When Howard told Ellen DeGeneres that he looked forward to her dancing segment on her show I knew it was time to pull the plug. And I did.
That was a pivotal moment where we knew the king was dead and he was now one of “them”.
🤣😂😂😂😂 Same here. I removed him off of my Sirius subscription.
Good call
Zombiefied.
I purchased a subscription to Sirius for Howard Stern and I canceled my subscription because of Howard Stern.
Marci Turk is the motorcycle that Howard rode to jump the shark.
Hit ‘em with the Heiiiiiiiiin!!!
That's the best way of putting it. People always want to blame it all on Marci. She's just doing what Howard is telling her to do. He always hated being the bad guy and have to police everyone. People want to believe Howard got brainwashed and he's a victim and Marcis the villain. People can't accept this is the real howard
Water skis 🤓
well said...and ellen
You have to get Scott Salem! He has a ton to say!
Hey Scott!
Heyyooo
He had to sign an NDA as part of his severance package. Not sure how much he can say.
I wonder what he's up to as well.
Talk to Opie about his interactions with Howard.
The name “Marci Turk” will forever be linked to the downfall of the greatest radio show in history.
That’s what Howard wants. He’s using her as a scapegoat for what he initially wants. You think he would let some chick do this to his show that he worked at his entire career unless he was 100% on board?
Agreed BUT Marci doesn't have and never had autonomy to do as she pleases. She's simply one of Howard's minions who follows instructions. She didn't change Howard. Money and fame changed him. Marci just did what Howard paid her to do.
@@topspot4834 MOney and fame changed him? He always had that...Yeah couldnt possibly have anything to do with the ever growing landscape of the world changing as to not finding what some of the stuff he was doing to be acceptable anymore.
@@erics8524 checks out I'm sure.
@@owenrock69 geek
Howard used Marci as the "bad guy". He knew exactly what he was doing.
Ok youtube detective
@@2000jago I will double your pleasure then. Marci is a result of hurricane Sandy.
Brian Phelan lived next to my Mom in Hicksville for several years. Such a nice guy! Loved his Basset Hound!!
That’s awesome! I always love hearing stuff like this
Is it true that he gives the best cuddles? lol
It seems like he uses Marci as a mechanism to do the things he really always wanted to do, but didn't have the balls to do in person. Howard always had a disdain and disregard for his staff on the air, and played nice in person. The radio guy is the real guy, and now he has a hitman in Marci to treat the staff the way he always wanted to. It's pretty obvious.
Agree 100%. Marci deserves some blame but the fact fans blame her more than Howard for the show sucking are hilarious. This is what Howard always wanted
As a former fan of the show for a long time, Howard always wanted Gary to fulfill Marci’s role for years, but because he emasculated Gary so much and needed him for on air fodder, he was never able to do it. I also don’t believe Gary has that type of leadership ability to do it anyway.
I say Artie called it like it is....the way it played out but at the core it’s Howard was always a fake...
@@rustymertz As if you know Gary or anything that he does and the responsibilities that he has? The guy makes more than you or anyone that you know EVER will. Do you really think that Howard keeps him around because he feels sorry for him?
He's way worse off the air
Howard definitely got Hollywood. For example in the 90s he had celebrities openly hate him, but now with Sirius backing he has A list celebrities as friends.
He's getting to be almost 70. You lose a lot of the hate when you get older (I'm pretty old myself). He talked about wanting to do his dream interviews before his career ends, and people hate him for it because the celebrities don't hate him anymore. There comes a time when the anger isn't productive anymore, and you realize it never really was. Interesting to listen to on the radio, but carrying all that hate weighs on a man.
He has always wanted to be Hollywood, but wasn't accepted. That is why he slammed them. They were like the "cool kids" at school spurning him, but he wanted to be in with that crowd. No surprise at all
@@azmoe99 Exactly. He's always been a fraud. He's at the cool kids table now and barely anyone wants to sit at his table. Which is fine for him because he wants no one there.
I learned absolutely nothing about Marci Turk.
