I loved Jackie, but he really did blow it. 650 K over 20 years ago was big BIG money. Even if he never got another raise, he walked away from over 14 million bucks! Damn, Jackie…
Agreed. The callers back in the 1990's were a big part of the humor on the show. This was before social media, so there were a lot more people listening to Howard. The show lost a lot when people stopped calling because they were busy on facebook and later twitter and instagram.
And yet The Howard Stern Show has plummeted into a sh!tty Zoom Call, ...its even less than a podcast, and the ACTUAL numbers, that Sirius tracks accurately, shows only a few hundred thousand listeners at this point. There are 12 year olds streaming themselves playing video games on Twitch that have more followers. He has absolutely betrayed and excommunicated every person that ever worked with him to make the show what it was. Even Imus is more respectable for the time, and millions of dollars, he spent on charity and to provide for sick children. Howard hasnt given a penny to anyone, and he's a billionaire. He's an A HOLE!
@@lorir5728its not an excuse its a reason. Jackie just really didnt want to come back. The star treatment is what they gave to get him to stay long past when he wanted to quit.
Howard was only ever classy about one person leaving the show, and that was Jackie. Didn't just disappear him... let him leave, busted his balls for the professional reasons, but never really attacked him personally.
The Best Joke Ever came from Jackie. A man walks into a drug store and asks the clerk for a pack of condoms for his daughter. The clerk, a bit perturbed but curious asks the man, “Is your daughter sexually active?” Man says, “No, she just lays there like her Mother.”
it was one of the show's few Sad moments, i.e. Jackie leaving. Those month's with Jackie's status up in the air? Must have bought in tons of revenue. It was gripping. Like losing family.
Exactly, it is pathetic, Stern is boring as F now and so woke. Back then he would roast everyone, now he would be crying "oh please, I am sooooo sorry for what I did, Marci tells me I was wrong".
Up n Comers really need to study the career/example set by Jackie. Millions of stand-up performances. Trying to come up with tapes, shirts, ideas - always working, forever ambitious. Jackie even GETTING the Stern gig belongs in the MBA program up at Columbia U. (kept sending in tapes until Howard relented, listened, liked, saw a spot and opening for Jackie.) A lot of $$$ and time spent at the post office for Mr. Martling. High respect for everyone on the show - beginning with Jackie and John.
Considering what the show has now become and the many people who were loyal to Howard that were dumped from the show, tells me that Jackie made the right move.
The show ended up trash but Jackie walked away from millions over his own insecurities. The show was still excellent for years after this, he could literally have made 20 million or more but for his own ego.
Listening to this but made me really appreciate how good the show got after they replaced John with Richard and Sal. John had nothing to say but was constantly interjecting. Half the time he just repeated something Howard just said.
Yup. Sirius threw in Howard's stations as a bonus the last my subscription was up and it was time to negotiate a deal. I'll still listen from time to time, but Howard is such an asshole. He's turned into everything that he used to hate. He's going to die with more money than god, scared to leave his house.
Howard grew up. Success from his book and movie gave him a taste of mainstream. He became PG rated version of himself. He then moved to satellite and it cost money 💴 to listen. By that point the show was already not edgy as it once was. I got bored of the 3 days and long vacations. I finally left Howard but loved him when was truly a shock jock days.
