Howard Stern
From OAPedia.com
Howard Stern is a famous New York shock jock known for his politically incorrect brand of humor. Very popular in the 1980s and 1990s, he put out two best-selling books (Private Parts and Miss America), had several television shows, and played himself in the movie Private Parts, very loosely based on his life story. Howard has become more egomaniacal in recent years, claiming he invented this and that, and that other people rip him off.
Howard ran afoul of Opie and Anthony by implementing a gag order on them when they worked for Infinity Broadcasting, such that they could not mention his name on their show. After signing on to XM, Opie and Anthony have been free to point out Howard's hypocrisies and often play embarrassing clips of him, including one where Howard promotes XM satellite radio, even though he signed a contract with their competitor, Sirius. They have also pointed out Howard's desperation in trying to get his name in the press, including spreading a rumor that he would be returning to terrestrial radio, and announcing his proposal to girlfriend Beth Ostrosky after years of saying he would never get married again.
Howard has "done it all" and also claimed to be the creator of WOW as well as playing clips of O&A on his show without crediting them. He did, however, unknowingly invent Howie Math, wherein ratings numbers and subscription totals can be blatantly changed, so long as it makes him look good.
Nicknamed "Hoo Hoo", because of his laugh.
Delights in pointing out when O&A's terrestrial radio ratings are low, yet he himself has absolutely ZERO terrestrial radio listeners. Likes to bend and manipulate facts to these ends to make O&A look like they're in the toilet and make himself look like he's doing better than he actually is.
Likes to burn bridges and abandon those who have faithfully worked for him in the past, not unlike Andrew Dice Clay. Billy West, of Ren & Stimpy, "Looney Tunes," and Futurama fame is among one of those who got shit on by Howie.
Recently, it has been rumored that Howard wears dentures, and that his poodle hair is actually a wig.
