Shocking News: Howard Stern just received devastating news just now…….
The Workplace Rules of Howard Stern Describe in Detailed Exactly What It’s Like To Work For Him
These days, Howard Stern’s old-school fans refer to him as “Hollywood Howard.” This is because the opulently wealthy radio host has changed his image from being a shock jock to something more refined. Stern has been able to speak with some of the most well-known individuals in the world thanks to this innovative shift, which has been in the works for more than 20 years. Stern conducted an interview with President Joe Biden, something that was unthinkable during his politically incorrect past.
But Stern’s old-school fans don’t just criticize him because of his pivot. Stern used to be known as “the man of the people,” but these days he’s an A-list celebrity with high standards for his staff. This post will go over every guideline that employees of The Stern Show must adhere to.
Howard Stern Requires His Staff to Give Him Diapers
Howard Stern’s assistant always makes sure he has baby wipes on hand because he uses them in the restroom.
Before Howard Stern hired a helper, producer Gary Dell’Abate (Ba Ba Booey) was in charge of putting baby wipes in the restroom at his office. The same held true for Stern’s public appearances. Given that the wiping tool left him “cleaner” than toilet paper, Dell’Abate knew his boss had a soft spot for it.
These days, Stern’s personal assistant makes sure that baby wipes are always available in his office bathroom, home, and travel bag.
Employees of Howard Stern Are Prohibited From Discussing Former Coworkers Live
Some of Howard Stern’s most well-known employees have been let go, and their identities will not be discussed on the show.
Every wondered why Howard Stern or his current staffers almost never bring up the likes of Artie Lange, John The Stutterer, Scott The Engineer, or Shuli Egar? During an interview with actor and activist Michael Rappaport, Stern admitted that he doesn’t want his audience focused on who no longer works for him. Hence why he nor his stafers bring up their past colleagues while on the air. On occasion, Stern will let a name slip. Or he’ll poke fun at Jackie ‘The Jokeman’ Martling. But most of the time, past staffers’ contributions to the show are wiped from history. To this day, diehard fans don’t know what happened to Scott The Engineer.
Howard Stern Bans His Employees From Talking To Celebrity Guests
Stern Show Staffer Sal Governale Angered Numerous Celebrity Guests
There have been some pretty iconic show moments over the years that have involved a staffer crossing the line with a celebrity guest. Most of the time, that staffer is Sal Governale. The writer and phony phone call expert has been known to stick his foot in his mouth. And that’s precisely what he did when he met Jon Stewart.
For those who don’t remember, Governale told Stewart that he didn’t care for his comedy. In another incident, Governale insulted chef Bobby Flay and his ex-wife by being extremely inappropriate. Then there’s the Ace Frehley situation in which Governale tried to get his personal phone number.
Because of these incidents and so many more, Howard Stern banned his staffers from interacting with celebrity guests unless they are approached. This included former security guard, Ronnie ‘The Limo Driver’ Mund, who would accompany the stars from the SiriusXM lobby up to Stern’s studio.
On rare occasions, Stern lets staffers meet celebrities, but not before he’s assured that nothing inappropriate will happen. Stern is adamant about making sure his A-list guests are comfortable and that he doesn’t scare away any other potential interview subjects.
Howard Stern Refuses To Be Photographed At Certain Angles
Howard Stern has his producer Jason Kaplan photograph him for every press image
Howard Stern is extremely self-conscious about the way he looks. While he’s happy to make fun of other people’s appearances, Stern usually takes harsh shots at himself first. Because of this insecurity, the radio legend refuses to be photographed at certain angles… If he can help it, that is. During a June 25th, 2024 show, Stern revealed that he hates when photographers at events capture his image. This is because he usually towers above them due to his height. Therefore, the photographer is shooting up his nose, making him look even more “monstrous”.
Since Stern has to take photos with all of his celebrity guests, he employs producer Jason Kaplan to photograph him his way. According to both Stern and Kaplan, it took years to master the right angle. It involves a ladder and photographing Stern from the right-hand side.
In the June 25th, 2024 segment, Kaplan claimed that he is told to get any celebrity guest sitting for a picture with Stern to sit up straight. This is so Stern doesn’t look too much taller than they do.
Howard Stern Bans Staffers From Touching His Things Or Using His Washroom
Howard Stern is a germaphobe and doesn’t want other people touching his things
This specific Stern Show staff rule came about after producers/writers Sal Governale and Richard Christy snagged their bosses’ megaphone from his desk. The megaphone is a tool Stern uses in many of his bits, especially when he impersonates his parents. During a March 2006 show, Stern absolutely lost it on his two employees:
“Sal was running around here with a bad cold, using my megaphone in the halls.”
Stern went on to say…
Due to Howard Stern being a germaphobe, he demands that his staff respect his personal space and not touch his things. This includes the use of his private washroom in the SiriusXM compound.
Howard Stern Bans His Staffers From Using His Name In Public
Producer Gary Dell’Abate has used Howard Stern’s name to attend swanky events
Howard Stern hates when his staffers embarrass him or his organization. Therefore, Stern has made it a rule that his staffers can’t curry favors by name-dropping him. On his show, Stern has explained that he hates feeling like he owes people something. And that’s precisely how he feels when his employees are gifted experiences or special treatment just because of who they work for.
This employee rule is one of the reasons Stern put a stop to the infamous Ronnie Block Parties.
In another instance, Ronnie Mund was accused of using Stern’s name to be able to meet Jason Oppenheim from Selling Sunset.
Howard Stern also hates when his staffers embarrass him in public. This is precisely what happened when producer Gary Dell’Abate (AKA Ba Ba Booey) attended The Whtie House Correspondents dinner. At this, Dell’Abate approached Bradley Cooper and asked him if he would come to the SiriusXM table for a photo.
Following this, Stern annihilated Dell’Abate out on air. The moment has since become one of Ba Ba Booey’s greatest mess-ups. Even Bradley Cooper knew that Stern would be angry about it. During Cooper’s 2015 interview on The Stern Show, the radio legend explained why he was furious with Dell’Abate about using his name to get a photo with the Silver Linings Playbook star.