You clearly do not understand what Jackie was doing. He was not walking away from big money, he thought he would get more by walking away, and he was wrong. This is a negotiating tactic, and it usually works. People on TV shows, athletes, people on radio etc all use this tactic, and as I said most of the time it works. Sometimes though it does not work. One of the more famous times it did not work was when Suzanne Somers tried it on Three's Company. Three's company was the new hit show, and Suzanne Somers was by far the most popular character, so when her new contract came up they offered her a lot of money, but she walked away because she thought she could get more, but instead of giving her more they replaced her with a much cheaper actress. One of the more well known times it worked was when Redd Foxx walked out on Sandford And Son. Redd Foxx was up for a new contract, and at the same time The Jeffersons was a new show, and Sanford And Son was the number one show on the network, but Foxx found out they were paying the Jeffersons cast like 3 times more than him and they had personal dressing rooms, so he quit. They actually replaced him with Grady, and Grady came to live with Lamont, and after like 3 months they submitted and paid him what he wanted and gave the cast their own dressing rooms. Larry Hagman did the same thing on Dallas. Dallas was the most popular show on all of TV, he thought he should be making more money, so he quit. They did an entire season without him, realized he was worth and the show needed him, so they gave him the biggest contract ever on TV so he would come back. The funny part is Hagman said he was getting ready to call them and beg for his job back when they called him and told him they would give his a ton of money to come back. That is what Jackie was doing, he thought he was important enough to the show that they would pay him more, and they did not see it his way. He was clearly important to them, but not important enough to get paid more than they were offering. Howard does pay well. Just Robin, Gary and Fred get paid a combined 20 million per year. Robin gets 10 million, Fred gets 6 million and Gary gets 4 million, which is basically a quarter of the shows entire budget. Howard owns the show, and he pays all the staff, and that money comes from Sirius paying Howard for the rights to play his show.
@@chrisgullett4332 I understand Jackie's ploy and how it flopped; what I'm saying is: If I were Howard and Tom Cheapasano or whoever came to me and said: "We're offering you $20 million this year." I would say: "Oh? That's very interesting, that means you have $20 million to pay in salaries to the HSS. But waut--the HSS isn't just me, it's Robin, Fred, Jackie, and Gary. So why does even Robin, my princess, make $250K, while Fred and Jackie only make $75K, and Baba Booey makes a mere $35K?! Give each of them a million dollars, and I'll take $16 million. I'm actually saving you $435K in salaries if you do it that way!" That would be *my* negotiating tactic. Things obviously changed once they got to Sirius.
@@Nunya_Bidness_53 That is not how it works. The show is the product, and it is owned by Howard. Howard lets Sirius play his show on their platform, and they pay him for that right. That money goes towards the production of the show, paying all salaries including his own and all expenses. Again, Howard is now under contract for 90 million a year, and out of that 90 million he has to pay for everything, and he pays 20 million alone to just three staff members. Robin gets 10 million, Fred gets 6 million and Gary gets 4 million. so after paying them that leaves 70 million to pay for everything else. Howard does not have to take a pay cut, cause everybody gets paid from the same source, which is the money Sirius pays to use the show. Not to mention all the risk is on Howard, who has to pay to fight any lawsuits, pay for any injuries, paid vacations, payroll taxes etc.
@@chrisgullett4332 Yes yes, but that's not how it worked during terrestrial radio days, as I said it changed when they moved to satellite. Previously they negotiated their own contracts because they each were the employee of the broadcasting corporation. I'm just saying I would have negotiated higher pay for my people, since obviously Tom didn't give two shits and a popsicle what Jackie wanted compared to Howard. Instead Howard always said "I don't get into salaries".
Jackie was a bad comic, his popularity and bank account grew due to the show, but he didn't see that, he actually thought he was going to make it on his own. Not happening.
Howard blowing over the $$$$ issue is sad. It’s became common knowledge he’s extremely cheap in regards to salaries. For instance, Gary was making around $40k during most of the show.
What Jackie did was the equivalent of a sports holdout. He thought the show would immediately fall apart and they would beg him back. That was delusional but on brand with his whole passive aggressive attitude. And it was not just the base salary that he gave up, but a fortune in comedy show revenue. The show guaranteed a sell out for the venues he played.
Just goes to show you why team-players get dissed in the end. HS is putting dude down like he never helped him with anything. Jackie should've took the money, but that doesn't excuse the way the turned their backs on him and never brought him back. That's show biz.
Bullshit! Jackie wanted back on the show and it was already to late. Best he could do was get " the joke hunt" on Howard's channel. I heard the Jackie, Billy and John thing several times. It's called Jackie trying to save face. Jackie is the Pete Best of the radio. Greed.