I could pull up Marci's wikipedia if ye want.
No but the guy’s getting good interviews, so let’s give him some props.
Agreed! Fooled by the clip bait! Shame on them! Unsubscribe
Yep lol took the words outta my mouth
This was a hard hitting piece...Dear Jesus.
Howard Stern’s Golden Years were from 1989-2000. After Jackie and Billy West left, it started declining. Artie came aboard and breathed life back into the show. After he left, that was the end. I am forever grateful to Howard for all the good years pre 2011. I was a listener since the days of WNBC when I was in Grade school. I wish he would sell a subscription to all his old stuff. I bet he’d make a boat load of money.
totally agree!!!
Yeah he has had a station that plays all the old stuff since day 1 at serius
That’s what channel 101 is for. That’s all they do is played old clips
I wouldgive him up to the first day on Sattelite..I listened on 9/11 and he did great giving the emotions of sverage people..but we heard every day how the show would take off on sattelite..they'll say anything and do anything..then he gets on satellite and he became more restrained
The 101 content is heavily edited. It won't play any old stuff that would put him in a bad light, possibly get him cancelled or embarrass any of his Hollywood buddies. Yer never gonna hear any Kinnison or stuttering John bits from the 90s. You know, the stuff that made him famous in the first place.
I am seriously considering penning a book on how Sterns entire evolution was the canary in the coal mine for the loss of the freedom of speech in all forms of media we all enjoyed in the late 90s.
I'd buy that
Me too
Me three.
His need to leave terrestrial radio because of George bush Jr and Colin Powell's kid showed us that.
…and how it came full circle with Howard selling out for AGT and his inclusion in the pro-censorship elite pantheon.
My son is 12. We don't have Sirius. I havent listened to stern in years. I listened to howard for 25 years. Didn't listen since i had my son. Somehow, i am assumimg through instagram? My son knows who Beetlejuice is. Its crazy. Anyway, i showed him a picture of me and my friend with Beetlejuice, we were 27 maybe... it was from a concert, my son was freaking out.. he snap chatted it to his friends, he thought it was great. Beet is still going strong ! Who, me?
I have so many questions on why a twelve year old would know beet.... but I’ll never check back so whatever.
@@oz6909 hahaha... well that's the beauty of it, you will get a notification about your comment... anyway. I have no idea how beetlejuice made his way into my sons Instagram feed. Maybe because my son followed some athlete, or rapper, or a popular youtuber. Beet seems to be pretty popular. My son's friends know who he is also. It's crazy.
yes, the young kids know who beetlejuice is.. it's fucking great.
@@denisemarie7991 beet is actually famous on Instagram and memes. That’s probably where your son knows him from
@@denisemarie7991 I think he is bad as can on Tic tock
Stern a real stand up guy. Shafts his employees just like big business
Get Lisa G.and Scott Einziger.
Or Scott the engineer. You know he wouldn't bite his tongue on the complaining
@@robbone4 Scott the engineer has signed a non-disclosure agreement. You won't get anything out of him other than the fact that he doesn't work for Howard anymore
@@leir2005 Now that I think of it, isn't he still employed by Sirius? Just not on the Stern show? Lisa G would be a good one.
Those two would be interesting ,
What ever happened to Lisa G ?
I’m glad Beet is doing well and at home with his family. He’s a nice guy and deserve the best
Hes as bad as can…..
And he knows hes the best….
And you know “he’s the best”
He’s big and he’s strong
You’ve said it all
Scott The Engineer being fired was really shocking. Honestly, between the push up's and anal for $250. Some of the best moments ever and just fired like it was nothing. After 30 years.
Yeah that sucked a lot. I feel bad for him but thats what happens with any company, best to always remember you can be replaced. thinking of your co-workers as a family is never going to end well. Business is tough but howard kept him for probably longer than he should have.
@@uggggggghhhhh incredibly stupid response
@@brucedavid7231 I literally agreed with you. Welcome to the real world, you will be replaced. Its business, not personal.
