stern was noted for his ethnic racial and almost always controversial attacks and subject matter yesterday WNBC citing conceptual differences that's a quote cancels Stern's afternoon Drivetime radio broadcasts a little later in this broadcast howard stern will be our guest in the studio to give us his side of the about this time every evening in a segment we call the heart of the matter we like to discuss a special topic he's holding my hand girl tonight we're going to do something a little different we're going to spotlight the personal humor of Howard Stern one of New York's most outrageous and out-of-work disc jockeys he was fired yesterday from WNBC Lake taya that talk show in the afternoon that you've lost me here Charles got some nice look we'll be talking to Howard in just a minute but first for those of you who need an introduction or reminding whose turn is here's a little background he's the man whose jokes about sex and race and religion amused some infuriated others and sent his ratings soaring darn accurate uh what are you uh good we're gonna let you play because the Jews were getting everything in this country and now we're gonna let the Protestants have their chance he's the man who called the TV series Hill Street Blues Hill Street June's he's the man who made jokes about aids and airplane crashes and sexual hang-ups and for that he was reputed to have been paid about $200,000 a year WNBC seemed happy with its radio bad-boy but yesterday the man listeners loved to hate was fired and so tonight on the heart of the matter we are going to ask Howard Stern when do broadcasters go too far where does hilarity stop and vulgarity begin as I say for those of you where's Noah Michelle mark Leave It or Not what don't ask about don't ask about the rest we're on now Howard Stern was on the front page of the New York Post they thought that was front page news with your wife and child does that have to do with being fired I don't know that's where they got the picture of um where's Michelle Marsh you know I could do record reviews on this thing I was just talking to someone about that I could come on here once a week and do record reviews translate this for me now and I'm pretty good on TV you look wonderful there John Hayes was the vice president general manager of NBC you don't hear the guy he said translate I'm trying to find out why you were fired this is what good I liked I'd like to find out too he said we had a running difference of opinion on what the program should be and I think that led us to a point over a long period of time where we decided that his show was no longer appropriate for NBC what hell's at me I don't know what does that mean I said won't you pull your audience about that what I think happened is I don't think John really fired me I don't think I was fired for anything I said or I did what happened was the radio division loved me the president of radio division had just renegotiated my contract you're going to get paid now that mean you can oh yeah I'm going to sit home and get paid I guess how long uh well I got another two years to go and the thing is they all love me there what happened was probably some yo-yo up at the NBC corporate or RCA or something didn't one of his kids complained about me didn't like me and threw me off the radio station but maybe you are little nuts when you think about what you call your bosses on the air every day that's not really designed to further your career oh they know that there's a certain amount of honesty going on there but I had a good I had a good working relationship with my bosses you know it is a bit strange they fired you but throughout all the years we all seen those signs you want to talk stranger about your hair it's orange in that nice what do you diet no you look good I'm serious I love you either art oh I've been yeah most every place now that the commercial said if we weren't so bad we wouldn't be so good that's the point the point is is that they put a commercial on TV and they said this is Howard Stern's image we like it we endorse it we Howard's been on the air for three years doing this kind of thing we love it so we are BlackBerry so the the reason they fired me is somebody upstairs probably who's close to the chairman of the board who every year is probably the eighth guy in line to take over some day got a you know got a bug about me and didn't like what I was doing you know what's interesting we just got a promo reel of you from Washington DC where you were last fired for pretty much no I wasn't fired in Washington DC I was hired by NBC in the station got mad at me for running off you know look I better get your facts straight well you were you were fired take it off irresponsible journalism give me Jim Gensan why can't he in turbulent you're busy Howard Stern on c-101 radio he's never played by the rules that's a great cover 10 seconds boy everybody caught that real quick a 10-second commercial you corny why don't we Riku it and run it again then we'll try to run it again at point of that is they were promoting you there as a pervert yeah yeah so I mean they don't last month they take you off the air you said because they're mad you're going to NBC but they did take you off the air they took me off the air because they had already signed the contract with NBC I had I wasn't fired in Washington and I will and here in New York I was fired and I can't figure out why you know I mean a lot of people are upset about it this you know all right you know I had listeners I wasn't like I was on WMCA where you yell at the window and you can reach more people you know what I mean yeah I know what I'm talking about I had a lot of people listening to me I had a million plus listeners and a lot of people are feeling robbed they got nothing to listen to no what I want to get to your partner Rob and I want to kiss you on the lips well let's that have to do with it all right go ahead well what happened to her Robin is fired also and Robin and I are looking for work is the best one of the best broadcasters in the industry you said last Friday that you are going to LA I might did you have an offer in LA I've spoken to people who of interest I'll tell you the truth right now I am looking for a job I would love to hear from everyone my agent is down buck well please give me a job I want to get back on the air in New York I want to do my thing and I want to look at Carol's a leg someone where's Michelle Marcella don't you do that to Michelle do you know how that makes it real uncomfortable you know what make sure is that why she's not here today cuz I'm here why she's Maddy oh man she is she's beautiful I want to you know I want to check it out I want to see that fine let's get to the greater question now right yeah what is the greater where does broadcasting mean where do you draw the line you made jokes about you see I know where you're going with this I'm sick of this how you want it take it because there are literally in New York millions of people who love me I have huge ratings everybody sitting in analyzing gee how far can go hugging it this is entertainment people there's a huge audience for what I do like making jokes about Asians entertaining we didn't make jokes about it raising money for AIDS why I don't know you know I think you know the point is we comment on AIDS we say what's on people's minds I said I'm afraid to sit on a toilet seat because I might get AIDS is is that so terrible to say making jokes about Julie girls insects that's funny well you know hey there's a million topics out there every comedian I know what you're trying to say and I'm not going to defend or strike Jews it was a hilarious sketch I heard from rabbis who liked it the point is you nuts we're not sitting there to debate whether or not my kind of radio is good the reason I'm here is to say hey there's a lot of people who like what I do I'm a damn good entertainer and what happened to me I want people to know is not a result of a business number one I was building more for the station they never build in the afternoons they were getting upwards of $850 a minute on my show that's unheard of an afternoon radio so as far as you know there wasn't a last straw there was no last straw what happened is someone got a bug what what happened you came to work in that crazy a million people like me some guy gets a bug and then I'm out and no explanation given you know I'm not bitter and I'm not mad at anyone but you certainly sound bitter med now no I'm just upset that I'm not doing my show which is which is what I like to do mm-hmm you know I devoted a lot of time to it I didn't take any outside work while I was doing it cuz I wanted that thing to be successful you feel then that you really were that there was no grounds to fire you and that this was totally what unfounded oh yeah why would they like me for three years and all of a sudden someone didn't like I guess that's what we had you on for we're trying to figure that I don't know man maybe Michael this is a job for Mike Wallace 60 minutes this is Watergate man it's Watergate all over again let me see you ask for Michelle and Jensen and Wallace so you don't want to talk to me anymore so maybe I do have any last statement you want to make well I just want to say to people you know I do want to work in New York I like working in New York I'm I can't figure out what happened and if anybody's got a job for me I'll take it Carol let's leave on that yeah if you know anybody should we have them call I don't think I know the right yeah we're about to get water we're calling Michelle really no different Joe lay before he would be together a bottle with some of the people that you've got mister let's do that so you can have a show then when you get a show for one while I'm going another the penetrate

I was always surprised how Howard Stern was marketed outside tri-state area.

He is so obnoxious here - he is trying way too hard.