Jackie set nothing straight. He thought he was pulling a power move and it backfired. Howard would have been successful with ANYONE; Jackie thought he was equally part of the success(he said it many times). He was just wrong. There is no record to set straight. Howard has kept a core group of employees together for decades. No one else has done that on radio EVER. Richard, Sal, JD, Will, Jason, Gary, John Hein, Benjy, Fred. The list goes on and on and on. And yet, angry comment after angry comment about how Howard doesn’t take care of people. That is Jackie or Eric level delusion.
@@miketocci the guy who owns the show, is responsible for all the success, is the single most important part of all of it, and is the reason any of the rest of them make anything? Gee how crazy
Everybody knows Jackie made a mistake but maybe he was the smartest one on the show, you think it's easy being around a bleeding heart liberal like Howard, he's two-faced, he's pompous, he's arrogant, he is all the things that he calls Donald Trump including a hypocrite. Howard used to be the man but then, to use his expression, he "jumped the shark". How do you go from butt Bongo Fiesta to bad-mouthing Republicans and trying to convince people to vote his way. And never mind the way she speaks to his audience, these are the people that made him and this is how he talks to us? I guess it just goes to show that all those years when he was making it like the listeners were something they really were not, he was just lying to get his day in the sun which is finally come. Now, with mansions and millions, he can do what he wants, he can say what he wants and he can be the piece of dirt that he is even with tons of listeners canceling their Serious subscription
Jackie shouldn't have turned down the money and I'm sure he regretted it. Still, Stern spent the next two decades badmouthing Jackie like a little girl just like he does everytime anyone voluntarily leaves the show. He got lucky with Artie. Those two guys, Jackie and Artie, were the best parts of the show. Fred's comedy has always been lame and you could always tell what he had written. Fred's stuff was and is always just so incredibly bad, filled with corny puns and bad puppeteering. The show has been on a steady decline since 2010 and is now completely unlistenable. Howard has turned into a shut in shill for the mainstream who needs every word scripted for him by a staff of over fifty unfunny people.
@@moneymarkmontana7052 No, I don't still listen with any regularity. I don't have to listen to hear about the idiotic things Stern says these days in order to know what the show is all about. A few RUclips clips here and there and that's plenty for me. I stopped listening around 2015 or 16.
Howard and the fans for the next year after quitting had to listen to Jackie appearing on various radio programs and various publications such as the New York Post Page six where he would give these BS claims regarding how he quit by saying that he was kicked off. In Jackie's warped mind offering to come back after half a year and it being declined is being kicked out. In his warped mind who cares if Greg Fitzsimmons or Adam carolla just signed to do a week's worth. And other comedians have been signed as well to do a week. Who cares if this show can discover some new people. Who cares if Artie has just signed to be full-time. The show is supposed to go pick him up after he dropped them for a half year? And these BS stories did not stop after a year he would find a new medium to tell these BS stories everywhere he could. If you really thought that Howard and the others in the crew were going to just ignore that going on and not respond you're delusional.
100 percent. Artie got repetitive with all the rehab and heroin. When you listen back to all the stories he told and explanations there all lies. At least you knew Jackie in some way
The only people who should of got more money was probably Riley and ETM. Maybe Beetle, but I don't think beet ever struggled as he has a huge following. Riley besides Elliot and Eric was one of the most entertaining guests. And a decent person. Elliot as much as I love him, is apparently quite a nasty person. And Eric was essentially Howard's last great guest. He should also of been paid quite well. As much as we all love Howard, without the wack pack he would never of been so popular. They lifted him to one of, if not the, greatest radio hosts ever.
King of All Blacks deserved money, too. He shoulda got a million for ripping on Ronnie the Limo Driver alone..... "Is that a Cuban link? That's a Cuban link! Oh, man, come on....."
Now imagine if Howard had kept Jackie, Billy West and had Artie in frequently, ala Gilbert, to tell his stories. The Stern show has been unfunny dogshit since the departure of Jackie & Billy and Artie is one of the best storytellers that ever lived but his joke writing is crap as evidenced by his terrible standup. He never made Howard funny like Jackie did. He was only funny himself in his stories. Now we're bombarded with how Stern is a "great interviewer' as he tongues the fart boxes of the overexposed celebrities he once hilariously mocked (via Jackie's notes and Billy's voices).