@@uggggggghhhhh just keep making music in your cousins apartment. You’ll be fine.. you know nothing about business lol
@@brucedavid7231 apparently neither do you if you seriously believe you cant be fired just cause youve been at a ocmpany for a long time
Please get Scott the Engineer on.
Scott's price has gone up - before you could get Scott for about 2K - now
his agents are asking $ 20,000.00. For a five minute PHONE interview.
@@josephkelley8641 damn lol. Where did you hear he charges for interviews?
Scott salem sucks. I feel bad with his wife's passing but he sucked at his job and is black cloud.
You only think he sucked cuz Howard said so lol
@@firedrum71 he was always messing up and was always miserable. He never had an interesting story. Top three of least favorite people on the show.
Love the Beet. I really hope he lives a long happy life. Hes literally a national treasure!
Cooo be
Dominic shits in Beet's pants
Ya gotta get Artie on the show!
Brian seems like a genuinely nice guy
I’ve been listening to HS since kindergarten. Yes, I would get ready for school while listening. The Artie era was the absolute best. I miss the old show. I really do
You need to fix the volume differences from clip to clip. Goes from quiet phalen to loud Jim. I have to keep adjusting the volume.
The 3 Scott's (DePace, Einziger & Salem), Lisa G, Robin Radzinski, Chauncy Hayden, Crazy Cabbie, Gary Garver, Mutt (SFN), Jessica Hahn, Amy Lynn, Sandy Taylor, Savanna Samson,...
Beetlejuice would be your biggest guest by far!!!!!
Who me?
I don’t think so pal
@@levihill9052 who is bigger? Stern show wise? That he has had on?
@@bigcav925 have you ever watched beetle juice... lol that’s one of his sayings....
@@levihill9052 👍didn’t catch that my bad, bad mood beets
Bob Levy looks like a hostage with that cam quality
"I'm not here to stir anything up" That gave me a good laugh!
Doing firing on air is cold. So messed up. I believe in change. Everything evolves.... but like what happened with Scotts wife. Just cold.
I don't pardon Marci for anything, but she isn't to blame for the show ending. Howard is. He changed. It's really simple as that. Marci is the cough and Howard changing is the cold. She is just a symptom of what really is/was going on. The show as we loved it ended before Marci, maybe when Howard started talking about Dancing With The Stars and American Idol, stuff Jackie would cough (f)(aggot) at. Artie and the wack pack were the last vestiges of what the show once was and actually held the show together.
Hurricane Sandy happened. Bababoey told Howard trampolines were more important than the show. Only Jason and shuli said Howard could count on them. Marci was in charge by the end of the year.
You aren't missed trust me. Haters are never missed. Howard grew up. Time for you to do the same
@@clarkkimber5427thank you sir
As Artie said: “she’s a cvntt that kills comedy”
Did they all sign a non disclosure?? Kinda seems like they aren't speaking full truths...yes SCOTTTTTTTTTT!!! Would love a TRUTHFUL interview with him tho and I'm Super Excited for King Beet!!
Knowing Howard I would be surprised if they didn't sign them.
who me!
Levy is insane. Those dark shark eyes lol
These compilations are great!! Keep em comin
Brent Hately was Bubba the Love Sponges producer / co host for years.
Its funny how Brent got to directly work with Howard for years and Bubba well is Bubba .
Wow was searching for exactly this. Thanks sir
Don't you love this. When your exact search item comes up?
.
@@josephkelley8641 yep miss the days before u tube made changes.
Subscribed.....these mini compilations are great
they really are - thank you @ "stweekly."
Nah
Omg scott the engineer would blow all of the stern show up on truth bombs I hope u get hi..
Long after he's gone - they'll still be talking about Howard.
Always amazed by the Talent that Howard surrounded-the-show-with.
...beginning with "the Big Four," i.e. 'Fred Gary Robin' - in alph order.
They paid dues upon dues upon dues -
Brian Phelan is a man's-man and a gentleman, professional.
agreed.
Yes he most definitely is Brian is the Best
Word.
