I think Opie & Anthony are ten times funnier than Stern, so how come they dont get paid anything even remotely close to what Stern makes? I thought talent was supposed to be rewarded. There is no justice in this world. I cannot believe Howard Stern made the new Forbes list of the richest celebrities. It is incredible that Stern makes a montrous salary of $31 million/yr. How in the hell did that Big Bird lookalike get to dominate New York's morning drivetime ratings for 20 years?

The Forbes list was for most POWERFUL entertainers, not richest.

As to your other points, I don't have the energy to discuss them, either pro or con.




Don’t get me wrong, I am not fighting to uphold the restraints that give protection to rights fully accrued upon facts so nearly permanent as to be substantially impervious to change, rather I am for the supervision of changing conduct or conditions and are thus provisional or tentative.

Why would somebody waste their time posting a useless thread in the wrong section on the board? Oh that's right, he's a retard, who joined the board today! I smell a rat. Go to the "Enemies of the Show" thread and post your uselessness there.

Let's try something here...

Dude, if you look at the topics, I think you'd see this belongs in the enemies of the show forum. Keep that in mind, and you'll get better discussion next time.

Gee, was that so hard? You don't have to club every first offender over the head. Unless you WANT to get rid of him after one post and one mistake. Seems like adoption has turned into ABORTION.

Now, even though he misunderstood the meaning of the list, Howard makes that kind of money because he generates 100 times that. He didn't always broadcast like this you know. People dont't pay that much for people who suck from the get go. There was a time he was one of the ONLY ones doing this type of show, and doing it better than anyone. That's where he earned his bones and paid his dues. (FCC) You younger guys don't seem to understand that Howard's show was a fine tuned machine at one point. It's apparent that a lot of you have never heard him at his best. That was when he opened the doors for guys like O&A. Why do you think they give him his broadcasting props? Because he always sucked?

Do some research and you'll answer your own questions.

Can you help FANDICK find his name?

By selling out to Hollywood. The irony is that nobody in Hollywood "bought" Stern's bullshit.

Look, I think O&A are by far funnier then Stern too, but I think this is a really dumb question. Howard has been doing great in radio for years, while O&A have only been syndicated for one. It takes time to get paid that much money. If O&A made that list, half the people reading it would have said, "Who the fuck are these guys". Howard has peaked, no doubt about it, but he still gets ratings and has been doing it for a long time. See what the list says in ten years.



“The window burns to light the way back home. A light that warms no matter where they've gone. They're off to find the hero of the day. But what if they should fall by someone's wicked way. Still the window burns. Time so slowly turns. And someone there is sighing. Keepers of the flames. Do ya feel your name? Can't you hear your babies crying? Mama they try and break me. Still they try and break me. 'Scuze me while I tend to how I feel. These things return to me that still seem real. Now deservingly this easy chair. But the rocking stopped by wheels of despair. Don't want your aid. But the first I've make. For years can't hold or feel. No, I'm not all me. So please excuse me. While I tend to how I feel. But now the dreams and waking screams. That ever last the night. So build the wall, behind the crawl. And hide until it's light. So can you hear your babies cryin' now? Still the window burns. Time so slowly turns. And someone there is sighing. Keepers of the flames. Do ya feel your name? Can't you hear your babies crying?” - Metallica
