Between contrived reality TV and soulless celebrities unable to admit their flaws even as they issue fake apologies, popular culture is starved for humanity.

It also wasn’t anything you’re likely to hear on radio or most other entertainment forums. Humanity among the fart jokesLange’s story wasn’t crass or pornographic. They tell him it only matters that he’s OK now. Sound guy Fred Norris plays Steppenwolf’s “The Pusher.” Stern groans, saying it’s like the time he overdosed on acid and his friend kept playing the Grateful Dead. Stern says he’ll share a worse revelation: Now that he’s 52, his pants are constantly urine-stained from dribbles. There are moments Lange chokes, falls silent, or mumbles it’s something he shouldn’t have said. How he fell back into the habit while doing a stand-up tour the shows he missed in 2005 the withdrawal sickness and the toll it took on his family and girlfriend. “You know how something pops in your head and you want to be honest because you know it’s so entertaining and interesting and then you just blurt something out …. “I remember you said this to me one time,” Lange says to Stern. Quivers: “And we’re going to get to the bottom of that.”Īnd they do. His parents have given up on him and he’s very worried about his future. On occasion, the kid has turned to prostitution. Lange is particularly empathetic to a 21-year-old heroin addict. The winner gets a lap dance from a couple of strippers. Lange's slip comes during a segment in which three homeless men compete for the saddest life story. Allowed to bloom beyond terrestrial confines, “The Howard Stern Show” is arguably the best radio on the airwaves and possibly the best it’s ever been. It’s what copycat shock jocks can’t duplicate. But to echo pretty much every highfalutin Stern proponent ever – it’s this intangible community that makes the “Stern Show” great. No doubt many that followed Stern to Sirius are there for Jameson and her peers or the in-depth discussions on bodily functions.

Very little is sacred on “The Howard Stern Show.” Every in-house conflict or personal issue warrants full audience disclosure. But Lange’s confession to recent heroin use while in Stern’s employ, seemingly a surprise to even Stern, was different.

Hilarious anecdotes such as scoring cocaine in full pig makeup while on the cast of Fox’s “MadTV,” or his accidental hookup with a prostitute, are “Stern Show” staples, repeatedly referenced since Lange replaced Jackie Martling on Stern’s cast in 2001. His substance abuse problems were never a secret. And “Stern Show” wack packers “Crazy” Alice and “Elegant” Elliot Offen phoned in their weekly football picks, spewing expletives and insults with every call.Ĭompared to such antics, Lange’s confession is tame. Porn star Jenna Jameson inaugurated the in-studio Sybian, a saddle-like sex toy since utilized by many female guests - including Blue Iris, a geriatric sex star in her own right. During the first Sirius year, comedy writer Richard Christy had his genitals waxed on air, his howls and shrieks delighting the Stern cast and audience.
