Looks like you don't know the first thing about Howard Stern.

Really? I think he nailed it.

I've listened daily for the last 10 years and I can shed some light.

  > "The Interviews are more interesting if the person is naked."

This is absolutely not true. The best and most interesting interviews are the celebrity interviews, not the porn stars. Does Howard actually think he's going to get Denise Richards to take her top off? No. It's a tactic just like the tactics in this article. She says no the the extreme, but will compromise with something more tame but still revealing.

  > "If you don't have to follow the broadcast rules, you can ask questions nobody else can."

I agree with this, and I love that he can.

  > "If you hire a black female as your co-host people won't be so quick to call you a racist or sexist."

This sounds like it may work, but clearly doesn't. Howard has always been a supporter of race equality, gender equality and gay rights, but he's constantly viewed as a racist, sexist homophobe. Infact, when asked, people would rather date Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, "The Boston Bomber" than Howard Stern (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLF7SCNHctE)

Hey nowwwwwww!

I'd like to add that it's true that now that Howard is on Sirius he can be more graphic in his questions, but even when he was on terrestrial radio he asked questions nobody else did.

It's also quite clear to anyone who's a fan of the show that Robin was not hired so that Howard could get away with racism or sexism. Robin wasn't even hired by Howard when they first met.
