I've listened to this a dozen times and it never gets old how Gilbert mocks Belzer, like a brat. Wish I had the chance to see Gilbert long ago when he toured. But I'm grateful for channels like yours.
I know this was uploaded a year ago but seriously thanks for uploading all of these videos. This has greatly helped my annual winter depression and I couldn't be more grateful.
*Eastside Low Bottoms sh*t !* _Tappin' in from South Central LA_ I've heard them do imitations of the Belz so many times. Then to actually hear them all in studio together, it's hilarious. Rest easy Mr. Gottfried 🙏🏾
Also, for anyone interested, the movie Belzer is plugging, Moon over Miami, was released as Off and Running in the US. Its a lean 86 minutes and has no DVD, Blu Ray or streaming.
the whole thing is on RUclips. I watched it years ago because I had a Cyndi Lauper obsession. She always trashed the movie but said she got a great pet cat out of it and a husband.
After I finished 8th grade at age 14 my family went on a vacation to France and Switzerland and it was a great time. We returned on a Thursday and the next morning I heard this show and immediately was so happy to be back home. This was peak stuff, back when Howard used to have comics on all the time and tried to entertain his audience and make us laugh. The show was still great for years after this, but once he went on the air in L.A. and started more celebrity ass kissing and having them as guests over comedians and whack packers things started to decline.
7:54 This is a hilarious line by Gilbert in his Belzer voice about Marion Berry not using drugs and that he was just trying to lose weight 😂😂😂😂 EXTREMELY underrated joke right here!!
@@RS-qo1rb False. He was still on the show after that incident. They just use that as the excuse they sell to the "fans" who still listen to the garbage present day version of the show. Gilbert was banned because Howard wouldn't be able to control him in the p.c. Turk era.
“She hasn’t had a hit in five years.” She didn’t have one in the next five years either. The fact that The Pretenders are in RRHOF is evidence of it’s meaningless.
These guys with the plugs are so annoying. And you know Jackie was BOILING listening to them plug. “How dare they plug over me? This is my show. This is Jackie’s show”
Oh yeah, sure - Just go ahead and make fun of like, the whole social justice movement, babe. Like this isn't a response to the oppression of the Regan administration, yeah, sure, babe.
Why did Belzer (and other comics) hate Dice-Clay so much? Obviously Dice is offensive, but comedians normally give each other license to joke about anything.
@Stranded NYer Yeah, that’s an interesting comparison- there are definitely some parallels . I don’t think the cable guy generated the same unusual moral condemnation that Dice did though. It’s pretty uncool for comics to get offended by anything, but there it was. Maybe Dice was doing something especially egregious in his act that didn’t make it into his comedy specials? Or maybe it had to do with the conservative 80s era he came up in- like maybe it was particularly uncool for artists to portray “sexism” when you’re living through a conservative era.
Dice hosted an episode of SNL in the spring of 1990. A few days beforehand cast regular Nora Dunn held a press conference to say she would refuse to work with him because his act was sexist. That started a trend that went on for months where every "progressive" or "feminist" positioned celebrity dumped on Dice as sexist, homophobic, racist, etc. People talk about "PC" today, but PC had a big run in 1990-92 and that just accelerated the dump on Dice movement. The media would ask basically every celebrity what they thought of him and you knew guys like Belzer were going to say nothing but bad things to raise their progressive flag to the world. "Ford Fairlane" is not a great movie but it has some silly moments. When it was released in the summer of 1990 it got so many 0 Star reviews with critics saying it was the worst and most offensive and disgusting movie ever made. My local paper gave it 0 stars, and that was a paper that had a 1-4 star ranking and had never once given 0 stars before. Dice was killed in the media for a few years and meanwhile a guy like Eddie Murphy, who was way more homophobic by miles, skated by.
@@zorak1997 Nora Dunn articulated what many already thought about Dice. But it's unusual for comics to attack their own. It may have been his meteoric rise as much as his act. I think "Political Correctness" in the US was a mostly impotent reaction against dominant political conservatism beginning in the 80's/90's. In another era, Dice's act could have been tolerated as satire. But in an era of prevailing conservatism, it was too much for Nora Dunn to watch a comedian selling out arenas with sexist jokes, and then star on her show.