It’s crazy everyone who used to work for Howard hates him now. He just spent so many years goofing and hating on the celebrity elites and made it seem like he wanted nothing to do with them snd hated their character but really he just hated the fact that he wasn’t accepted into that group. Now that he is accepted by those fake weirdos he completely shit on everyone who came up with him as if they are just peons snd his the almighty king. As soon as Gary finally retires or just isn’t working with him anymore you’ll hear how he really feels too along with Fred and possibly robin. Robin always followed Howard with whatever agenda he was pushing but she also seems like she doesn’t put up with the bullshit. I’m sure she doesn’t agree with the way he is now either.
U know what they say...Alot of truth is said in jest.
I am glad someone is checking in with the people that made my morning drives better. It's also cool the host is from St. Louis.
Howard tv was so ahead of it’s time. The show would be immense today if it had the same essence it had back in 2006-2009 especially with all the woke garbage today it would stand out and say stop being a wuss. Like Chapelle he isn’t afraid of these Twitter warriors and woke garbage. Howard was always that way too but she made him soft. I’m sure the fear of Howard tv content had Marci Turk whiting herself the. turned everything PC and woke. Really a tragedy because that show had something you could not find anywhere else.
It’s sickening how this “woke” bullshit took over.
He was always a liberal scumbag.
It's no longer jump the shark, it's you've been marci turked
Love this channel! Great to hear from ex staff members.
Dude, you SERIOUSLY need to Normalize the audio on clip shows like this, I had to keep adjusting the volume EVERY time you cut to a new clip!
For real
I thought you were Norm Macdonald when I saw this video at first
Never imagined I would cancel howard but couple months ago I did. Show is nothing but watered down interviews
After hearing Shuli's interview, I would love to hear what really happened at that Christmas party with Scott the Engineer...
What happened?
Brent's downfall was the jackhammer
Hahahahahaha indeed.
If I were Scott Salem and when his NDA is done with HSS and its affiliates I would do A Tell All Book and/ or Behind the Scene or Unauthorized Biography of HSS. I bet you it will be juicy and riveting to at least HSS fans and listeners. It will sell like hotcakes.
Who cares about Scott?
@@cocopucks the guy you're replying to
Bob Levy really shines through as a one-of-a-kind genius here
Love the content man. Just work on being succinct in asking questions and I think you have an amazing show on your hands.
The thing was, the free for all made the show feel so much more organic. It's so stale now.
This whole 23 min compilation was worth it just to hear one more Tim Sabienism tossed out there “ it’s not how many times you get knocked back down it’s how many times you get back up” Gold Tim.
If they’re created by man they can be solved by man.
Manager speak!😂 but I would enjoy working with and for TIm
@@STWEEKLY oh gd right: Tim can perform a Green-Drink Enriched explosive diarrhea shit on the employee bathroom any day my friend 👍🏻
Thank you for these mini comps as I have trouble finding the time to listen to each and every interview
Dang I thought it was before and after pics in the thumbnail lol
lol i know
Quite an astonishing heist - probably the most audacious since the Iraq war: how Marci Turk radically transformed one of the most successful, dynamic, hilarious and exciting radio formats of all time and turned into one of the most insipid, anodyne, and frankly dull shows ever(despite the odd Beetlejuice reference, which piques ones interest - he never gets old) shows ever, AND how Stern still walks away with 120 million dollars per year. And I bet Marci sees some of that. And I can hear Stern ranting about how fans can fuck off if they don't like what his show has become, but I still find it unfathomable that presumably with every listener now having switched (what is there to listen to but a near-septagenarian spewing banal doggerel in his basement, without even an echo of the charm, dynamism or wit that made him so compelling and brilliant for so long. Even the wrap-up show was amazing entertainment and sometimes as good as the main show till the needlessly destroyed that and reduced it to just Gary and Jon Hein cos the main core of the Stern show has been gutted, they can't have the wrap up show potentially being as interesting, with all the tension it used to inflame, that they could then use on the Stern show the next day. And I'm giving him major props here - it's testament to how amazing his show was, that now it feels SO lame. Fuck Marci Turk. Life might be easier for Howard, but it's abject for the audience. I guess he doesn't care, and Sirius just like keeping him on for the brand recognition. But 120 million for brand recognition and no listeners is quite remarkable. That Marci Turk pulled off an impossible heist!
