Howard Allan Stern (born January 12, 1954) is an American radio personality. He is the host of The Howard Stern Show which has been exclusive to Sirius XM Radio, an uncensored satellite radio service, since 2006. Stern gained widespread recognition while on "terrestrial" airwaves, where he was labelled a "shock jock" for his outspoken and controversial nature. He is the highest-paid radio personality in the United States,¹ including the most fined,² following a history with the Federal Communications Commission over indecency that began in 1986.

Stern wanted to be on the radio since the age of five. In 1975, while attending Boston University, he presented a comedy program with friends at the campus radio station, WTBU. He made his professional debut working middays at WRNW in Westchester County, New York in 1977 for two years. He developed a more confident personality throughout 1979 and 1980 in morning positions at WCCC in Hartford, Connecticut and WWWW in Detroit, Michigan. In 1981, he paired with his news anchor Robin Quivers at WWDC in Washington, D.C., delivering high morning audience figures. In September 1982, Stern began an aftenoon show at WNBC in New York City, the country's most competitive radio market. Numerous management disputes led to an abrupt firing in September 1985, while Stern topped the afternoon ratings. He returned to New York airwaves on WXRK in November, broadcasting for over 20 years until leaving for Sirius XM in 2005.

Stern describes himself as the "King of All Media" for his successes outside radio. Since 1987, his television career includes successful late night talk shows and record-breaking pay-per-view specials. He is the author of Private Parts (1993) and Miss America (1995), both of which topped the New York Times Best Seller list in their first week of release. In 1997, the former was developed into a biographical comedy film starring Stern and some of his radio show staff as themselves. Directed by Betty Thomas, the film grossed over $40 million in the United States alone.

Early life and education (1954–1976)

Howard Stern was born on January 12, 1954 in Jackson Heights, Queens in New York City, to an Jewish American family (his Hebrew name is "Tzvi").³⁴ His parents Ben and Ray (née Schiffman) Stern are children of Austro-Hungarian immigrants. Ellen, his elder sister of four years, is described by Stern as "completely opposite" though they maintain a good relationship.⁵ Five months after Stern's birth, the family moved to the suburban area of Roosevelt on Long Island.⁶

Stern's interest in radio began when he was five years old.⁷ While Ray was a homemaker for most of his childhood,⁸⁹ Ben was a co-owner of Aura Recording, Inc., a recording studio in Manhattan where cartoons and commercials were produced. When he would occasionally work with his father, Stern met the likes of Wally Cox, Don Adams and Larry Storch who were the voices of his favourite cartoon characters. Such visits influenced him to be on the radio to talk, rather than play records. Ben was also an engineer at WHOM-AM in Manhattan,¹⁰ where its FM sister station became WXRK-FM in 1985. Stern would broadcast for over twenty years in his career at the station.

Stern attended Washington Rose Elementary School until the end of sixth grade,¹¹ followed by Roosevelt Junior-Senior High School, where at the end of the 1968-1969 academic year more than three-quarters of Roosevelt's 4,000 school children were African American.¹² Stern published his experiences in his 1993 autobiography, describing the abuse and beatings he received from black students.¹³ In June 1969, the family moved to nearby Rockville Centre, where Stern transferred to South Side High School and graduated in the spring of 1972.¹⁴¹⁵

Having turned down an acceptance at Elmira College in upstate New York, Stern attended Boston University in the fall of 1972 for its reputation in broadcast communications.¹⁶ In his sophomore year, he spun records and read the news at his campus radio station, WTBU.¹⁷ In February 1975, he and three elder students put on a comedy show named The King Schmaltz Bagel Hour, loosely named after the nationally syndicated King Biscuit Flower Hour.¹⁴ The four were fired during their first show for "Godzilla Goes to Harlem", a sketch that angered the station's manager.¹⁸ From August to December 1975, Stern gained brief professional experience doing daytimes at WNTN-AM in Newton, Massachusetts.¹⁹²⁰ He graduated magna cum laude in May 1976 with a bachelor's degree in communications, carrying a 3.8 Grade Point Average.²¹¹⁴ He now funds a scholarship at the university.²²