Couldn't agree more about Artie. His long-form stories were awesome; the Pig Story is off the charts!! But when he interjected into the conversation... hoofah. He never got the memo that he needed to be inclusive, and every line was about Thurman Munson, The Godfather, or Animal House.... though Caddyshack made an occasional appearance. Just awful. The Jackie and BIlly years are top of the heap!
The roasting at the start of the call was cringe af. That wasn’t even the right accent! Was like, a Hindu accent. But anyway, man…Howard gets sooooo triggered if people say anything - ANYTHING - about Jews.
Jackie was probably tired of listening to this washed up annoying voice of Howard stern! He was probably only a few days away before getting out of there and putting his mouth on his tail pipe! As to not ever have to listen to that clown again😂
The always unfunny Blobin piping in with nothing of importance. I also noticed as soon as E was no more, all the naked woman were gone. That was used simply for ratings. This was the beginning of all the gay stuff on the show. All done to quench Wigs thirst.
The first two minutes of this might be the funniest radio of all time.
Good for you, Sidiqi. Good sport.
Yeah if only Hanzi was the same
When the guys would interact with the callers like this it was pure gold! The callers definitely made a huge contribution to the show on a daily basis
agree, when they were not fake callers that were interns calling in from the back room
I loved Jackie, but he really did blow it. 650 K over 20 years ago was big BIG money. Even if he never got another raise, he walked away from over 14 million bucks! Damn, Jackie…
Agreed. The callers back in the 1990's were a big part of the humor on the show. This was before social media, so there were a lot more people listening to Howard. The show lost a lot when people stopped calling because they were busy on facebook and later twitter and instagram.
The Jackie clown / calliope music still cracks me up.
Sidiqui rules. Just rolled with the punches. Good man.
I went from loving this guy to not able to look at him
Sadeeki got Howard interested, Robin cackling, Fred talking, Artie defensive, John spilling the beans and Gary chewing the fat
Good caller frfr
Nice breakdown
😂 the Indian song is the best
Ba Ba Booey says Artie is "nice and normal." That didn't age well.

Jackie quitting the show is the worst thing that could have ever happened to Artie Lange
Lol I'm not sure what you mean.
@@ocd9033 I mean it gave Artie so much notoriety and money and when you do that with an addict it's never going to go well

Best and Worst. It could have been the best but I think it somehow fucked him up.
@@eliottsmith6908 He has always been an addict.

Howard is the very definition of a face for radio.
The older shows are so much funnier
The Jackie music in the background lol
They offered Jackie $650k. Jackie wanted more. Jackie has not made that kind of money since. Monumental mistake on his part.
And yet The Howard Stern Show has plummeted into a sh!tty Zoom Call, ...its even less than a podcast, and the ACTUAL numbers, that Sirius tracks accurately, shows only a few hundred thousand listeners at this point. There are 12 year olds streaming themselves playing video games on Twitch that have more followers.

Should see what he's up to nowadays
I would listen to the show just to hear Jackie laugh.
Weird
Robin getting censored... damn
Never thought that would happen!
Jackie had issues with drinking and couldn’t handle the schedule. When your quality of life is poor, in my opinion, the money doesn’t matter.
I think those were Jackie's excuses. He wanted more star treatment. He wanted to be equal to howard. That was the problem
The schedule excuse was BS. He started using it when he tried to come back but the offer was off the table. The show died after he left.
Couldn't handle the schedule? He was there for 15 years,lol
it was about the money and nothing more
@@lorir5728its not an excuse its a reason. Jackie just really didnt want to come back. The star treatment is what they gave to get him to stay long past when he wanted to quit.
Awesome. Jackie years were platinum. Artie was gold. Show died when they fired Artie.
Artie was great. I had the HS show 15 years ago on TV. HS show has jumped the shark now.
Jackie years was definitely the best. The Channel 9 show 💯
Howard was only ever classy about one person leaving the show, and that was Jackie. Didn't just disappear him... let him leave, busted his balls for the professional reasons, but never really attacked him personally.