@@ghostexits One other matter in regards to the story of Nora Dunn is that this was the next the last episode of the season and her contract had not been renewed, so she was soon to be out of work and this certainly drummed up publicity for her. Also keep in mind that fellow female cast member Victoria Jackson had worked with Dice on a movie and she had no problem appearing with him again. Also keep in mind that in that same SNL season Dunn had appeared with Rob Lowe shortly after his infamous sex tape scandal. You really have to be suspect of her motivations. That said, no matter her motivations there was real fallout. After Dunn did what she did, without first and forming any of her castmates or Lorne Michaels that she was going to hold that press conference, the musical guest that week backed out of the show. Maybe it was Sinead O'Connor?? A few weeks later when Dice went on Arsenio Hall's show to plug Ford Fairlane a female member of the house band refused to be on the stage that night and wouldn't participate in the episode. Dice had been on the show before and she didn't care, but once done laid it out there she probably felt compelled to not appear on the show or be branded as not sticking up for women by the crowds that were gathering around Dice. Dice's deal with Geffen records ended when they dropped him and he had his three picture deal ended. He was an albatross around their necks with the media picking up the story and regurgitating it. Sure there were plenty of females in the media who had to endure crappy behavior from men and they took it out on dice without really considering that the guy was a stand-up comic. The US being in the first wave of political correctness also gave momentum to the cause. Perhaps some comedians didn't like him for his rapid rise, or maybe they didn't like how he was a little more gruff in his persona. Most New York comics of that era have spoken about how they knew the diceman character grew out of a non-stage impersonation of the Nutty Professor turning into John Travolta from Grease. They were probably more jealous that he got a 3 picture movie deal when they thought "I'm funnier!". I think another issue was Dice would go on interviews and say (you could argue it was in character or say he really meant it) that he was the best comic in the world. That probably pissed off other comics more than anything. Even Kinison, who was huge at the time, would never say that and found that repugnant. A guy like Kinison would have hated Dice for his ego, while a guy like Belzer may have been just as motivated by joining the Nora Dunn Train.
Wigward turned his back on Gilbert, did he do the same to Belz? Some of the best Stern ever and I started from the beginning until Artie was fired. I long for the good ol' days. Interesting to hear the very old Stern before he artificially added bass to his voice. I'd always wondered why callers didn't believe it was Stern because the phone didn't have the heavily "padded" voice. Does anyone know if the 2024 Wigward still pretends at about 70 years old he has a thick lush jet black head of natural hair. While I'm on the subject when the gang went to LV I think the AVN awards and they had a planned everyone get drunk show. Throughout the whole show he evinced not one characteristic of even being tipsy. They measured his blood alcohol level at the end it was 0.8 % or 10 times the faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaareakin' legal limit. Certainly approaching if not achieving death due to alcohol poisoning. I'll address his in the closet life some other times. OK a tease, he's like a bulimic girl on his weight clearly obsessed about his scrawny "figure". Like woman.
@@strandednyer7209 haaaa, I can’t remember if I did but he sucked in Scarface. Richard Lewis and Gilbert also sucked. Gilbert would make me change the channel on Howard which never happened.
Went to search for these after I found out Belzer died today. RIP to Gilbert and Richard both.
Oh yea, they both passed away. I forgot about that.
RIP Belz and Gilbert! Two of the finest comics in the Stern universe!
When did belzer die?
3 jews walk into a radio station - jackie martling
These are gold. To me, you cannot get any higher, perfect levels of entertainment than the 90s to the day Artie left.
Agreed.
Couldn't àgree more
Almost nothing makes me laugh but Howard in those eras
100% I only RUclips stern now for the old stuff been a fan since 1989 but I have nothing to do with the newer stuff anymore..unlistenable to me anyway
the last couple years of Artie were pretty garbage if say 93-05ish were the golden years
I've listened to this a dozen times and it never gets old how Gilbert mocks Belzer, like a brat. Wish I had the chance to see Gilbert long ago when he toured. But I'm grateful for channels like yours.