Career

Early radio career (1977–1980)

Among the radio stations Stern contacted after graduating was WRNW-FM, a progressive rock station in Briarcliff Manor, a small village in Westchester County, New York. His audition tape was praised by the general manager, yet Stern rejected offers. He became unsure of his talent and questioned his future in the industry. He soon took an entry-level position at Benton & Bowles, a New York advertising agency. Stern was contacted by the station again, and jumped at the chance to work a shift on Christmas Day 1976.²⁰ He was hired full-time in the spring of 1977,¹⁴ working a four-hour midday shift for six days, for $96 a week before taxes.²⁰ In November, Stern became the station's program director while retaining his on-air shift, with an increased salary to $12,000.

In early 1979, Stern spotted an opening for a wild morning personality at WCCC-FM, a rock station in Hartford, Connecticut. He showcased a more wild personality in his audition tape, performing flatulence routines, one-liners and playing records by Robert Klein and Cheech and Chong.²³ He was hired in the spring with no change in salary, but a busier schedule. After a four-hour shift, he voiced and produced commercials for another four. On Saturdays, after a six hours on the air, he did production work for the next three. He would conduct interviews during the week for an additional half-hour public affairs show on Sunday mornings.²³ In the station's line-up, Stern succeeded his future show writer and producer Fred Norris, a college student working overnights at the time.²³ After he was denied an increase in salary by the station's owner, Stern left Hartford in March 1980.²⁴

Stern's audition tape for a new morning shift at WWWW-FM in Detroit, Michigan was well-received by management, who offered a salary more than twice as much as Hartford.²⁵ He moved to Southfield, a suburb of Detroit, making his debut on April 21, 1980.¹⁴ Both Stern and the station soon ran into problems. He trailed his strengthening competitors in the Arbitron ratings to those including Steve Dahl, who in June was syndicated to WABX-FM from WLUP-FM in Chicago.²⁶ The addition of a fourth rock station in the Detroit market, WLLZ-FM in August, quickened the need for change for "W-4". Stern nevertheless continued to develop his style, learning to become more aggressive and open on the air.²⁷ He was getting noticed in the industry, having won a Billboard Award for "AOR Personality of the Year For a Major Market" and the Drake-Chenault "Top Five Talent Search".²⁸²⁹ On Sunday January 18, 1981, the station switched to a country music format.³⁰ Much to his dislike, Stern grudgingly played records he had to as "Hopalong Howie", until leaving the station soon after.

Washington and WNBC New York (1981–1985)

Stern was informed by radio consultant Dwight Douglas of WWDC-FM in Washington, D.C., where management wished for an "attention grabbing" morning program.³⁰ He moved to a high-rise apartment in Bethesda, Maryland, starting at "DC-101", his fourth professional radio job in five years, on March 2, 1981.¹⁴ He was determined to be successful, and realized what was missing from his show – an on-air newscaster to mix it up with him in the studio.³¹ Program director Denise Oliver then paired Stern with Robin Quivers, a radio news anchor from WFBR-AM in Baltimore. A chemistry quickly developed between the two, and her contributions made the show sound less robotic.³² The pair were a success, with Stern having the second highest-rated morning program by January 1982.³³

Impressed with his performance, general manager Goff Lebhar offered Stern a long-term contract, which was rejected. Stern saw no reason to rush into a new agreement.³³ He was in discussions with NBC by Jerry Nachman and Robert Sherman, then-vice president of the NBC Radio Network, in working afternoons at their flagship station, WNBC-AM in New York City.³³ He soon signed a deal worth $1 million over five years,³⁴ with six months remaining on his contract at "DC-101". Lebhar was made aware of the quiet deal in March when newspapers began reporting Stern's move to New York.³⁵ On June 25, 1982, Stern's contract was ultimately terminated at "DC-101".³⁶ His spring Arbitron ratings were his best in Washington, claiming an 8% share of the morning audience, ranking third overall. He had more than tripled his ratings during his 15-month stay.³⁶

