Howard Stern made his name as a 'shock jock' — saying almost anything on the air and poking fun at guests to get laughs, recognition, and ratings. He's interviewed countless celebrities over the years and asked questions that might have left both audience and star feeling uncomfortable. While one would think Stern would not think much about those interviews that may have hurt others, there's one he regrets to this day. Stern started gaining name recognition in 1982 when he began hosting a morning show on WNBC radio in New York City. When Stern didn't listen to the station's decree to not do "jokes or sketches relating to personal tragedies" or commit "slander, defamation or personal attacks on private individuals or organizations unless they have consented or are a part of the act" he was fired. But New York's WXRK quickly hired Stern and gave him more freedom by 1985, (via Biography). The shock jock went on to become a household name, writing books, getting his own late night show on E! that was taped right in his radio studio, according to Biography. Sadly, Stern regrets the way he interviewed late actor and comedian Robin Williams. The time Howard Stern knows he went too far. In 2019, Howard Stern published his third book titled "Howard Stern Comes Again." Rather than being autobiographies like its '90s predecessors "Private Parts" and "Miss America," (via Biography), The New York Times describes the third tome as a collection of interviews through the years, as well as Stern's thoughts on them. In the book, he describes the interview he did with Robin Williams back in the 1990s where he got on Williams' case for divorcing his first wife and marrying his children's nanny. "When Robin came on the show, I spent the entire time badgering him about how he had divorced his first wife and remarried his son's former nanny," Stern wrote, according to Too Fab. "I was attacking the guy, and he was justifiably furious with me." Years later, Stern wanted to apologize but he was too late, as Williams had taken his own life in 2014 at the age of 63, according to The New York Times. Stern confessed, "I'm still filled with sadness over his loss and remorse for my failure to reach out sooner." Literature / Private Parts. Private Parts is a 1993 book and adapted 1997 movie by Howard Stern, a mixture of an autobiographical tale from his childhood through to the the height of his career in the early '90s on The Howard Stern Show , plus various inserts detailing various aspects of his show and life. The movie adaptation focused on the autobiographical aspect. Stern describes in humorous detail growing up a Jewish kid in Roosevelt, Long Island, NY, son to a stern radio engineer and an overbearing housewife mother. He details the turn of his neighborhood from White and Jewish middle class to blue collar Black and his parents refusal to leave and the bullying he received being one of the few Jewish and White kids left in his school. He then proceeds to talk about his trials and tribulations chasing women (unsuccessfully mostly) from high school through college, along with experimenting with drugs and his first early attempts and entertaining people. After college, he proceeds a long of string of jobs in radio, slowly cultivating his on-air persona while collecting colleagues along the way (notably Fred Norris and Robin Quivers). The culmination of his radio career leads him to his infamous stint as the afternoon drive DJ at W EEEEEEN BC, where he has a legendary hate/hate relationship with his program director ("Pig Virus", based on real life radio personality Kevin Metheny) and rivalry with morning DJ Don Imus, while his popularity soars. He is eventually fired, but hired immediately by WXRK, and the bio parts end with him triumphant in the ratings over Imus in morning drive and briefly on his eventual syndication from there. The rest of book is a hodgepodge of various topics, including his interactions (good and bad) with various celebrities, his opinions on various comedians, persons in the news and other topics. The book was huge NYT bestseller, and the movie was a moderate success. Howard followed it with Miss America , and has mused various times to write another detailing his life since then. Private Parts Provides Examples of the Following Tropes: A Minor Kidroduction: The first 10-15 minutes of the movie includes Howard Stern as a young boy and tween. Adapted Out: The rivalry with Don Imus is mostly absent from the movie (an Imus-like character merely passes by briefly), probably for legal reasons. Arch-Enemy: Several, but Pig Virus, aka program director Kevin Metheny (last name changed to Rushton for the movie adaptation) and Don Imus stand out. This Is Why Howard Stern Got Divorced. For the first leg of Howard Stern's incredible career, there was one constant: his loving marriage to psychoanalyst and current ex-wife Alison Berns. Yes, though we know Stern for his foul mouth on-air antics, he was steadily married to his college sweetheart since 1978. Stern and Berns had three daughters, Emily, Ashley, and Debra together, according to New York Post. But they called it quits in 1999 and finalized the divorce two years later, per The Washington Post. Berns remarried in 2001 with a nest egg of $50 million, per Celebrity Net Worth. So that certainly softens the blow. But Berns was there for many of Stern's milestones: his decision to pursue radio full-time, per Money, his seemingly endless toils at local radio stations, and his landing of a major afternoon slot on New York City's WNBC. This led to