 Not sure why that matters. Howard has been a multi millionaire for decades. It's not like the era Gange talks about Howard was broke, lol. He was already making millions
I wouldn’t call him a sellout. I would call him full.
Really kind of a dead end gig unless you were Fred, Gary or Robin. All of the staff were used for content. From the outside listening you really thought it was a closer crew. Howard is every bit as Hollywood as the shit he railed against for years. Hate to hear that.
When Sal cried on air for the he was retiring prank , those were real tears lllol . Stern making $80 mill a year & the punching bags are probably not even making median salary of the avg American. Kind of disgusting really.
Now I see why he was so pissed about Leno "overpaying" for Stuttering Johns services. John is POS but he would have never gotten the money Leno paid him. Stern is a highly insecure dirt bag, that part is not acting. That part at the end ? 24 years & get canned on the air ? Psycho
John’s a realtor now, spending all day either cold calling customers or going on random podcasts to bash Howard, his employer from 20 years ago…
If he stayed with stern he’d probably still be there making money. He went for a payday, sucked at it, was fired, and now struggles to make ends meet. John’s an idiot. Howard knew he was a talentless dolt but was willing to pay to keep him. He doubled his salary for about a year. And now he makes zero point zero.
We All Go Through The Same Thing At Work... They Pretend To Care About You... You Need To PRETEND To Care About Them...
well done
Love you Gange !
Good man!
Come on man, jonesin for some new content broseph!
Me too
Trust me I continue to try. Got some names you would like to see?
@@STWEEKLY scott eisenger (spelling), Robin Radzinski, Twisted Sister dude, High Pitch Mike, richard Simmons, Benjy’s ex, Gonzo shit cock, Jan ( eric the midgets caretaker) Stuttering John, Yucko, Imran Kahn. How’s that?
Scott
@STWEEKLY Billy West, Grillo..
Everyone pines for old Howard but you can’t expect the same content from someone for 35 years. People change so a show changes. I still enjoy the show. Is it different? Yes. It’d be strange if Howard was still tearing apart interns at 68 years old.
gange is a clown he worked for free for a long time because he wasn't worth paying and he made a ton of mistakes he is lucky he was there as long as he was.
Is it just me, or is there no sound?
I updated my app and it is fine
@@STWEEKLY thanks for the heads up. I'll try doing the same
I had no sound at first then I refreshed it and heard sound.
@@STWEEKLY I refreshed it and it's fine
Are you calling Gange a blowhard? 😅😅😅
He was always a target due to having the highest I.Q. and he is too handsome.
Who are u talking about?
Howard kept the interns because it was cheap or free labor. Regardless of what their jobs were in the office, their real value was what they brought onto the air. They were characters on the show. Unpaid actors. They were at fault for that as well though. They weren’t paid and made no effort to leave.
He was a total creep his whole time on the show.
From what I remember if you put in a vhs tape with the tab off and hit record the tape would eject instantly. I also don't remember a tape that would record for 6 hours, 2 hours I think.
Yes, there were different recording/quality speeds, ep or LP if I recall.
gange was lucky Howard gave him a life. He should be thankful his time on the show lasted as long as it did.
Go back and redo the audio to where you’re not whispering and Gange’s not screaming
I don't know. This interview was kind of a nothingburger. Nothing shocking revealed of any interest.
Eric was the greatest wackpacker.
facts...but Riley, and Hank was pretty cool too
I liked Beetle, HPE, and Bigfoot but ETM was great
@@justmissjamey for sure, RIP to those guya.
@@andrewsallee3060 they were all great. A brillianr set of characters.
@@reallyannoyingguyrighthere thats true. Really hard to pin point one. They all contributed and were great. Miss the old HSS
Companies like to spring things up n people last minute.. my company decided to close a bunch of underperforming stores and rather than give them warning they just showed up and told everyone they’re being let go that day and good luck.
Arite scott joke man and mike G wish they bring back for hiward reunion
I want those cassettes
Gange should have been fired at KRock
Howard made semi stars out of all the guys. Gange, Grillio, Stuttering Jon, KC and others. I thought they were all pretty funny and seemed to understand to show dynamic especially when Howard and the core group would goof on them. The story about Howard ending the relationship with the Howard Tv guys is kinda disappointing. If that is the way it happened I feel like Howard should have talk to them before dropping the bomb on the air. After Artie left and the show was evolving into a more PC climate I lost my taste for it and canceled my Sirius. Anyways love the old stern tapes on You Tube and these interviews with ex staff members.
Sorry you don’t get to hear racism and rampant homophobia anymore.
I TOLD YOU NOT TO USE THE TAPE
No frickin way GAN-GHEEE
It’s pretty simple if you do not like Howard or the show you do not have to listen.
And I don't. For decades.
Does Howard still have a show? The show really ended when Eric the midget died. The show started dying when Artie left.
Agreed 100%. The only time the show was EVER funny after artie left was Richard and sals pranks, and Etm fighting with gonzo
This new version of the Stern show after already left is just gone down hill 100%
Howard should win a Nobel prize for his philanthropy just for keeping baba booey and Jackie employed all those years. That charity alone is immeasurable.
This is how bad Howard was. He had every1 thinking they were nothing and he was the show. And actually every1 made the show and without them he would be nothing like he is 2day. He really is a miserable man!
Umm no Howards show is hot garbage period talk about a waste of money Sirius must be mad
Gange....the 20 year Non talented, Unmotivated, BETA, F'up Extraordinaire who literally got outperformed by a random 10 year old kid. But that's okay because you did a 'damn good job"......NOT (just ask Jen)
They should contract him to go there and let Tracy yell at him every day for an hour.
Almost as boring as Howard's show but still better than howard in the 20s
Robin make $10mil a year which is such BS! Howard says he doesn’t kno what anyone makes but we all know that’s BS.
Right? Right? Right? Right? Right?
Sheesh, Gange. Still having trouble with communicating I see!
19:37 from start.. to finish?
Jus’ chippin’ ya
That gangie guy was so annoying. I couldn't stand any of the howard TV guys. Remember how long it used to take them to get things done?
After listening to this though, he's a great guy.
Top shelf licka
Dop shelve liggah
I still love the Howard Stern show. People who get fired always blame everyone else but themselves. I'm sure there's 2 sides of the story . And he's only telling his side
Gangs looks damn good for a man in his 50’s! I would have thought 36. Likable dude.
Do you have a crush on him?
Wasn’t it labeled ‘special tape’? Lol classic Stern!
Say what you will of Howard and his staff. But he is the only radio performer where anyone ever even so much as reviewed their practices as it pertained to their staff, firings, etc. Never mind having dozens of different people trotted out to talk for an hour about it. Not to mention as a guy doing radio, you're not the sole arbiter of who stays, goes, gets promoted, etc. Either way, there's nothing to compare it to since Howard is apparently the only guy who is on the hook for life for all these people's occupational trajectories.
Right?? It’s hilarious. If Howard worked for free to pay his staff more, everyone would still bitch at him.
I have no idea why everyone seems to think he owes everyone who ever worked there some sort of pension.
Why not flip the tape and fast forward it a bit so not to lose any part of the shoe? Just sayin.
All these guys are still so bitter about not being on the show anymore lmao