PS Will be great if this interviewer speaks to Bobby Rooney, or indeed Bobby with the great Beet1
Uhh, is anybody else talking about how much this guy looks like Norm Macdonald?
No. Because he doesn't.
Howard is free to do whatever he wants. Just like I'm free to never listen to his horrible show any longer. I literally stopped when Howard TV went away. It's a shame what happened. I would have thought at one point there would have been parades when he retired. Now I don't think anyone will even notice or care.
New flash, nothing opened up in 2021 🤣
It was the "Howard Stern SHOW". The "show" has been removed. The people who made the show and enabled his enormous success are all disposable to him. He's a sad man.
Thanks for the interviews. I was a huge fan of the Howard Stern show from 1994 until 2013. After that it was unwatchable (there was no more in studio video). It really became unwatchable from late 2011 (when Howard signed on to AGT) and onward and unbearable from mid 2012 (when Howard met Marci). After Howard hired a good part of the staff in late 2013 (because of Marci) I bailed. Howard really lost his edge when he met Beth (around 2000). The show was still hilarious until KC and Stuttering John Left (around 2004). 2005 was a write off because Howard focused on leaving KROC to go to Sirius. Unlike most, I think Artie was a disaster from early 2006 to late 2009. When he was fired the show was still okay for another 2 years.
And since then the show has sucked. Great.
sux we all loved stern and we all hate what he has turned into...hes a great tale to tell people dont sell your soul.
I canceled my subscription to Sirius because the stern show became political, sad and depressing. It belongs being broadcast from his dark basement
Good Howard is happy you are gone.
@PATRICK MAHOMES MVP 2020-2030 ............. Trump snowflakes can't handle anything negative said about their master. So lame.
It's all funny until Howard makes fun of something personal, with some "fans."
In he words of Artie Lange....."WAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH Howard is being mean to Trump!" :)
@@Musicsports The show was always political.
Hey now!! 🤟🏻You’re content is so great! You really do get it man, we speak your name!!! Keep it up brother!
Well glad to see Bob Levy hasn't changed at all lol
The only thing nobody talked about was Marci.
Something tells me regardless of Tim's personal issues he was probably on the way out anyway.
Tim Sabean is absolutely correct.
Well the beetle prediction/reporting was correct- nice job
I knew that Brian guy looked familiar.....I remember him from those shows they did where they all got drunk on air. Brian had a beard back then.
You and Phalen look like brothers lol. Good channel dude 👍
I love this sponsor
No boloney in the canneloni
Headphones were not made for Brent’s head.
how do i get on this show i was the 1st wack pack member i was known as the caller 1984-1991 over 220 appearances im glensroom please help me get on this show
Tell me more!!!
@@STWEEKLY hi thanks for seeing my comment,i was the 1st wack packer from 1984 till 1991i brought hookers to the studio twice and i drove a limo at that time and told howard who was cheap or not how can i talk directly to u ,the only way seem to be this comment,i have all my 220 apprentices on tape and i can play them for you my name is glen but i was the caller on howards show,please tell me how we can talk thanks glen
Gange is wrong. Howard would NOT have been as much of a success of he didn't bring the cast of characters on the show that he did. No one of them made him, but if you take out ALL of them? Howard would be just another Morning Zoo
He was constantly looking for his “Marci” dating back to early 90s during legendary Gary/Howard fights, Howard would constantly say that Gary was too big of a star since Howard brought him on the air and he wanted to hire a “Hitler” who wasn’t on-air and would be his axe man
Of course Bob Levy is sitting in the darkest, sketchiest, rapiest looking room. I can’t even imagine how grim that scene must be nowadays...oy...
Levy was not on 6mg of xanax and it can only make you calm. It will never make you do anything but fall asleep. He is a complete liar.