The new year would see Stern venture into his first project outside radio. Wren Records Limited approached him to produce a comedy album of his radio bits, titled 50 Ways to Rank Your Mother. Stern requested an initial upfront payment, which totalled $3,500.³³ Rights to the album later changed hands, being re-released as Unclean Beaver on compact disc in November 1994.³³

On September 6, 1982, Stern began his afternoon drive show at WNBC from 4–8 pm. He missed the following four days of work while recovering from strep throat.³⁷ Stern's first of many appearances on Late Night with David Letterman, beginning May 21, 1984, launched him into the national spotlight for the first time.¹⁴ In the spring of 1985, Stern had the top afternoon show in New York, with a record 5.7% share of the listening audience, the highest at the station since 1981.³⁸ Among the success, Stern's relationship with management deteriorated.

K-Rock, early television endeavors and Fartman (1985–1992)

Stern and Quivers kept busy following their exit from WNBC. They performed live shows at clubs throughout October and November 1985.³⁹ Their act included song parodies, magic tricks and video screenings. On November 6, New York rock station WXRK-FM announced their return to afternoon airwaves beginning November 18.⁴⁰ Stern signed a five-year contract with station owner Infinity Broadcasting worth around $500,000 that escalated in successive years.⁴¹ After three months in afternoons, Stern moved to the prime time morning shift from 6-10am on February 18, 1986.³⁹ In the same year, the show began syndication to other markets beginning August 18, when WYSP-FM in Philadelphia became its first affiliate. By 1992, the show would become the first to be number one in the New York and Los Angeles Arbitron ratings simultaneously. Stern remained at the station until December 16, 2005, before moving to Sirius XM.⁴² During his stay of over twenty years, he would be heard in over 60 markets across the United States and Canada⁴³⁴⁴ while gaining a peak audience of around 20 million.⁴⁵⁴⁶⁴⁷

Stern's television career began in May 1987 when the Fox network seeked a late night talk show replacement for The Late Show hosted by Joan Rivers. Five hour-long pilot episodes of The Howard Stern Show were recorded between May 13–30,⁴⁸⁴⁹ featuring rock guitarist Leslie West as bandleader and Steve Rossi as announcer.⁵⁰ The episodes, ultimately, never made it to air. One Fox executive reportedly described the show as "poorly produced," "in poor taste" and "boring."⁵¹ On February 27, 1988, Stern hosted his first pay-per-view event, Howard Stern's Negligee and Underpants Party.³⁹ The two-hour special aired at prices ranging from $19.95 to $29.95 for buyers in the New York area.⁵² Around 60,000 homes purchased the event that grossed $1.2 million in total. Stern retained rights to the tape, selling copies on VHS for $24.95.⁵³ One year later on September 7, 1989, 16,000 fans packed out Nassau Coliseum for Howard Stern's U.S. Open Sores, a live event featuring a main event tennis match between Stern and his radio show producer Gary Dell'Abate.

Stern was eager to prove his worth on television, and signed a deal in early 1990 with WWOR-TV to produce four Saturday night television pilots. The Howard Stern Show became part of the week's lineup, entering national syndication by All American Television in January 1991 to 65 markets overall.⁵⁴ A total of 69 episodes from July 14, 1990 to August 8, 1992 were recorded.⁵⁵ During this time, Stern put out Crucified by the FCC in February 1991, a compilation of radio show segments that were edited or "dumped" from the air,⁵⁶ including one that led to the FCC issuing its first fine to Infinity Broadcasting for alleged "indecent" material. Stern returned to late night television in November 1992, hosting a weekly one-on-one interview show on the E! Entertainment Television network. The Howard Stern Interview premiered on November 27, airing a total of 36 episodes.⁵⁷

Stern appeared at the 1992 MTV Video Music Awards on September 9, 1992 as Fartman, a fictional superhero that first appeared in the National Lampoon magazine in the mid-1970s. He first used the character while at Washington in 1981. Stern rejected multiple script proposals for a summer 1993 release of The Adventures of Fartman, until a verbal agreement was reached with New Line Cinema.⁵⁸ Screenwriter J. F. Lawton was hired to prepare a script, before relations soured over the film's rating and disputes over merchandising rights.