The Best Joke Ever came from Jackie.
A man walks into a drug store and asks the clerk for a pack of condoms for his daughter.

Man says, “No, she just lays there like her Mother.”

Jackie made the group come across as a bunch of close friends and us listeners invited to sit in.
Howard would be apologizing to this guy now for making fun of him back then!
The fact that you see this as a bad thing indicates why Howard is still wildly successful and working regularly and you’re… writing angry comments.

You could study his failure to update his act and downfall as an example, too.
Ironic that stern mentioned the tonight show writing team vs Jackie with stuttering john in the room ...
Jackys soft heart kept him from following Howard into darkness.
Robbin the which on the other hand....
Considering what the show has now become and the many people who were loyal to Howard that were dumped from the show, tells me that Jackie made the right move.
Are you being serious? He could have stayed for 5 years and made over 3 million dollars

Bullshit! Jackie wanted back on the show and it was already to late. Best he could do was get " the joke hunt" on Howard's channel. I heard the Jackie, Billy and John thing several times. It's called Jackie trying to save face. Jackie is the Pete Best of the radio. Greed.
It's amazing that this guy accuses Jackie of being greedy, but is a shill for Stern, one of the most greedy pelicans ever to show his beak.
Jackie set nothing straight. He thought he was pulling a power move and it backfired. Howard would have been successful with ANYONE; Jackie thought he was equally part of the success(he said it many times). He was just wrong. There is no record to set straight. Howard has kept a core group of employees together for decades. No one else has done that on radio EVER. Richard, Sal, JD, Will, Jason, Gary, John Hein, Benjy, Fred. The list goes on and on and on. And yet, angry comment after angry comment about how Howard doesn’t take care of people. That is Jackie or Eric level delusion.
@@miketocci the guy who owns the show, is responsible for all the success, is the single most important part of all of it, and is the reason any of the rest of them make anything?
Gee how crazy
Everybody knows Jackie made a mistake but maybe he was the smartest one on the show, you think it's easy being around a bleeding heart liberal like Howard, he's two-faced, he's pompous, he's arrogant, he is all the things that he calls Donald Trump including a hypocrite. Howard used to be the man but then, to use his expression, he "jumped the shark". How do you go from butt Bongo Fiesta to bad-mouthing Republicans and trying to convince people to vote his way. And never mind the way she speaks to his audience, these are the people that made him and this is how he talks to us? I guess it just goes to show that all those years when he was making it like the listeners were something they really were not, he was just lying to get his day in the sun which is finally come. Now, with mansions and millions, he can do what he wants, he can say what he wants and he can be the piece of dirt that he is even with tons of listeners canceling their Serious subscription
I think that Howard Stern, or however his name is , is really unfinished job of one German guy with blue eye and mustache
The hole, the woman on the show, is ridiculously useless, no character, no contribution. It’s painful to listen.
The show became horrible after Jackie (and billy) left
And now….it’s a total borefest…unlistenable for a long time now….
Jackie shouldn't have turned down the money and I'm sure he regretted it. Still, Stern spent the next two decades badmouthing Jackie like a little girl just like he does everytime anyone voluntarily leaves the show. He got lucky with Artie. Those two guys, Jackie and Artie, were the best parts of the show. Fred's comedy has always been lame and you could always tell what he had written. Fred's stuff was and is always just so incredibly bad, filled with corny puns and bad puppeteering. The show has been on a steady decline since 2010 and is now completely unlistenable. Howard has turned into a shut in shill for the mainstream who needs every word scripted for him by a staff of over fifty unfunny people.
You still listen
Stern talks about Jackie once every few years
@@moneymarkmontana7052 No, I don't still listen with any regularity. I don't have to listen to hear about the idiotic things Stern says these days in order to know what the show is all about. A few RUclips clips here and there and that's plenty for me. I stopped listening around 2015 or 16.
The show could not be worse now. And Jackie was the head writer.
