HOWARD STERN
Name: Howard Allan Stern
Born: 12 January 1954 New York City, New York
Howard Allan Stern (born January 12, 1954) is an American radio and television
personality, media mogul, humorist, actor, and author. Stern hosts The Howard
Stern Show four days a week (Monday–Thursday) on Howard 100, a Sirius Satellite
Radio station.
The self-proclaimed "King of All Media" 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 the highest-paid
radio personality in the United States[citation needed] 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 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 moved 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 which Stern executive produced.
In 2006, Howard Stern was elected into Time Magazine's "Time 100: The People who
shape our world" and was ranked #7 in Forbes Magazine's 2006 annual Celebrity
100. On February 13, 2007, Stern became engaged to his long-time girlfriend,
model Beth Ostrosky.
