SJWs & Deplorables ready to cancel Howard Stern

A video appeared online showing Stern in minstrel-style makeup, liberally using the N-word. It was cut together with a recent appearance on “The View” during which he claimed he’d never used that word.

Sources tell Page Six that the clip — a skit that seems to take aim at Ted Danson’s infamous 1993 blackface performance with then-girlfriend Whoopi Goldberg — was part of Stern’s “New Year’s Rotten Eve Pageant,” which aired on pay-per-view on December 31 that year.

He’ll be fine. He was the support of the elites and the anti-woke crowd on his side.

He brings in too much money for Sirius to cancel their cash cow.

by Anonymousreply 1June 13, 2020 4:14 PM

If everyone else is getting canceled , so should he. His performative woke was makes me literally ill.

by Anonymousreply 2June 13, 2020 4:15 PM

So did they already cancel Ted Danson?

by Anonymousreply 4June 13, 2020 4:19 PM

Whoopi and Ted should be canceled .

by Anonymousreply 5June 13, 2020 4:20 PM

Howard's making fun of someone doing blackface, so it's a satirical, meta-blackface. Dumb knee-jerk liberals.

by Anonymousreply 6June 13, 2020 4:26 PM

THERE IS NOTHING OFFENSIVE ABOUT THIS VIDEO.

Again, like John Cleese, Stern was making fun of racists or racist behavior, NOT ENDORSING IT.

Fuck this P.C. bullshit.

by Anonymousreply 7June 13, 2020 4:29 PM

Howard Stern really doesn’t give a shit. Let these idiots on the right and left cancel him. He’s worth 800 million. Y

by Anonymousreply 8June 13, 2020 4:34 PM

As someone who knows people who work on that show, Stern's staffers are definitely going to start leaking embarrassing things about him in the press. His team is full of Rumpster Deplorables, so I know they were pissed about their boss going after their dear leader. As much as Howard was right about what he said, he's going to end up paying the price for saying it. His ship is a lot leakier than he believes it is.

by Anonymousreply 9June 13, 2020 4:35 PM

R7, the context doesn’t matter. What matters is that he’s in blackface repeatedly using the N word. If he were a republican he would have been fired years ago over this shit.

Fire his ass! And I say that as someone who was a fan before his PC rebirth.

by Anonymousreply 10June 13, 2020 4:36 PM

Howard has had a black on-air costar for 39 years. And Robin will defend him no matter what...so this isn’t going to go anywhere.

by Anonymousreply 11June 13, 2020 4:37 PM

Can you be in favor of not cancelling Howard Stern while also finding his horribly racist video from 1993 not even remotely funny?

by Anonymousreply 12June 13, 2020 4:40 PM

He's a rabid Zionist turd who has said awful, racist things about Palestinians and blindly defends Israel and that's NOW - had he said some of the things he did about any other group, he would've been gone long ago. I'm talking vile racism and bigotry.

He's also an easily triggered Zionist, too. It's actually pathetic what a hypocrite he is.

by Anonymousreply 13June 13, 2020 4:40 PM

Howard thrives on controversy and his super improv skills to talk back to anything hurled at him will serve him well.

by Anonymousreply 14June 13, 2020 4:42 PM

R9, who are you talking about? That fucking ugly moron Benji? That old idiot Ronnie?

by Anonymousreply 15June 13, 2020 4:42 PM

Please, no one he works with will leak anything. He’s their meal ticket and they know it.

by Anonymousreply 16June 13, 2020 4:43 PM

Howard could start his own streaming or radio service and millions of his fans would follow. He could end up being even wealthier because of this if he gets cancelled and is forced to do that.

by Anonymousreply 17June 13, 2020 4:45 PM

Plus he's like 90% of the receipts at his agency Don Buchwald. Howard is a lot of people's meal tickets.

by Anonymousreply 18June 13, 2020 4:45 PM

R17, I doubt his following today is even that big. He’s not funny anymore.

by Anonymousreply 19June 13, 2020 4:46 PM

R19 SirusXM isn’t paying him $90M a year because he has shit ratings.

by Anonymousreply 20June 13, 2020 4:49 PM

[quote]Howard could start his own streaming or radio service and millions of his fans would follow.

