Audiences were applauding these developments in the entertainment industry when Howard Stern was an infant. Frank Sinatra makes a comeback this year in From Here to Eternity. Marlon Brando wins the Best Actor Oscar for the classic On the Waterfront. And Judy Garland stars in her last big musical A Star is Born. Meanwhile, the mambo is the latest dance craze to sweep the nation bringing with it the song Papa Loves Mambo.

Like him or hate him, there is little doubt that Howard Stern has a large and dedicated audience, and he wields a huge influence. This past week Stern appeared on the David Letterman Show. Sterns appearances typically create large audiences for the Late Show as they are promoted on Sterns radio show on Sirius, as well as loved by Late Show viewers. This last appearance was no different, and one newly launched company will be forever grateful the Stern is Stern, because he promoted their product on the show. The press release from NodorO is interesting to say the least, and represents classic Howard Stern

All Mediaâ€, radio shock jock Howard Stern has for over twenty years been the most celebrated, controversial, and perhaps annoying radio personality in history; no one in the business has been more lewd and outrageous. Stern’s daily on-air antics are the stuff of legend, and have propelled him into the upper echelon of celebrity. But such popularity is not without its price. Over the years, Stern has been publicly chastised by various groups and individuals (the Christian Coalition has been a particularly painful thorn in his side), and the stations on which he broadcasts have paid heavy fines to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Despite such setbacks, Stern has been consistent in his daring and has not backed down or changed his routine. And for his unwavering dedication to bringing listeners lowbrow entertainment, loose morals, and countless nude lesbians, Stern has earned the loyalty of millions.

APRIL 8--In another broadside at Howard Stern, the Federal Communications Commission today fined Clear Channel Communications a whopping $495,000 for last year's broadcast of an allegedly indecent bit on the King of All Media's popular radio program. Acting on a listener complaint, the FCC hammered Clear Channel over an April 2003 broadcast during which Stern and his cohorts discussed their sexual practices and the use of a personal hygiene product called "Sphincterine." Included in the commission's notice of liability--which cites 18 alleged indecency violations--was a transcript of the offending broadcast, a copy of which you'll find below. Until late-February, Clear Channel aired the shock jock's show on six of its stations. But the radio star was abruptly dumped after Clear Channel concluded that Stern's February 24 broadcast violated the media giant's new zero-tolerance decency standards. Last month, Infinity Broadcasting (which employs Stern and airs his show nationwide) was fined $27,500 for a "graphic and explicit" July 2001 Stern show.

Howard Stern started his career as a field worker, picking up strawberries with his huge nose. He ... worked as a correspondent on the Jay Leno show. He would later have his own radio, called the Howard Stern Show. Basically the show was more or less a rip off of Jay Leno's show. Howard denied he ever took anything from Jay Leno or the very edgy Ryan Seacrest. Though Howard did steal Kevin Ubanks from the Tonight Show, and brought him in as a news reporter.
