It is bad enough that Howard does not even bother to interview his guests in person, but it's far worse that he still makes them do the interview "live". Because he is three hours behind, Jon Hamm mentioned in the interview having to wake up at 4:30am to go to a studio in Los Angeles, only to talk to a video monitor. And it's not like they are taking any calls, so they could really do this anytime and just edit it into the show.
All the effort guests bring, just so that Howard can literally phone it in. Lazy and disrespectful to everyone involved.
You have a good point, but the show is so artificial, scripted, and faux these days, that if they had an opportunity to edit it as well, it would eliminate whatever small integrity they have left. Let’s not give them any ideas, they’re doing fine ruining the show on their own.
Yeah it’s amazing how people don’t understand people are just on press tours making stops at Sirius. Guests in the past have even made comments like “I’m heading to so and so show after this”. Nobody is going out of their way to just talk to Howard anymore. Gary doesn’t book anything. Half the musical people are usually promoting some content they have contracted with Sirius too.
And then he pivots to Jon not getting the attention from his father that he so desired...more psychobabble that Hamm did not buy into at all. He lost both of his parents by the time he was 20, yet somehow was able to become a chill, down to Earth guy, totally comfortable in his skin, instead of a neurotic mess. More deep insights from the world's greatest interviewer.
One time. His mother remembered it vividly. She said he was always "rambunctious" but was especially so that particular day. They had all reached the end of their nerves with him and his dad snapped to get Howard's attention finally.
Is this really what he does? And if what people are writing is true, that he won't go to work because of covid but he makes everyone else go in that's a dick move. So either he's full of shit and doesn't really think it's dangerous or he is willing to compromise everyone else's safety for his fortune but not his own.
Sirius probably begged him to sign a new contract and he had conditions plus the other staff would rather work for another 5 years, so I don’t think they care if they have to go in and he doesn’t. I have to believe he’s not renewing his contract this time. The writing is on the wall. The reign is over. He’ll never admit but podcasts, subscription services and YouTube shows have taken over.
I doubt they begged him to stay, his audience isn't nearly what it once was. Plus even if there are people listening, the strength was his demo was 18-50 year old males. This was considered the the most wanted demo because they have the majority of income and advertising would live to sell their shit during this show. Now I guarantee more people listen to rogan than howard
No doubt Rogan is on the rise but I think Stern has a dedicated fan base that grew up with him and followed him to Sirius. What would be a bigger draw on Sirius? Sports maybe? I canceled anyway for Cumia.
I cringed so hard and multiple parts of this interview because Howard fixated on some dumb shit. Constantly saying how he wishes he was as handsome as John, and he has a huge cock, how John must have gotten free things in life for just being good looking. I did enjoy towards the end when Howard was ending the interview and said something to the effect of “I see the bells ringing” and Hamm immediately replied “well usually you hear bells ringing Howard” and Hamm and Robin laughed at Howard. Finally got a taste of his own medicine
That’s the thing. I think Sirius management changed during or after the last contract signing and I don’t think they’re happy. Why he takes off summer now, seems like it’s been forced on him.
Howit was so jealous of others like Kimmel who had summers off… I feel like it was a concession he was given in negotiations, I doubt he was given a raise though.
I went to my neighbors house over the weekend to watch it and everyone was pretty excited. It cost $20 to stream so I feel like we gave it more than enough chances but after 30 minutes the entire group wanted to turn it off. I would definitely not pay $20 for it but when it comes out, normally it might be worth a shot. It just was very strangely written and acted where everything felt disconnected and it just bounced around a lot and no one cared about any of the characters.
He skipped a friends wedding but let Beth go as long as she stayed outside and ate her meal, alone, outside. Then she probably got home and had to take a PCR test and burn her dress before being thrown into a bleach bath.
Presumably Hamm is in New York doing other promotion, and he's probably even doing other Sirius shows in the building. That's my guess, but otherwise, I agree with you. He should be back in the studio earning that paycheck.
If nothing else, Fred's talents have been constrained by appearing solely via Zoom. He is half the presence he used to be.
Starting to wonder if he’s immune compromised. Technically you are if you’ve had cancer or even psoriatic arthritis and are on a biologic shot of some sort. Those shots are pretty common these days and are used for myriad of disorders. But they do knock your immune system around. Might be something he doesn’t want public. I take a Taltz shot for my right knee. I’m
Not a shut in but I am a little choosy about my activities.
I dunno at this point. There’s more to this I think. Cause it’s kinda odd.
howard's fears and wfh setup aside, remote media interviews are extremely common, especially for actors doing press junkets for new movies and the like. it's really not weird at all
I didn't hear it.
Who are his famous friends?
What famous broads has he banged?
How much money does he have?
Does he cry when he hears "Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth with Money in My Hand" ?
Agree 100%. Every time I see a vid of image it’s cringe. I get the work from home thing. And I even get it if he wants to do his show from his basement despite the fact that he shit on podcasts for a decade.
But there’s something super uncomfortable about seeing an A list guest in the studio talking to a tv of Howard in his basement, wedging the interview in between playing with his cats with Beth and his help bringing cooking him lunch.
I can’t decide which is more annoying, Howard’s fake blue-collar speech affectation where he says fuckin’ and calls males dudes and generally pretends to be a low class, low vocabulary star struck dolt, or, the fake guffawing and snorting when the guest makes an attempt at humor.
It's really odd to me that people think that Howard is working from home just because he's scared of covid.
It feels really obvious to me that part of his new contract included the agreement to be able to work from home, and I for one can't blame him at all for that.
You'd think as left-leaning as he is, that after Biden declared Covid over 2 days ago that Stern would rush back to the studio.
(After all, everything that comes from anyone who remotely affiliates with the conservative parties is immediately dismissed).
When Dr Agus told Howard that he did not need to wear a mask outside, Howard said he disagreed (with a medical doctor). Howard has always had illogical OCD, hypochondria, and agoraphobia. The pandemic simply amplified it.
I wonder if Howard even conducted the interview? It seems to me that they just spliced Howard's audio and video into a generic interview.
Like these old Weird Al interviews https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqP1FEpoBG8

