Andy Dick vs. Howard Stern

Andy Dick's antisemitic rant at Howard Stern - Entertainment - The Arts - TODAY.com


This is interesting. Apparently Andy Dick said some possibly career ending Anti-Semitic things about Howard Stern. The funny thing is that Stern seems to have really been offended and hurt. By no means am I making light of Anti-Semitism, but given that Stern makes a good part of his living saying really vile things about people (the little I have listened to him, he casually said things about African Americans I found very offensive,) I am shocked that he would be hurt by a few slurs, especially from a man who most in showbiz consider a loser.

Andy Dick and Howard Stern have a long history. He's always been a very entertaining guest on Stern's show. I bet Howard is more upset that Andy exhibited this kind of sentiment toward him when Howard was one of the only people around that continued to have him on their show. I bet its more about the strain on their relationship than the actual remarks. Just my take as a long time fan of Stern.

Yep. That makes a lot of sense in light of the personalities involved.

Andy Dick still has a career? He hasn't been amusing since News Radio.

Ugh, sad and pathetic. I actually liked him on The Ben Stiller Show (that was an obscure gem, as I recall) and News Radio.

*Talk Radio was a movie starring Eric Bogosian.

I have. I liked listening for a while, but he just started annoying me more and more. For a guy who claims to pull no punches, he sure is whiny. Especially with his staff--I had zero interest in hearing him bitch them out or complain that his egg white omelette hadn't been delivered yet. Or how he and his girlfriend had to wait for their table despite having a reservation. If the whole show was interviews, musical performances and some comedy bits, it would be much better. The in-house stuff is boring.

Yeah I agree the in-house stuff gets old. Just the news with Robin and his interviews would make it a top notch show. Just him, Fred, Robin, and Jackie/Artie/? would make it a kick ass show. The stuff with Sal, some of the extended whack pack stuff is just meh, and I'm back to listening to music.

Stern seemed better to me before he moved to Sirius.

I've had Sirius for a couple years now and I find I go through stern spurts. Jason Ellis too. But mostly I'm just driving around listening to mixes I've made and taking mental notes on any changes. Lately, with the credit ceiling, Europe, riots, uprisings, the political environment, and what not, I've been on a NPR and KPCC (not sure what that equates to for people in other parts of the country, but that's what it is here in LA), and a KPFK kick. But with that said, I find that I agree with that statement. Even with all the commercials before, there was a good tension going. I used to sit and park because I was getting distracted on occasion listening while driving. But with Sirius there are a fewer gems.

Oh yeah. This show can get insanely hilarious. I find I listen to it as much as Stern.

Yes, Unfortunately.
To me, Stern is just one of the many who love to wave their "It is all about free-speech" flag.
To me free-speech is all about the right to point out oppression and injustice without being retaliated against.
But it seems to me guys like Stern use that mantra to justify saying the F word anywhere, anyhow they want.
To me that is not freedom of speech.
Stern is just an idiot.

I've only heard Stern a few times since he switched to Sirius, but was an avid listener before that. I think Artie Lang is hilarious.

So why doesn't the King of All Media use his position to retaliate and absolutely humiliate Andy Dick?
