Howard Stern television shows

Résumé
Howard Stern is an American radio personality who is best known for his radio show The Howard Stern Show. Stern (along with his followers) describes himself as the "King of All Media" for his successes in the radio, television, film, music and publishing industries. On April 16, 1987, a meeting was held between Stern and management of WNYW, the flagship television station of the fledgling Fox network. The network was considering Stern as a replacement to The Late Show hosted by Joan Rivers in its 11:00 PM hour. Five one-hour pilots titled The Howard Stern Show were recorded at a cost of about $400,000. They featured rock guitarist Leslie West of Mountain as bandleader and Steve Rossi as announcer and singer. By early June, air dates were yet to be scheduled; the pilots were instead being tested among focus groups in California. With no formal announcement, the network cancelled the series in July. Paul Noble, the former executive producer for WNYW, was never told of Fox's decision. "By today's standards, they were absolutely tame." He also said, "They were not the kind of thing that a local New York television station was prepared to get involved with at that time. It was more like off-the-wall radio." The Howard Stern Show (WWOR-TV) The Howard Stern "Interview" was a late-night talk show that ran for 35 episodes on the cable TV channel E! Entertainment Television from November 27, 1992. The show featured Stern hosting a half-hour, one-on-one interview with a celebrity guest without an audience, and were known for being intimate and personal with questions that celebrities were not normally asked. Stern said the show was "not phony" and presented an alternative to the "same dull format" of other talk programs. Stern announced the show at a press conference at the Plaza Hotel in New York City on October 21, 1992. He agreed to do it in order to focus on his interviewing skills, and to prove to the "network morons" that he could do a show that "wasn't 'dirty'" and still get strong ratings.