Getting Scott would be awesome. But I don’t think he’s allowed to say anything until after a certain amount of time.
Honestly, the opinion and info I trust the most is Brian Phelan. He seems the most real. He doesn’t have any issues. He still occasionally emails Howard back and forth. He just seems like such a cool dude.
I got Sirius because of Howard and got rid of it because of Howard.
Doug sent me a bunch of HTV goodies during their last month. He’s an awesome dude. It’s a damned shame how all of that went down.
If only all of us had seen the Pelican brief back in 2013
Lol, Florentine scared to death to say anything bad....hey jim it's ok to constructively criticize. You know damn well the show is a joke anymore
Far too many ads for the length of this video. Is Marci Turk working for RUclips too now?
Artie leaving was the beginning of the end.
Yes it waa
100%
I miss Howard ripping Gange's blog. That s*it was so funny I would almost crash my car
This is like getting mad at HR instead of your boss who made the decision to FIRED you and make you more miserable at work. Howard called the shots, not marci.
What happened to Bubba? When did Brent leave his show and go to Howard's?
Also im amazed beetle is still alive.
Unfortunately Howard is the kind of guy that makes people stereotype Jews. Selfish, self absorbed, greedy, doesn't pay people well, doesn't treat people well. Then he changes his whole personality on a dime, so superficial, and fake on top of everything. Now, very political, boring, un-listenable. I keep meaning to cancel my subscription, even music sucks on that network
These are great! Thanks!
I had to sign off, boring. Howard’s dead the show is dead, let it go.
Gange looks like shuli hahaha
I thought it was Schuli ! That’s why I clicked on it ! Lol
Me too,twins
Jimmy is a cool dude and humble.
Howard did some amazing comedy and accomplished some incredible things over the years, but you can't be 30 and angry forever; at some point your brand grows or it's gone. This is how you build a media empire. You need to take stock, level up, and get rid of anyone who cant take the ride. That's business.
I don't agree with this at all because his show was basically the same when he was in his early and mid 50's still. And he already had the media empire by then and was set for life financially. It was toned down maybe a little but still very funny. You can evolve a bit and tone down a bit of the raunchiness and still maintain your sense of humor and what you stand for.
Howard was on the radio for so long that people felt like he was the real deal. Now his show hasn't evolved but turned into what he once mocked and despised. A complete 360. And it isn't more popular than it was 20 years ago its much less popular despite his enormous salary. SiriusXM just doesn't have any other big names to use as their flagship attraction.
I know what the best items are. I used to ride the Comet back in the day. Bought it from George in Pawtucket.
Bizarre that some derivative of this convo would have HAD take place at one point:
--"HOWARD we are gonna MEMORY-HOLE portions of your back-catalogue"
[How much]
--ONLY EVERYTHING....everything you've done for the past QUARTER CENTURY"
Stern wanted to change his staff so he brought in Marci for help. Marci is just a messenger
Yeah, I mean Stern is his own person and has always done things the way he wants them done. She's just a tool. The idea that one human "changed" another human (assuming competence) is just ridiculous.
Marci Turk’s approach didn’t consider Howard’s persona and base . I think at some point they just said , let’s be a Barbara Walters type show
They really messed up the mojo.
I've always thought Howard and Trump are very much alike, for both of them they're only as loyal as you are useful to them
Brent is completely useless, he said NOTHING
Why burn bridges!! And he’s no fool!! Professional suicide ain’t his game! The Stern show is a huge bridge and he’d get caught in the flames!! Always enjoyed Brent on air!!
He's completely useless, cuz he didn't say anything that you found entertaining? Damn. Good thing they're not in charge of your good time.
@@Seemsayin No, stupid. He's useless because he used words but he DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING.
Of course the Howard tv guys didn't find out that they didn't have a job anymore at the last minute. It's like Howard retiring, he's always gotta make a big announcement outta it at the last minute. If I were his employees, I'd be on eggshells the last year of his contact. Would it be too much to ask him to give his employees heads up that the company they work for is fixing to end???.