Private Parts, E! show and run for Governor (1993–1994)

In early 1993, Stern signed a contract with publisher Simon & Schuster to write his first book, with an advance of around $1 million.⁵⁹ He worked with editor Judith Regan and co-author Larry Sloman throughout the year to meet the fall deadline. Initial titles that were rejected included Mein Kampf and Penis.⁶⁰ On November 7,⁵⁶ the release of Private Parts triggered rapid sales, with Schuster doubling its initial printing numbers. By the end of October, over one million copies were distributed.⁵⁹ The book topped The New York Times Best-Seller list on its first week, becoming the fastest-selling title in Schuster's 70-year history after five days.⁶¹ Stern has written forewords for Steal This Dream (1998), a biography of Abbie Hoffman, Disgustingly Dirty Joke Book (1998) by Jackie Martling, and most recently Too Fat to Fish (2008) by Artie Lange.

In August 1993, Stern announced his plan to host The Miss Howard Stern New Year's Eve Pageant on pay-per-view. Pageants were held in each of the 16 cities where the radio show was syndicated to. Finalists then competed to be crowed "Miss Howard Stern 1994". The event surpassed the non-sports record in subscriber purchases, surpassing a New Kids on the Block concert in April 1990 ordered by 276,000 homes, bringing in $5.5 million.⁶² Around 400,000 households reportedly purchased Stern's $40 event, earning $16 million.⁶³ In early 1994, the pay-per-view was later released on VHS as Howard Stern's New Year's Rotten Eve 1994.

In June 1994, cameras were installed in the radio show studio to produce a half-hour show named Howard Stern shown on E! Entertainment Televsion. A consistent ratings winner, the show came to an end after eleven years in July 2005. On November 18, 2005, Howard Stern launched Howard TV in conjunction with his move to satellite radio.

On March 22, 1994, Stern announced his candidacy for Governor of New York under the Libertarian Party ticket.⁶⁴ He challenged Mario Cuomo for re-election, largely in opposition to his stand against the reinstitution of the death penalty. Stern made a three-point platform, promising the return of the death penalty, changes in highway toll collection to improve traffic flow, and limiting road construction to night hours.⁶⁵⁶⁶ On April 23, at the party's nomination convention in Albany, Stern won the required two-thirds majority on the first ballot, receiving 287 of the 381 votes cast (75.33%). James Ostrowski, who also also ran for candidacy, finished second with 34 votes (8.92%).⁶⁷ On August 4, Stern withdrew his candidacy under two campaign requirements.⁶⁵ To place his name on the November ballot, he was obliged to state his home address for use on petitions. A financial disclosure form was also necessary, under the Ethics in Government Act of 1978. Arguing the law violated his right to privacy and freedom of association, Stern was denied a temporary injunction on August 2. Cuomo was defeated in the gubernatorial election on November 8 by George Pataki, whom Stern backed, with 48.8% of the vote.

Miss America, Private Parts movie and CBS show (1995–1997)

Stern's outspoken style has brought criticism. For example, a few days after the murder of singer Selena, Stern criticized her music. Stern said, "This music does absolutely nothing for me. Alvin and the Chipmunks have more soul... Spanish people have the worst taste in music. They have no depth." Stern's comments outraged and infuriated the Hispanic community across Texas. Stern received a huge backlash when he further mocked Selena's murder itself, by playing gunshots over her music.⁶⁸⁶⁹

Stern signed a contract with ReganBooks to write a second book, with an advance of around $3 million.⁷⁰ Titled Miss America, it was released on November 7, 1995. It instantly sold 33,000 copies at Barnes & Noble stores and a total 120,000 in the first week, knocking off My American Journey by Colin Powell from the top spot on national best-seller lists.

