Howard Allen Stern (born January 12, 1954) is an American radio and Television personality, media mogul, humorist, actor, and author.
Howard Stern currently hosts The Howard Stern Show four days a week (Monday-Thursday) on Howard 100, a Sirius Satellite Radio station. On Fridays, Mastertape Theatre airs, playing replays of old Howard Stern shows from years past. Replays of the show can be heard throughout the day on Howard 100 and various times on Howard 101.
The self-proclaimed "King of All Media" (a humorous reference to Michael Jackson's appellation "The King of Pop") has been dubbed a shock jock for his highly controversial use of scatological, sexual and racial humor. Stern has said that the show was never about shocking people, but primarily intended to offer his honest opinions on a gamut of issues (ranging from world affairs to problems among his own staff). Though controversial, he is one of the highest-paid radio personalities in the United States and the most fined personality in radio broadcast history.
He is best known for his national radio show, which for many years was syndicated on FM broadcast radio stations (and a few AM stations) throughout the United States until his last terrestrial radio broadcast on December 16, 2005. He began broadcasting on the subscription-based Sirius satellite radio service on January 9, 2006.
In addition to radio, Stern has ventured into publishing, television, feature films, and music. He has written two books, Private Parts, which he adapted into a film, and Miss America. Stern's television endeavors include a variety show on New York City's WWOR-TV, a nightly E! show documenting his radio broadcasts, a similar CBS program that competed with Saturday Night Live for a time, "Howard On-Demand" for digital cable subscribers in various markets, and Son of the Beach, a parody of Baywatch for FX for which Stern was the executive producer.
In 2006, Howard Stern was elected into Time Magazine's "Time 100: The People who shape our world" [1] and was ranked #7 in Forbes Magazine's 2006 annual Celebrity 100 Top 100 Forbes.com, June 2006]. NewsMax.com Magazine's "Top 25 Talk Radio Host" list selected Stern as the thirteenth most influential host in the nation. [2]
