Where do you listen to the interviews? I was recently obsessed with finding the interview he did with Larry David, but could not find it anywhere. Someone posted it on YouTube when it originally aired, but it has since been taken down. I found no official channels to pay for access to his catalogue or anything.

If you're a SiriusXM subscriber there's a catalog of 252 interviews available on demand: https://player.siriusxm.com/ The list is also available without signing up here: http://www.siriusxm.com/servlet/Satellite?c=SXM_PageDetail_C...

If anyone would like to try it free for 30 days (full access to all streaming/on demand interviews etc., both through the web and their mobile apps) go here:

Howard Stern delivers arguably the best interviews you'll ever hear...assuming you are interested in any of the people that he has interviewed, you won't be disappointed.

If anyone was looking for a specific example, here's one I'm going through with Hugh Jackman. A lot about his character as Wolverine. Great example of Howard not being afraid to say anything, and still seeming to entertain the guest (I'd imagine there are interviews where this is the opposite). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPBuu63n8uc edit: okay well briefly about Wolverine. Now it's much more personal.

Hugh Jackman is the least noteworthy actor ever. He looks like wolverine, he has that going for him. Otherwise, pretty boring guy.

Last time I checked, the Kardashians got famous because of Kim's sex tape. Before that, I hardly think many people who know Kim, remember her far more famous dad Robert who was an attorney on the OJ case.

I always figured that most people that know of the Kardashians know of them as just some amorphous blob. I know the name, know they are famous for being famous, but couldn't tell you anything in particular about any of them. I don't even know how many there are, and until reading your post, didn't even make the connection to the OJ case.

To me, they're famous for South Park making fun of them all the time. Other than that, I couldn't tell you much about them.

NYT can't go a single, off-topic article without crap-smearing Trump. When a media outlet covers a person 100% negatively, at what point does its readership begin to realize there may be a conflict of interest? Or does the collective cognitive dissonance take care of that all by itself?

Maybe the media professionals at the NYT know that they're overdoing it, massively, and doing it anyway because they want Trump to win the presidency but also want plausible deniability?

Or maybe that's just what they want me to think and what they really...

Maybe it's all about Iocane Powder.

Simply can't stand Stern after all the weird lying and posturing shit he did regarding Anthony Cumia and Gregg Hughes.

I also have a strong distaste for Jewish and American aesthetics.

It's two sentences. You might be overreacting a bit.

The best part about this comment is that when he was originally cast the complaint was that he didn't look like Wolverine (and he was too tall)

I made a typical snarky baby boomer comment at a dinner about the talent of Lady GaGa in her meat dress days. Someone sent me a link to a performance of hers on Howard Stern. Told him now I have two reason not to listen to it ; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cce36nhHTP8 But I listened and was blown away. For those not listening Stern said after she was done that it was one of the best live performances in the histor…

GaGa is actually an incredibly talented singer and musician.

She just knows the value of heavy handed marketing (after her initial, more natural, career in NYC didn't take off she pivoted... and the rest is history)

Bill Murray has a legitimate problem most of us can't even imagine. He is a living legend. Every interaction he has is burdened by outsized expectations he cannot control. Where you deride, I feel only sympathy.

Living legend is a meaningless oxymoron. He's a successful actor, full stop. He has made lots of movies, some good some complete crap. What "legitimate problem" does he have? Shallow "meme culture" has built him up just as they have done with Betty White, Chuck Norris and bacon. He seems to be a individual who cherishes his privacy and shuns celebrity culture and for this mainstream media brands him "an enigma." This…

Murray was a legend before meme culture was a thing. Before all of those you listed.

Your youth is showing.

What an odd article to be posted on hacker news. Stern is the consumate shape shifting media personality, in turns erudite, vulgar, brash, sensitive - all to keep the listeners tuned in and consuming the ads. He's a variant of the Kardashians - famous for being famous having adopted the style of an eighties rock musician. Anything to stay in the limelight...

Last time I checked, the Kardashians got famous because of Kim's sex tape. Before that, I hardly think many people who know Kim, remember her far more famous dad Robert who was an attorney on the OJ case.

I think if no-one remembers her dad it's hard to say he's far far more famous.

In fact the OJ case would be his brief flirt with fame. He is rich and powerful but his fame is two note: OJ and his family.