59:23 is one of the greatest moments in Belzer and Gottfried history. The first time I heard this I burst into joint laughter with them
That is one awesome moment
Hilarious
I love this so much, can you please upload the "it was like a western" Gilbert appearance next it's my favorite
I'll do it next.
Once of the best. Cracks me up everytime. "Postapocalyptic westin"
This comment… it was more like a western
1st thing I thought of when Belzer passed away was Gilbert and these interviews on Stern. RIP
"Real estate never goes up" Great investment advice from Wiggy
Howard: "Edgar kinda drove her career into the ground didn't he?" Belz:"Yeah, it was a short drive."
Just realized Belzer was in Scarface.

I wonder what shenanigans Belzer and Gottfried are up to in the afterlife right now.
Thanks for the laughs, Richard. RIP.
Well they can't because of the whole....Reaaaagan administration...lol
Its this whole jooogger trial and this imperialist attitude of the BUSH administration.
RIP Belz and Gillie 🥲
when they played Moms Mabley i almost had a god damn heart attack
I listened to that about a dozen times and died laughing every time
Thank you for uploading this, it was one of my favorites
1:02:56 Gilbert singing is gold
This is a GAP I can fall into every day
...scrutinized with a great deal of scrutiny
7:54 This is a hilarious line by Gilbert in his Belzer voice about Marion Berry not using drugs and that he was just trying to lose weight 😂😂😂😂 EXTREMELY underrated joke right here!!
Gilbert’s Joan impression at 18:44 lmfaoo
belz sounds so unimpressed lol
The hardest I laughed tbh.
Maybe the second best episode.❤
Thank you for this it was absolutely hilarious
REST IN PEACE LEGEND
You have outdone yourself with this one, very hard to top.
Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Sure. Okay. Yeah. Okay.
What is he a polo?
Belz and Gilbert we’re great in this. So happy this got to happen
“Shut up, Gilbert!!” 😂 so, so good.
"Only in the '90s would you hear, 'He chose to be a woman.'"
I love Belz liberal attitude and humor. He was spot on about a lot of stuff. Suck on that.
Ok woketard, no he wasn’t.
So sad that now Belzer is gone.
Listened on 08-04_RB's BDay
I love how the tape 43:38 perfectly matches gilbert's impersonation of a black man, that all he can do is laugh. lmao
What is he even saying? hahaha
RIP Belz.
Killer line, Jackie, killer line!!😂 0:02
I hope Belzer brought a good paper to read up there.
2, 3, 4...
Mama don't leave the light on, I'm gonna roOoOoOoll tonight...
RIP to these 3.
Wow at 10 minutes in Artie Lang's whole character on the show all the time! Genius though cuz Gilbert can run a room!
6:24 Gilbert is the best 🤣
Wig's dig into Belzer for blowing the Hulk Hogan money on a home in France was too good. Must have been passed a line.
59:05 funniest moment in human history
What’s the song?
@@rogeliorobles3057 Its Moms Mabley song name is Abraham, Martin, & John
@@sirloin7633 I keep re-listening to it. I cant fucking breathe
Hilarious. Never stops being funny. RIP gilbert
I entirely agree
Damn, that's a good one

“She hasn’t had a hit in five years.” She didn’t have one in the next five years either. The fact that The Pretenders are in RRHOF is evidence of it’s meaningless.
This might be my favourite episode, although the Belz gets a bit too Belzy at points.
Came here for Belzers eulogy.
Damn.
RIP Belzer
Rip
27:05 "Sure, like they're not storing toxic waste."
Just another example of Gilberts quick wit. This is one of my favorites
These guys with the plugs are so annoying. And you know Jackie was BOILING listening to them plug. “How dare they plug over me? This is my show. This is Jackie’s show”
Belser fits in well with today's screeching blue-haired freaks
Oh yeah, sure - Just go ahead and make fun of like, the whole social justice movement, babe. Like this isn't a response to the oppression of the Regan administration, yeah, sure, babe.
@@TheGottfriedArchiveProject Perfect 😄
For sure a future Biden supporter. Love Gilbert tearing him a new one.
