> [@Snag](#): > > Howard does some of the best celebrity interviews. If they can take a joke, he’ll bring out a side of these people that you usually don’t see. He’s an intelligent guy who can talk on any subject, and it’s always a conversation more than an interview, which puts them at ease. I used to listen to Stern regularly (and still do occasionally) and I agree that he is the best interviewer going. However, there was one interview that I thought was a disaster. Did you hear his interview of M. Night Shyamalan 3 or 4 years ago? Stern’s rascist comments throughout were extremely disturbing. M. Night persevered bravely, but you could tell he was very uncomfortable. I was frankly shocked, and saddened. Stern should be ashamed of himself. ---

Did he play the recording of “Up, Up and Away” in the sitar? 'Cause, man, that cracks me up! Can you tell I can forgive him anything? ---

During the Presidential election Howard was very outspoken in favor of Kerry, or to be precise, against Bush and specifically against Bush’s FCC. It was to the point that there was alot of speculation, mainly in non-political trade press, that Stern might have an effect in a close election. His rants against Bush were constant and harsh circa Sept-Nov 04. ---

His rants against Bush were constant and harsh circa Sept-Nov 04. Not to mention exceedingly boring. :o (I guess that’s supposed to be the embarrassment smiley, but he looks sleepy to me) ---

> [@blowero](#): > > Pardon the non-sequitur, but she doesn’t do anything for me. She’s obviously very beautiful, but to me she looks plastic - almost like _charicature_ of a beautiful woman. Exactly the type of woman I would have thought Howard would go for. Take my word for it, the picture doesn’t do her justice. The way she moves and carries herself is just sooooo sexy. JMHO.