Stern's 1993 autobiography was adapted into a biographical film in 1997, developed from a script by Len Blum and Michael Kalesniko.⁷¹ Directed by Betty Thomas, the film topped the box office in its opening weekend with a gross of $14.6 million,⁷² and slightly more than $41 million in total.⁷² Although receiving mostly positive reviews from critics including Siskel and Ebert, Rotten Tomatoes claim the film glossed over Stern's use of his sexual and racial humor.⁷³ For his performance, Stern won the Blockbuster Entertainment Award for "Favorite Male Newcomer". The awards are given based on write-in votes from fans, and Stern won by a wide margin.⁷⁴ Stern was also nominated for a Golden Satellite Award for "Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture (Comedy)", and a Razzie Award for "Worst New Star".⁷⁵

CBS television show and productions (1998–2003)

Stern competed with Saturday Night Live with The Howard Stern Radio Show, a Saturday night show broadcast on CBS and its affiliates. This was soon to be unsuccessful, with Stern's show being beaten by SNL in the ratings.⁷⁶ The show ran for 84 episodes until May 19, 2001. Stern quit further episodes so he could produce a syndicated show called Kane,⁷⁷ yet the show was never produced. He was also involved with a pilot starring comedian Robert Schimmel that didn't get picked up as a series.

In 2002, Stern's production company, Howard Stern Productions, acquired the rights to the 1979 film Rock 'n' Roll High School and the 1982 film Porky's, neither of which have yet to be re-made. Stern was also a producer of the series Son of the Beach, which ran for three seasons. He informed listeners in early 2004 that he was in talks with ABC to produce an interview special, which never materialized. He also intended to produce two cartoons, Doomsday⁷⁸ and Howard Stern: The High School Years,⁷⁹ but neither of these ever made it to the airwaves. In 2009, Stern explained that he refused to agree to flash animation over traditionally drawn cartoons.

Satellite radio and CBS lawsuit (2004–present)

Stern announced on October 6, 2004, that he signed a five-year contract with Sirius Satellite Radio, a medium free from the regulations imposed by the FCC. He was unhappy broadcasting on traditional radio. With the combined stresses of heavy censorship, editing by management, and lengthy commercial breaks, Stern revealed he felt "dead inside" creatively.⁸⁰ The contract with Sirius, which took effect on January 1, 2006, allowed Stern to have three channels, although only two are currently used. Sirius provided a budget of $500 million to pay Stern, his staff and general production costs.⁸¹ The deal included an additional one-time stock bonus for Stern and his agent, as a subscriber quota set in 2004 was met. Sources claim that the bonus was worth approximately $218 million.⁸² The contract will expire at midnight on December 31, 2010. Following his move to Sirius, Stern was included in the Time 100 list by Time magazine, part of the hundred most influential people in the world in May 2006.⁸³ and reached #7 in "World's Most Powerful Celebrity" by Forbes.⁸⁴

On October 26, 2004, Michael Powell, then the chairman of the FCC, was being interviewed on KGO-AM in San Francisco. Stern called in and questioned Powell's credentials. "How did you get your job?", Stern asked. "It is apparent to most of us in broadcasting that your father (former Secretary of State Colin Powell) got you your job." Stern accused Powell and the Commission of crusading against his radio show by levying huge fines but not allowing them their day in court to determine if the show is obscene. Stern also accused Powell of racketeering by blocking Viacom from buying new stations or renewing licenses of existing radio stations unless they pay up. Powell told Stern, "I don't think we have made any particular crusade of the Howard Stern show or you." Stern replied, "Yeah, OK, Michael, that's why I've received the largest fines in history."⁸⁵

