Like many performers (David Bowie, Robbie Williams, Sacha Baron Cohen, Andy Kaufman, etc.), Howard Stern has a performance persona, who is different from how he is when he is being himself. With Howard Stern, the persona doesn't come with a different name, costume, voice, or any other clear indicators, and so it is harder to tell them apart. His persona is quite a douche, because that is actually what worked for him in creating his success, and so he just stuck to his shtick.
What an asshole. This clown has no sense of enough is enough with his probing, taunting interrogation. Shame on him for even touching that guitar in disrespect when she was actually about to play the song. She handled this with class and vigor. Well done Suzanne, you are awesome!
@@johngilliam6764Kind of true, not going to lie. Normally she's so closed-off in interviews and makes herself seem somewhat dull when in truth there's a lot more to her than she'll allow out.
Wow, this has to be the most uncomfortable I ever felt watching an interview ever, I feel so bad that she had to put herself trough this, no more words seriously.. He should‘ve been exposed ages ago already..Disgusting! He doesn‘t deserve to be in the presence of her talent!
I love Suzanne Vega and this was very hard to watch. I don't think she had to go on his show because she was pretty well known by that point but it might have been something she felt like she had to do. It's really unfortunate if she forced herself to do it. But I'm happy to see she never changed herself just to satisfy that kind of criticism. And didn't let it destroy her.
Jeepers......Ms. Vega is the absolute salt of the earth. Truly a brilliant light, and as demonstrated here.....massively patient and diplomatic. Howard Stern...(however).....truly a "Trumpian" deja-vu.....on steroids. If that's even possible. Suzanne Vega should be presented with some highly place award for humanity, simply for surviving with grace. Mr.Stern should be sent to a "re-education" camp somewhere in Outer Mongolia to herd Yaks part time, while undergoing lessons in human empathy, manner correction, and ego adjustment. For twelve years.
This is an interrogation. I would have just got up and left. Stern is building his reputation as a hard kind of pushy talk show host, at the expense of his guests. Suzanne is showing a lot of class.
They were friends, lol. She knew what he was about, and she knew what she was getting into going into this interview. Everyone who went to his show knew what was going to happen. Stop trying to find something that's not there
When I first saw he was going to interview Suzanne Vega I thought 'Oh! He's going to rip her to shreds!' Before the interview when I heard a voice over of her comparing being interviewed by Howard Stern to that of playing a contact sport? I totally understood. They're friends. Strange friends, but friends.
Ewww, Howard Stern was making me so uncomfortable the entire time. So incredibly cringe to watch him pressure her to kiss him. But Suzanne is a legend!
What the f...??? Did she really have to be objectified in such a vile way, on TV, for millions of people to see? Was that ever acceptable? That's plain sexual harassment!
And Stern criticizes people like Trump for how they act??? ok in this he may have been acting out for ratings so he could live up to his 'shock jock' status but wow, so so so creepy and inappropriate, to the point where I don't think he was acting anymore. Vega is a total pro and handles it well which makes Stern look even more embarrassing.
Like many here, I don't really like Howard Stern, but the whole thing is a joke and Suzanne's clearly in on it. She certainly would have known what she was getting into by coming on Stern's show (he was already notorious by 1993) - and she more than holds her own against his 'banter'.
This should be the top comment. Stern is an arrogant asshole, that's his shtick. And Suzanne was fully aware of the game, played it admirably. For goodness sake, he even asked for consent moment by moment, and all the white knight dorks in the comments are saying this was a MeToo moment! Eastwood's right, most of America has be pussified to the point of absurdity.
The comments on this video remind me of when my parents would try to cover my eyes from anything naughty. Really, for me, all it did in the long run is make it more appealing.
This is the weirdest interview I've ever seen. Hair metal brought a lot of weirdos to the entertainment industry and television. He's the rudest interviewer ever. Who tf asks if a person's been sexually molested as a child within the first few minutes of a public conversation? This is more and more of a train wreck as it goes on
Shuldn't the criteria of the questions be about the subject matter of her songs & film clips aswell as her next show. It was seriously ambitious clicking on this with a possibility of howard stern not being an absolute douche. There's absolutely no respect shown. Lmao Buddha isn't a little green statue ?!?
suzanne*vega, connected to patti smith and her miserable children jackson and jesse...your sister Alyson ( `*nadine´ ) connected to Ashton Sanders´s DAD Rodney < R❗CkY
Nowadays he does amazing interviews that look nothing like this. These interviews with just him one-on-one were so bad. She handled this well considering how cringe-inducing he was back then.
The 1990s were a hell of a time. Suzanne is handling this as a pro.
Yeah, she's the best.
She’s Suzanne freaking Vega!
This is so unbelievably embarrassing
What the hell is wrong with this man??

