I could never do a show, or be a personality like Howard Stern, where you take all that heat from critics. What he does, he does, but the critical heat would crucify me.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
People are so nice, you know. It's such a credit to Howard Stern - the audience base that he created is such a special thing. It took him a long time to create this family of fans, and I was lucky to be a part of that for a while.
In my next life, I would like to be Charlie Rose or Howard Stern or maybe something in between.
You want good ratings, you want people to like the show, you want to be appreciated for the hard work you put in. You don't always get it. Every show is not beloved.
There's not a lot of other stuff I admire about his content, but there's something about Howard Stern and his perseverance in a very difficult industry. He does tickle me in certain ways with humor.
I like a certain style of show, I like a certain pace, I like a rhythm, I like a lot of comedy in with my drama.
I would not ever try to be a show intellectual, which I was accused of doing a while on ABC. I thought you were supposed to read the guests' books.
I'm from New York, so I'm a big Howard Stern fan.
I love to listen to Howard Stern with the guy who drives me.
I think if you're too concerned with being cool or hip or liked, you can't really make good TV because sincerity and coolness are opposites.
Well, Howard Stern has been doing his impression of me for years. It doesn't really bother me.