No he couldn't. That would require him actually opening his wallet. As it is, he refuses to hire funny people because they cost too much. He has bottom-of-the-barrel writers who make phony phone calls.

by Anonymousreply 21June 13, 2020 4:49 PM

Sirius didn’t exist when Howard took a chance on them and left terrestrial radio to gamble on an unproven format. Howard MADE satellite radio and they owe their success to him. He’s not getting cancelled from Sirius in this lifetime.

by Anonymousreply 22June 13, 2020 4:49 PM

R22 Exactly and with Spotify who the fuck needs SiriusXM anymore without original content... what are people going to pay for... RadioAndy?

by Anonymousreply 23June 13, 2020 4:52 PM

R23, and most people wouldn’t even know RadioAndy exists except for the fact that he’s constantly appearing on Howard’s show.

by Anonymousreply 24June 13, 2020 4:57 PM

Didn't he write a recent book where he berated himself for stuff like this? Lots of therapy made him the better man he is today and so on and so forth.

by Anonymousreply 25June 13, 2020 4:57 PM

Are these people 12? Everyone knows Howard’s past. It’s not like they’re unearthing anything new. There’s 20 years worth of radio. Things are really getting out of hand. There’s going to be massive backlash against the movement.

by Anonymousreply 26June 13, 2020 4:59 PM

Cancel him - what does he care? He has half a billion dollars and a 10 million dollar apartment in NYC. He has been threatening to retire for years.

by Anonymousreply 27June 13, 2020 5:08 PM

R27 he has almost a billion.

by Anonymousreply 28June 13, 2020 5:10 PM

r28 even more reason to not care. He he wants to say he never said the N word he is lying though. I heard him. He used to say it when NWA was big. He would say he could use the word NIGGA, that he was given permission but not NI##ER because of Rap Music. He slowly tapered off of that but he would say all the time "whats up my nigga."

Just saying - and I am a Howard fan so not bashing him just correcting him.

by Anonymousreply 29June 13, 2020 5:14 PM

The video was bizarrely prophetic.

by Anonymousreply 30June 13, 2020 5:15 PM

R26, He was on The View recently swearing that he never said The N word! Never!

Sunny Houston didn’t’t buy it.

by Anonymousreply 31June 13, 2020 5:15 PM

Howard's best friend in the world is Robin. She might be the person he trusts most with his life. He would do absolutely anything for her and vice versa. When Robin was sick, Howard was completely distraught. Cancellation denied.

by Anonymousreply 32June 13, 2020 5:15 PM

R32 "He has a black friend" cancellation rejection dismissed.

by Anonymousreply 33June 13, 2020 5:17 PM

Don’t conflate SJWs and Deplorables! Also, only a deplorable would use SJW and nobody cares what you people think anymore!

by Anonymousreply 34June 13, 2020 5:24 PM

Candace Owens is also a lot of white people's "friend." WTF does that even mean when people bring up Robin? And BTW, what asshole decided that simply NOT being racist towards black people exclusively means it's OK that it's open season on ANY other group? I'm so fucking sick of these standards where it's not OK to be racist or bigoted toward black people or Jews, but Asians or Arabs, Hispanic, Muslims....it's fine. Like no one else is human or gets attacked.

Howard himself has said that he has no real issue with Trump which shows what a selfish prick he is. Of course he doesn't, because Trump has fucking bent over backwards for Israel, but it's OK with Howard that he has said vile things about other groups. In his mind, Roger Waters his worse than Hitler for speaking up against Israel's human rights violations and tells Natalie Portman to STFU because she didn't want to be at an event with Netanyahu...but Trump was just fine to Howard up until his handling of Covid. And even now, he doesn't have vitriol in his voice towards Trump the way he does others who've done to warrant that venom.

by Anonymousreply 36June 13, 2020 5:33 PM

Sherman Hemsley objected to using the term honky at some point. He must have really needed the money to do this skit.

