My Friend Howard by Michael M. Martino Jr

My Friend Howard


For over 20 years, my morning routine has had only one real constant. Howard Stern.

I did not realize the impact of the habit until a couple of weeks ago, when Howard was on vacation and a special called "The History of Howard Stern, Act II" ran over two weeks on his eponymous Sirius Satellite Radio stations. And I loved every bloody second.

I heard bits, gags and tirades I had not heard since the 80s. The show had a very raw quality back then. Howard was hungry. He never seemed to stop talking.

Howard Stern changed the way talk radio is executed. The airwaves are chock full of imitators. Some are handsomely paid and damned great in their own right, too. But none would exist without the trails blazed by the fearsome Jew who grew up in Roosevelt and Rockville Centre. We have taken a ride through life with Howard and his co-host Robin Quivers. We have seen them be celebrated and reviled and become quite rich in the process.

Howard sounds like a wild man on those tapes. His voice is about three octaves higher and he is frantic in his quest to become the King of All Media. The equipment was not as good, the acoustics imperfect and the pace of the show faster and rebellious, like a petulant teenager. Howard was still a married man. He was dancing on the line of sin with his on-air exploits with strippers, porn stars and other people who from the proverbial dark side of life.

Listening was exciting.

Sashalee has been selected as Miss Howard TV February 2009


Sashalee has been selected as Miss Howard TV February 2009 for Howard Stern’s Howard TV On Demand (HTV). Sashalee, originally from a small town in upstate New York, is now based in New York City, where she is a model and actress. She has been in beauty pageants since she was 13 years old and won Miss Pre-Teen New York. At 18, she was in the Miss Hawaiian Tropic Pageant in Hawaii. Now 20, this stunning and lanky beauty is 5’8” and only 115 pounds. Still, she says that is not thin enough for some of the modeling gigs she seeks! We think she is just fine. She likes the world of beauty pageants and says that it has helped her gain poise and important contacts in the business. She is also studying Broadcast Journalism.



Sashalee was also featured in the Show in the Hallway, HTV’s new loosely scripted comedy series, in the episode starring Howard’s wife Beth Stern. During her interview on the “Howard Stern Show,” Howard grilled her on masturbation and her sex life and other tough personal questions. No wonder she says Robin Quivers is her favorite cast member. “She definitely had my back during the interview.”



Miss Howard TV spokesmodels are interviewed on “The Howard Stern Show” and then featured on Howard TV On Demand, where they introduce and give an overview of the monthly programming on the channel. Sashalee and previous spokesmodels are also profiled on http://www.howard.tv/missHowardTV.
