Stuttering John
Jonathan Rowe on Oct 9th 2008
In case you don’t know, he’s presently the announcer for Jay Leno’s Tonight Show. But he used to hold a much less respectable position working on Howard Stern’s show. I love iconoclastic humor. Here are some notable clips of guilty laughs:

Oh man, that really brings me back. I used to absolutely love those Stuttering John interviews, and they still hold up strong. Hell, Ted Williams is one of my idols, and that bit still makes me laugh.
Jonathan, do you still listen to Howard on Sirius? I went with XM so I could listen to O&A and [especially] Ron and Fez. But now with the merger, and the majority of the bad blood between the two shows (O&A and Howard) gone (for the most part), I’m seriously considering updating my XM service to receive Best of Sirius. I haven’t listened to Howard since he left FM, but I’ve started to feel nostalgic of late.
i used to listen to howard religiously in through the 90’s. it was a mutual habit of my father and myself. then i got married and had a kid and life , naturally, led to other things.
i talked all the time to my wife about howard when i was a listener. she surprised me with a sirius subscription almost 2 years ago for xmas… it will be my favorite xmas gift of all time.
i am a dedicted listener once again. my dad (huge mlb fan) has xm. i used to make fun of him for not having howard until the merger. he now gets the bonus and we have had so many laughs already in the last week.
anyway…. get it. no brainer.
Downey should have hit him sooner and harder.
I actually never got around to getting Sirius. I might one day; but now I listen to a lot of YouTube clips. I’m just busy with other stuff. If I weren’t, I’d probably have Sirius.
I remember the whole Downey fight, a classic. Downey had just declared bankruptcy and threw this party and SJ’s first question was “how are you paying for this, we thought you were bankrupt?”