On February 28, 2006, CBS Radio (formerly Infinity Broadcasting) announced it had filed a lawsuit against Stern, his agent Don Buchwald, and Sirius, arguing that Stern promoted Sirius "to enrich himself unfairly."⁸⁶ It also claimed that Stern "repeatedly and will-fully" breached his contract with CBS, "misappropriated millions of dollars worth [of airtime]" for his own benefit and "fraudulently concealed" his performance-related interests in Sirius stock. The suit, filed in New York State Court, sought compensatory and punitive damages. Stern anticipated the suit, and earlier that day, prior to CBS' announcement, held a press conference, discussing how CBS added to the media attention, even booking him for appearances on Late Show with David Letterman and 60 Minutes. "I made them millions of dollars," Stern argued. "If I was hurting them, why did they keep me on the air for fourteen months? How can you have it both ways?"⁸⁷ When a settlement was announced on May 26, 2006, Sirius gained exclusive rights to Stern's back catalogue of radio broadcasts at WXRK from November 1985 to December 2005, totalling almost 23,000 hours.⁸⁸ The rights, costing Sirius approximately $2 million, equates to approximately $87 per-hour of tape.⁸⁹

Personal life

Stern developed an interest in Transcendental Meditation while attending Boston University, which he practices to this day.⁹⁰ He credits it with aiding him in quitting smoking and achieving his goals in radio.⁹¹ Stern has interviewed Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the founder of the technique, twice in his career. His mother Ray also learned the technique, claiming it cured her symptoms of depression.⁹²

On June 4, 1978, Stern married college sweetheart Alison Berns at Ohabei Shalom, a Reform synagogue in Brookline, Massachusetts, both 24 years old.⁹³ They have three daughters – Emily Beth (b. 1983), Debra Jennifer (b. 1986) and Ashley Jade (b. 1993).⁹⁴⁹⁵ On October 25, 1999, Stern announced their decision to separate.⁹⁶ They amicably divorced in 2001 that ended in a settlement.⁹⁷ Stern began a period of single living in New York City's Upper West Side, dating a number of women including Angie Everhart and Robin Givens.⁹⁸⁹⁹

In spring of 2000, Stern began dating model Beth Ostrosky, who co-hosted Casino Cinema on Spike TV from 2004 to 2007.⁹⁷¹⁰⁰ She had also frequently appeared in the American edition of men's magazine FHM until it ceased publication in 2007.¹⁰¹ The pair have lived together in Manhattan with their bulldog "Bianca Romijn-Stamos O'Connell." Stern also owns a house in the Hamptons on Long Island. On February 14, 2007, after a period of seven years, Stern announced his engagement to Ostrosky.⁹⁷ They later married on October 3, 2008, at the Le Cirque restaurant in New York City.¹⁰²

Stern regularly plays on the Internet Chess Club. He has taken on-line lessons from Dan Heisman, a chess master from Philadelphia.¹⁰³

In popular culture

Stern's prevalent media presence has led to his being parodied or referenced in various outlets;

• His radio show is spoofed briefly in the "Sex" episode in the British satirical comedy Brasseye as The Adolf Snarn Show.
• In the Family Guy episode "Mr. Griffin Goes to Washington", a flashback depicts Peter Griffin repeatedly yelling "Baba Booey Baba Booey Howard Stern's penis Baba Booey" at the Clarence Thomas hearings, a reference to Stern fans' practice of shouting that word (itself a reference to Stern's producer, Gary Dell'Abate) to disrupt live television and radio shows.
• In the Futurama episode "The Luck of the Fryish", while walking down an empty 'Old' New York City, Fry yells out "Howard Stern is overrated!", as one of the things he always wished he could have done in New York. (From 1989 to 1995, Billy West, the voice of Fry, was a cast member of The Howard Stern Show and provided the show with various character voices.)
• He has been twice depicted in the MTV claymation comedy Celebrity Deathmatch, first as the victorious opponent of Kathie Lee Gifford, and again as a guest referee in a match between Carmen Electra and Jenny McCarthy.
• In the South Park episode "Fat Camp", Kenny McCormick has oral sex with Stern in exchange for money.
• In the 1990s show Animaniacs episode Morning Malaise, Yakko, Wakko, and Dot enter the studio of "Howie Tern," a clear parody of Howard Stern.
• Both Howard Stern and The Lion King are parodied on The Critic as animals would gather around the New York area to worship The Cockroach King. Stern would then ask a cricket to show him her thorax, which she would cheerfully giggle to.