Is it wrong that I laughed out loud watching it because it was so outrageous? Basically they were just making fun of the foolishness of Whoopi and Ted thinking they could get away with this racist stuff because she was black and wrote the whole thing.

by Anonymousreply 37June 13, 2020 5:34 PM

I think people really need to look at each cancellation with a subjective lens (not Dunham) instead of knee jerk reaction. I would say, is this person really coming from a bad place, are they a decent person now? I don't think Howard is one of the bad guys. I wonder how many people actually take the time to view, research, or read about whatever is that they are cancelling. Where is the grey area in life. It's not all clear cut.

by Anonymousreply 38June 13, 2020 5:36 PM

He should be canceled for his hair alone. He's like a nasty old uncle who's also a pervert.

by Anonymousreply 39June 13, 2020 5:38 PM

This just in: Satire is cancelled!

All jokes have been banned; however, if you have a signed permission slip from the comic and audience, dad humor and re-enactments of Family Circus cartoons are permitted.

by Anonymousreply 40June 13, 2020 5:41 PM

Howard would only apologize for this if Robin says it’s offensive and that he should. But she will absolutely defend him and say that people need to grow up and recognize that it’s satire.

by Anonymousreply 41June 13, 2020 5:48 PM

This is a page right from the Deplorables playbook.

Someone comes out against Trump and the Deplorables are all butt hurt that someone has the temerity to speak out against their Orange Hitler-God. So they start digging through their past and find something that will stir up the woke-SJW-cancel crowd. They get their enemies silienced and keep their hands clean. And of course the woke crew is too dumb to realize time and time again they are being played.

by Anonymousreply 42June 13, 2020 5:49 PM

R15 I don't want to say who I know, because I don't want to get in trouble for naming names. The last time I told some specific juicy dirt on this site, I almost got sued. Let's just say it isn't anyone who is prominent on the show, but people who work behind the scenes and make the show run. A lot of the staffers have been planning their exit because they believe Howard will retire within the next five years. Many of them are hoping Fox will hire them, so by helping the Rumpster's efforts to damage Stern, they believe they will be rewarded with future employment in conservative media. Plus, I know that nazi clown James O'Keefe has been emailing some of them trying to get dirt and many of them are ready to spill. Howard needs to watch out because there are some snakes in his lawn. He feels that he treats them well, so they will reward him with their undying loyalty. He is wrong to assume that and he's going to be in for a world of hurt when he finds out who in his midst is ready to stab him in the back.

I think it's pretty gross that ANYONE supports Trump. The people you know are low-life individuals - regardless of their disdain for Howard. No genuinely decent person could support Trump, so they're total trash regardless of their connection to Howard.

by Anonymousreply 45June 13, 2020 6:04 PM

Maybe Howard should just take over for Ellen when she gets cancelled. Will the frauen love his fart humor and misogyny?

by Anonymousreply 46June 13, 2020 6:06 PM

R45 It's not like I'm friends with them. It's just that, through people I know personally, I know them. They gossip like we do here and I've personally heard some really embarrassing stories about Howard, like how he had a conversation with one of the producers mocking Robin Williams days before he died and then acted all remorseful about how he treated him on the show the next day after his death was announced. They are not very discrete at all. I also know that they are angry at Howard for trashing the Rumpster, saying he betrayed his audience, that he's a sell out liberal and a Hollywood phony. A lot of them are ready to get their revenge, which is why I said what I said. They are deplorable, but on the other hand, Howard knows of their political views and still said what he said on the air. I think he just figures that they'll stay loyal to him no matter what, considering he's the reason many of them are employed in the first place. He's wrong to assume this.

by Anonymousreply 47June 13, 2020 6:10 PM

Howard's contract ends at the end of the year. He has no intention of going back to the studio anytime soon, he's broadcasting from home and the show has taken a hit as a result. Between his despair about the state of the country, his fear of Covid and the stories coming out now he might decide to hang it up.

by Anonymousreply 48June 13, 2020 7:01 PM

It still amazes me how homophobic someone can be or how they can be racist to Asians (Howard AND Robin were doing Chinaman voices like two months ago...) and nothing happens, but anything towards blacks and the end of the world is occurring. It’s Equality for ALL not Revenge for Blacks.