He's an anthill of coke inside a dopesick body.

This is mild for him.
This interview should be used in any lecture regarding misogyny. Well done Howard!
Unwatchable, Suzanne was interviewed with an unchained demon.
A very professionally-handled interview even by the standards of the era. Well done Suzanne.
God bless Suzanne
god bless the MP3 file format!
God bless Howard Stern for making her interesting lmao
@@johngilliam6764Kind of true, not going to lie. Normally she's so closed-off in interviews and makes herself seem somewhat dull when in truth there's a lot more to her than she'll allow out.
Howard Stern has really mellowed out in recent years. I guess because he realizes there's no way he could get away with this kind of stuff now.
I think he's genuinely changed. Watch his conversation with Stephen Colbert.
Stern is creepy..
This is the most unlikely artist I would think would ever come on his show.
Wow! The 90s were wild. Imagine this interview in 2024?
Wow, this has to be the most uncomfortable I ever felt watching an interview ever, I feel so bad that she had to put herself trough this, no more words seriously..
He should‘ve been exposed ages ago already..Disgusting!
He doesn‘t deserve to be in the presence of her talent!
There's nothing to expose everyone knows he's like this. It's his schtick
Make sure you don't watch him with Belinda Carlilse, Dana Plato, Pamela Anderson or Anna Nicole then.
She is beautiful
that man is deeply disturbed I feel so sorry that she had to go through that

Beyond a doubt, this is one of many #MeToo moments for Suzzane Vega. I never cared for Howard, but forgot how bad he was before he got big.
Now he’s woke and part of the establishment
What are the others?
made me so uncomfortable
Creppy. Just creppy.
you wanna know what else is creepy? finding an MP3 file of a any audio that's creepy in general.
at least I see the "mother of the MP3" in this video!
can you imagine it being creepier of Leonard Cohen was interviewed by Howard Stern?
Yes, very creppy
Dude, she have a hell f a patience........
Jeepers......Ms. Vega is the absolute salt of the earth. Truly a brilliant light, and as demonstrated here.....massively patient and diplomatic.

