A ground-breaking comedy/variety show created by Howard Stern and featuring the talents of Fred Norris, Robin Quivers, Gary "Bababooey" Dell' Abate and Artie Lang. The show is inspired and inventive, providing a minimum of 4 hours of fresh, witty entertainment 5 days a week. Though largely overlooked when rating "funny shows" or "funniest comedians", The Howard Stern Show, and Stern himself produce the equivalent of 4 HBO comedy specials a day, without the benefit of a year's prep time, or an HBO budget. The show has produced such characters as Crackhead Bob, Beetlejuice, High Pitch Eric, Wendy the Retard, Gary the Retard, and many others.
It is today what The Tonight Show used to be, for young comics in that if you do well, you will have a successful career. The characters and bits that the show is responsible for, either directly or indirectly, are endless. Although many politicians and media outlets like to dismiss the show's humour as puerile and irrelevant, the scope whereby pop culture and the radio broadcasting industry itself make the show, and the man, truly genius.

Love him or hate him, Howard Stern is the juggernaut of modern day radio. Propaganda aside numbers are the true test of his merit and that he is still very relevant after his move to Sirius. Before Stern 600,000 Sirius subscribers and at this time they are over 5,000,000 strong and closing in on XM who wasted money on Oprah with her 30 minutes a week on the air. I am sure not all the new subscribers are for Stern but a vast majority are and the buzz he created peeked the interest for the others. He may whine that people rip him off and he may have not have invented everything in morning radio he just perfected it.
Howard Stern brought over at least 2,000,000 subscribers to Sirius, Opie and Anthony brought thousands of listeners to XM.

While deeply constricted in his efforts to entertain as of late, Stern's show has become the new Mecca for comedians. Successful appearances can almost guarantee success to the comedian, where unsuccessful ones (See Jackie Martling) can virtually end a career.