Howard and the fans for the next year after quitting had to listen to Jackie appearing on various radio programs and various publications such as the New York Post Page six where he would give these BS claims regarding how he quit by saying that he was kicked off. In Jackie's warped mind offering to come back after half a year and it being declined is being kicked out. In his warped mind who cares if Greg Fitzsimmons or Adam carolla just signed to do a week's worth. And other comedians have been signed as well to do a week. Who cares if this show can discover some new people. Who cares if Artie has just signed to be full-time. The show is supposed to go pick him up after he dropped them for a half year? And these BS stories did not stop after a year he would find a new medium to tell these BS stories everywhere he could. If you really thought that Howard and the others in the crew were going to just ignore that going on and not respond you're delusional.
Did Jackie really lose out? Look what Howie has turned into.
If there's anything more headache inducing than listening to Robin imitating Jackie I don't know what it is and I hope to never hear it
5:29 LMAO
Howard could have spoke up for Jackie and he would’ve gotten his raise
Howard sucks love Jackie
The Darkening
Nancy completely sabotaged Jackie's career, then left him because of it.
is this playing through a tin can?
F-Timmy the cat. That’s all…
When Jackie walked away the show began its ugly descent.
the show was NOT better with artie....the jackie years were the golden years...
Amen to that!
100 percent. Artie got repetitive with all the rehab and heroin. When you listen back to all the stories he told and explanations there all lies. At least you knew Jackie in some way
100%
Yes, Jackie & Billy West era was Prime Stern
@@MrBronx61 you actually got up early to listen to those guys...
To me. The Jackie years are unlistenable. Between the hacky humor and his stupid laugh. The Artie years were the pinnacle of stern glory
100%
The only people who should of got more money was probably Riley and ETM. Maybe Beetle, but I don't think beet ever struggled as he has a huge following. Riley besides Elliot and Eric was one of the most entertaining guests. And a decent person. Elliot as much as I love him, is apparently quite a nasty person. And Eric was essentially Howard's last great guest. He should also of been paid quite well. As much as we all love Howard, without the wack pack he would never of been so popular. They lifted him to one of, if not the, greatest radio hosts ever.
King of All Blacks deserved money, too. He shoulda got a million for ripping on Ronnie the Limo Driver alone..... "Is that a Cuban link? That's a Cuban link! Oh, man, come on....."
@@jamesknightley4201 What about big black lol he deserves a job with his education
Now imagine if Howard had kept Jackie, Billy West and had Artie in frequently, ala Gilbert, to tell his stories. The Stern show has been unfunny dogshit since the departure of Jackie & Billy and Artie is one of the best storytellers that ever lived but his joke writing is crap as evidenced by his terrible standup. He never made Howard funny like Jackie did. He was only funny himself in his stories. Now we're bombarded with how Stern is a "great interviewer' as he tongues the fart boxes of the overexposed celebrities he once hilariously mocked (via Jackie's notes and Billy's voices).
Couldn't agree more about Artie. His long-form stories were awesome; the Pig Story is off the charts!! But when he interjected into the conversation... hoofah. He never got the memo that he needed to be inclusive, and every line was about Thurman Munson, The Godfather, or Animal House.... though Caddyshack made an occasional appearance. Just awful. The Jackie and BIlly years are top of the heap!
This is so racist... Yet Howard is Jewish
The roasting at the start of the call was cringe af. That wasn’t even the right accent! Was like, a Hindu accent. But anyway, man…Howard gets sooooo triggered if people say anything - ANYTHING - about Jews.
Stuttering john has never been funny. Ever.
God I’m glad they stopped this trash.
Jackie was probably tired of listening to this washed up annoying voice of Howard stern! He was probably only a few days away before getting out of there and putting his mouth on his tail pipe! As to not ever have to listen to that clown again😂
why are they doing an indian accent for a saudi arabian.. turbin?? artie the hack..🙄😒🤦♂️
The always unfunny Blobin piping in with nothing of importance.
I also noticed as soon as E was no more, all the naked woman were gone. That was used simply for ratings. This was the beginning of all the gay stuff on the show. All done to quench Wigs thirst.