She's adorable
I love Suzanne!
this is on-screen sexual harassment.
Lmao I swear this is classic Howard stern
He's disgusting, I would've just walked out. He doesn't know when to stop & I am shocked no one his punched him dead in the face yet.
Drugs are a hell of a drug.
He's done far worse to other women.
Doesn't age well..
At least a face slap
You are great suzanne
Bless her heart!
She is an artist and the dork doesn't get it.
21 people split their slurpees while listening to MP3 files of their favorite songs!
That was clearly before me too
I'm a fan of Suzanne's and I couldn't bear to watch this. How has Stern not been cancelled yet for shit like this?
Lol Stern is so rich and tucked into hollywoods asshole, he is untouchable.
They were friends, lol. She knew what he was about, and she knew what she was getting into going into this interview. Everyone who went to his show knew what was going to happen. Stop trying to find something that's not there
Cancel for what? 😮😮
If this guy was discovered to be a wanted truck stop serial killer it wouldn't surprise one bit.
Wow wow wow WHEN is he gonna ask about music
the comments about black people. oh man
Can anyone repost the Sarah Michelle Gellar and Bryce Dallas Howard interviews?
This guy is so in your face. I think Suzanne did really well considering.
"Tom's Diner - what is that about, a diner?"
It's not really a interview, it's more like a sketch from a drunk guy annoying a girl that's just there to have a drink....terrible.
she looks beautiful, she doesn't let Howard bother her
Question in 4:10 WTH!???
What the fuckk
Nothing short of assault. Suzanne is nothing but amazing and precious and he treats her like dirt. Discustiing.
I am sure Susan vega to this day regrets being on the Howard quak show. If Howard invited her back on sirus she would say no
Suzanne was pretty great here actually...
wow. weird
The same interview, but with Marilyn Manson would have been awesome
im astounded. terrible beyond words
HOWARD STERN IS REALLY WELL BE A JUDGE?
The E! Channel has always been bargain basement trash tv (Stern couldn't get on FOX during there early years but, E! will hire anyone
When I first saw he was going to interview Suzanne Vega I thought 'Oh! He's going to rip her to shreds!' Before the interview when I heard a voice over of her comparing being interviewed by Howard Stern to that of playing a contact sport? I totally understood. They're friends. Strange friends, but friends.
Just mute the video and watch her smile.🙂
Great interview.
Ewww, Howard Stern was making me so uncomfortable the entire time. So incredibly cringe to watch him pressure her to kiss him. But Suzanne is a legend!
I was such a fan of Howard back in the day. But this stuff didn't date very well. More cringy than I remember it.
Me too
cringe almost throughout the whole video
Things like this are required viewing every time someone complains the #MeToo movement goes too far...
Suzanne he just wants to talk about himself and how he was beat up as a child he doesn't need you there you can just get up and go about your day
She must've known that Howard Stern would be totally inappropriate. Lol You don't just go on his show without expecting the treatment.
Classic Stern
what the literal fuck
this interview is terrifying
Creepy
'A bunch of black guys..." haha
She exhibits poise, grace and class in fealing with this awkward treatment in the interview.
Creepy fuck wow!
Creepy bully.
What the f...??? Did she really have to be objectified in such a vile way, on TV, for millions of people to see? Was that ever acceptable? That's plain sexual harassment!
yeah Buddha the chinese guy
Painful
Suzanne I would not have kissed him you don't owe him a kiss you don't owe him anything I wouldn't even have appeared on his show
Suzanne forever, my dream girl. Stern is an asshole.
And Stern criticizes people like Trump for how they act??? ok in this he may have been acting out for ratings so he could live up to his 'shock jock' status but wow, so so so creepy and inappropriate, to the point where I don't think he was acting anymore. Vega is a total pro and handles it well which makes Stern look even more embarrassing.
I would have loved to see the poet and artist Joolz on here. She would batter Howard!
Howard's finger is a Capo. LOL.
God Howard is such a creep
and, why am I the only one talking about the MP3 file format when commenting on this?
I hate this guy. Suzanne handles it impressively.
i miss the 90s when people had fun and no one had to walk on eggshells.
Only Howard was having fun here.
Like many here, I don't really like Howard Stern, but the whole thing is a joke and Suzanne's clearly in on it. She certainly would have known what she was getting into by coming on Stern's show (he was already notorious by 1993) - and she more than holds her own against his 'banter'.

Eastwood's right, most of America has be pussified to the point of absurdity.
Highly doubt that she was "in on it"
@@louisreeve6830She was. They're friends.
the guy is a complete jerk. If i was her i would have run from all that bullshit
The comments on this video remind me of when my parents would try to cover my eyes from anything naughty. Really, for me, all it did in the long run is make it more appealing.
Buddha was born in India, so he problebly wasn't Chinese.
The poor crap such talented people have to put up with to promote themselves......
She is a pearl, but he's so hatefully full of himself! So despicable!
This is the weirdest interview I've ever seen. Hair metal brought a lot of weirdos to the entertainment industry and television. He's the rudest interviewer ever.

Suzanne why didn't you just get up and leave you don't need him
They were friends. Howard was the first major DJ to play her music.
Howard must have a lot of regret
Suzanne the show went to a commercial why don't you just get up and leave go on somebody else's show that doesn't talk about you sexually
Unwatchable....
a very very heavy pork

He sounds like Trump, it's so weird.
jeez, this interview is so embarrassing
What an awful man
He makes ME feel uncomfortable. The interview should be about the interviewee. Instead it's about feeling uncomfortable about Howard.
Super cringeworthy.
What a horrible interview.
Nowadays he does amazing interviews that look nothing like this. These interviews with just him one-on-one were so bad. She handled this well considering how cringe-inducing he was back then.