his longtime run at the city's WXRK and the beginning of The Howard Stern Show. She was there for it all: his glory days in the 1990s, including a set at a sold-out Nassau Coliseum, per Rolling Stone . Her character even played a huge role in Howard Stern's book-turned-biopic Private Parts, with Stern professing she was the love of his life throughout. When they split, Stern was far from the success he is today. He's Forbes' 8th highest-paid celebrity of 2020. But she was certainly there for him. So what caused the disheartening split of Howard Stern and Alison Berns? Here's what happened. As Stern got mega-famous he and his first wife drifted. What went down with Howard Stern and Alison Berns' marriage? As Stern became an even bigger star, fame, and his "unique" career, caused too much strain on the pair. "Divorce was so theoretical to me because no one in my family had really been divorced," Stern confessed to Rolling Stone in 2011. "I was with my ex-wife since college, so it felt like such a failure. I was upset that I failed and let down my family, my kids, my ex- wife. It was all very painful." He added, "I think there were a lot of stressors, especially with what I did for a living." This is not a shock, given Stern's penchant for interviewing porn stars and doing pretty insane on-stage stunts like "Fart Man" at the VMAs. Stern told the outlet that going to therapy helped ease the pain. "I was totally neurotic and sort of consumed with work. I took work as the most important thing and the only thing," he said, explaining that he felt like a "detached robot" before therapy. "I said, 'Gee, where am I going to get some answers?' I had never been a guy to turn to religion but then as my marriage was coming to an end, I needed help to explain it to my children and make sense of it all. " Stern remarried, but tried the single life first. Howard Stern rebounded pretty quickly. He met his current wife, model Beth Ostrosky, in 2000, less than a year after his split from his ex-wife Alison, per MTV. Though the two instantly hit it off and got hitched in 2008, Stern didn't first take a stab at the "playboy" lifestyle. "After my divorce, I realized, 'Oh wow, I can go have sex,'" he told Rolling Stone. "And I was running around, picking up women. Then all of a sudden, it dawned on me that I really didn't need that much sex. I just wanted somebody with me every minute. I was using women as a surrogate mother. When I tapped into that, it suddenly became very childish behavior." Well, he soon curbed that behavior upon meeting Ostrosky, 18 years his junior, and the two have been together since. Though it may not be the romantic story we know from Private Parts, it's good Stern found a new relationship that works for him. So. all's well that ends well! Private Parts: The Album. The soundtrack for Howard Stern's cinematic debut Private Parts was bound to be a hodge-podge of styles designed by marketers to reach the most listeners, but it's still surprising to hear how uneven the album actually is. Divided between contemporary hard rock and classic hard rock interspersed with snippets of dialogue from the film, the album never really builds up speed. Half of the new songs are worthy -- particularly Porno for Pyros' "Hard Charger," which is more focused than anything they've previously released, and LL Cool J and the Red Hot Chili Peppers' collaboration, "I Make My Own Rules" -- but there is also dreck like Ozzy Osbourne and Type O Negative's awkward cover of Status Quo's "Pictures of Matchstick Men." The classic rock -- "Smoke on the Water," "I Want You to Want Me," "Cat Scratch Fever," "Jamie's Cryin'," a live "You Shook Me All Night Long" -- is good, but almost too familiar.

  • HOWARD STERN: the Making of "Howard Stern"
    HOWARD STERN: The Making of "Howard Stern": An Analysis of the Duality of the Star Diplomarbeit zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades eines Magisters der Philosophie an der Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz vorgelegt von Roland HABERSACK am Institut für Amerikanistik Begutachter: Ao. Univ.-Prof. Mag. Dr.phil Klaus Rieser Graz, 2011 Abstract The purpose of this thesis is to examine how the image of the controversial media personality Howard Stern is constructed. His omnipresence in the media including radio, publishing and cinema represents the main reason for this study. Stern‘s secret of success appears to be his urge to expose everything to the public including his own private life. For this study, both his public and his ostensible private persona are taken into account. This duality is necessary to shape our understanding of Howard Stern. As far as the methods are concerned the analysis is based around Richard Dyer‘s four categories that are essential to construct a star image: Promotion, publicity, film and criticism. A semiotic analysis seems to be most appropriate to observe the ideological values as well as the notion of cultural identity evoked by the signs of the star‘s public and private image. In order to compare the two personas and their representations Stern‘s biographical movie Private Parts and various articles and interviews in other visual media are used as reference purposes. Both entities extensively use manipulative means to create the preferred image. The difference lies in the highlighted features. Whereas the media confirms his notorious image, the movie attempts to revert it. Despite the difference of the preferred images, the movie and the media highlight Stern‘s authenticity and honesty in equal measure.