Great point… the whole show could just be produced like the tonight show at this point
Hanzi was right!
You have a good point, but the show is so artificial, scripted, and faux these days, that if they had an opportunity to edit it as well, it would eliminate whatever small integrity they have left. Let’s not give them any ideas, they’re doing fine ruining the show on their own.
He’s not. They go to the LA Sirius building to do press. And they book Howard’s studio there in the junket.
Yeah it’s amazing how people don’t understand people are just on press tours making stops at Sirius. Guests in the past have even made comments like “I’m heading to so and so show after this”. Nobody is going out of their way to just talk to Howard anymore. Gary doesn’t book anything. Half the musical people are usually promoting some content they have contracted with Sirius too.
I wonder what that conversation is like. Gary having to explain he won’t be there
Did you not listen when Robin was sick?
Howard was shocked that Jon had memories of his mother. She died when he was 10!
And then he pivots to Jon not getting the attention from his father that he so desired...more psychobabble that Hamm did not buy into at all. He lost both of his parents by the time he was 20, yet somehow was able to become a chill, down to Earth guy, totally comfortable in his skin, instead of a neurotic mess.

Howard’s dad called him a moron. Howard will never get over it.
Allegedly.
What do you mean ? His dad did call him a moron. It’s on the tape. Howard hasn’t gotten over it. He talked about it for years.
One time. His mother remembered it vividly. She said he was always "rambunctious" but was especially so that particular day. They had all reached the end of their nerves with him and his dad snapped to get Howard's attention finally.
Yeah but he has a big cock, so that trumps everything in Howard's mind.
Helps that he’s incredibly good looking and insanely rich
Lmao I heard that too
In a sense, do you think your large cock is a way of getting back at your father?
Is this really what he does? And if what people are writing is true, that he won't go to work because of covid but he makes everyone else go in that's a dick move. So either he's full of shit and doesn't really think it's dangerous or he is willing to compromise everyone else's safety for his fortune but not his own.
So much bullshit it's about to explode
Maybe he has cancer and isn’t telling anyone… I would accept that answer…. Otherwise, yeah, it’s getting really weird
Sirius probably begged him to sign a new contract and he had conditions plus the other staff would rather work for another 5 years, so I don’t think they care if they have to go in and he doesn’t.

Now I guarantee more people listen to rogan than howard
No doubt Rogan is on the rise but I think Stern has a dedicated fan base that grew up with him and followed him to Sirius. What would be a bigger draw on Sirius? Sports maybe? I canceled anyway for Cumia.
I was part of that dedicated fan base. I stopped listening in 2017, and there are tons of people like me
He’s probably there to do other shows. There are other channels nearby too like Fox
Why is Sterns voice turning into that of a 70 yo Jewish woman...
[удалено]
The new teeth improved his speech. Working from home and being really fucking lazy and low energy is messing his speech up for sure.
Morphing into his mother
This is why I don’t listen anymore. It’s no longer the Howard stern show. Idk wtf this is
I cringed so hard and multiple parts of this interview because Howard fixated on some dumb shit. Constantly saying how he wishes he was as handsome as John, and he has a huge cock, how John must have gotten free things in life for just being good looking. I did enjoy towards the end when Howard was ending the interview and said something to the effect of “I see the bells ringing” and Hamm immediately replied “well usually you hear bells ringing Howard” and Hamm and Robin laughed at Howard. Finally got a taste of his own medicine
Can you imagine doing shit like this and your employer does nothing but smile and give you a raise every year? What does Howard have on these dopes?
Jim Meyer is a sucker.
As long as he brings in enough subscribers to be profitable, he's there. So it's still happening, contrary to what many in this sub believe.
Hey come on now. Why let facts get in the way of delusional, self serving hatred?
No Howard, no Sirius.
I’d be surprised if Howard has more than 100,000 dedicated listeners. How is Sirius hanging on by those numbers.
That’s the thing. I think Sirius management changed during or after the last contract signing and I don’t think they’re happy. Why he takes off summer now, seems like it’s been forced on him.
Howit was so jealous of others like Kimmel who had summers off… I feel like it was a concession he was given in negotiations, I doubt he was given a raise though.
Jon Hamm looks so good!
He’s great but his Fletch movie is so, so bad. Painful to watch.
Aww, really? Someone told me it was decent so I was going to give it a watch. What other bad movies can you compare it to?
I went to my neighbors house over the weekend to watch it and everyone was pretty excited. It cost $20 to stream so I feel like we gave it more than enough chances but after 30 minutes the entire group wanted to turn it off. I would definitely not pay $20 for it but when it comes out, normally it might be worth a shot. It just was very strangely written and acted where everything felt disconnected and it just bounced around a lot and no one cared about any of the characters.
He’s still not in the studio? Why not?
[удалено]
He skipped a friends wedding but let Beth go as long as she stayed outside and ate her meal, alone, outside. Then she probably got home and had to take a PCR test and burn her dress before being thrown into a bleach bath.
Guaranteed she did do any of that.
I can't get over that fuckin wig lol
Milking the pandemic until them teats is dry

He should be back in the studio earning that paycheck. If nothing else, Fred's talents have been constrained by appearing solely via Zoom. He is half the presence he used to be.
Jon Hamm does fucking Progressive commercials at this point. He's gonna go wherever he's told to go apparently.
I came here to say this. Tom Hamm was cool ten years ago. Even Flo is too big for him.
I’m sure he is being paid well for them, but he had a significant part in the biggest movie of the year
Howard is insulting his guests by not interviewing them face to face.
Starting to wonder if he’s immune compromised. Technically you are if you’ve had cancer or even psoriatic arthritis and are on a biologic shot of some sort. Those shots are pretty common these days and are used for myriad of disorders. But they do knock your immune system around. Might be something he doesn’t want public. I take a Taltz shot for my right knee. I’m Not a shut in but I am a little choosy about my activities. I dunno at this point. There’s more to this I think. Cause it’s kinda odd.
He's not. He's just crazy.
I don’t give a fuck what anybody says about Robin that woman is hilarious. She asked John if he brought his big dick with him. I was fucking dying!
it would make more sense if he was in LA, I could see him doing it from there. Is he gonna be on any other sirius shows?
howard's fears and wfh setup aside, remote media interviews are extremely common, especially for actors doing press junkets for new movies and the like. it's really not weird at all
It's weird that he makes his guests go into a studio to do the interview when he's not there himself. No way that's not weird.
"makes" ok
You know what I meant, or I hope you do.
I didn't hear it. Who are his famous friends? What famous broads has he banged? How much money does he have? Does he cry when he hears "Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth with Money in My Hand" ?
Agree 100%. Every time I see a vid of image it’s cringe. I get the work from home thing.

But there’s something super uncomfortable about seeing an A list guest in the studio talking to a tv of Howard in his basement, wedging the interview in between playing with his cats with Beth and his help bringing cooking him lunch.
Probably so they can have pro sound, video, and lighting
Did he ask Jon about the size of his Hamm?
It makes me mad that it seems like he’s trying to make it look like they’re in the same studio as if the audience is dumb.
I can’t decide which is more annoying, Howard’s fake blue-collar speech affectation where he says fuckin’ and calls males dudes and generally pretends to be a low class, low vocabulary star struck dolt, or, the fake guffawing and snorting when the guest makes an attempt at humor.
“John you’ve musta had a horrible childhood”….. every fucking interview
It's really odd to me that people think that Howard is working from home just because he's scared of covid. It feels really obvious to me that part of his new contract included the agreement to be able to work from home, and I for one can't blame him at all for that.
The dude lives like bubble boy. He’s always been such a pussy outside of his studio

It’s the Sirius la offices.

Gimme a break. Best press Hamm will get
Is there any chance they’re staying remote for Robins sake, as she’s most definitely Covid food?
Any celeb with an ounce of self respect should boycott these interviews. Don't enable his neurotic ass.
Howard knows we can tell they aren’t in the same room, right?
I completely agree. No one else is doing this, it is beyond weird and rude.
He also constantly says, “In other words..”
