Now we know why Howard is doing so much Pre Promotion for AGT

[DogStar69]

Not because he is excited about the job, it's because he will get a bonus if the ratings go up.

[SiriusDawg]

I don't think the bonus has anything to do with it

Howard just has nothing else to talk about.

[jyanks]

It was funny when he said that he's bummed out that he's going against the Dancing with Stars finale, because he was hoping to get that demographic of viewers.
He's pretty bummed.

[DogStar69]

I don't think the bonus has anything to do with it

Howard just has nothing else to talk about.

But he's been going on a lot of talk shows to promote it too.

[isabella]

he claimed he didn't realize he was up against dwts...he's full of it.
he micromanages everything.

[Guts83]

Not surprised at all. Actually, it explains everything. Youd think sirius would intervene and make him say "eh eh eh"

Even if the ratings tank, im sure howard and his lawyers will find a way to get those bonuses.

[TehLivingDeath]

How the fuck is "Dancing With The Stars" even still on the air? Are people that bored with their lives?

Howard is just gross and disgusting at this point. I would have respected him more if he had just sold us coffee mugs or piss jugs with the fist logo on them. I feel like I have been robbed by a pick pocket. Fuck you Howard!

Me too, at least I could have wiped my ass with it! I would use my Sirius receiver but it might be a little rough. Howard has fucked us on a grand scale and we can't do shit about it.

[Popeye Saavedra]

Pretty much...this is why shows like The Kardashians, Jersey Shore, American Idol, AGT, etc., etc. are still on the air. Fuck even Whitney got renewed and we all know what a fucking train wreck that was.

Did he say that today? Chimney Portions called it earlier this weekend.

No, he would not be honest about this.

"I don't even watch DWTS anymore." 3.. 2.. 1.. "No! Melissa Gilbert got kicked off last week."

[Jon Hein is God]

How the fuck is "Dancing With The Stars" even still on the air? Are people that bored with their lives?

How the fuck is The Howard Stern Show even still on the air? Are people that bored with their lives?

Why the fuck do so many people watch soccer? It's the mind-numbingly boringest, shitiest sport out there?

To answer your Dancing question, people, especially hard-working people, just want to kick back and watch a mindless reality show for a couple hours.

It's just mindless escapism, just like the Howard Stern show.

Something to gossip about, something to be enthralled by.

Just like the Stern show.

Nothing wrong with that.

Personally, I watch Dancing because one of my favorite football players on my favorite team -- who is very much straight and who has watched every episode -- is one of the finalists this year.

Howard has got to be the greediest MF ever.....


Sterotypes are bad, but some believe there's some measure of truth in them.

Howard's greed puts his particular sterotype on a whole different level.

It's really kind of sad.

What's the other half? Even more Jewish.

[Uncle Larry]

Another reason to hope that ratings won't go up. Howard will try to count the stunt people on the car in that lame commercial as viewers to get those marbles.

[Senator Rick]

Hey -everybody keeps mentioning a bonus.
I don't listen to the show anymore.
Can someone post a link to a site confirming that NBC is paying him a bonus? And if they are paying him a bonus, what is it contingent upon?
That he doesn't take sick days?

Then there's Stern's payday. Telegdy and Buchwald declined to comment on what Stern is making, but it's been pegged at $15 million this season plus bonuses if ratings go up

http://www.denverpost.com/television/ci_20596533/howard-stern-talks-about-playing-nice-americas-got



That was no small gesture. The cost of uprooting the show from Los Angeles to New York is about $6 million, according to a person familiar with the matter. Then there's Stern's payday. Telegdy and Buchwald declined to comment on what Stern is making, but it's been pegged at $15 million this season plus bonuses if ratings go up, this person said.

wha wha what? :eek: you don't post over at that other place anymore
now i find out you don't even listen to the show ....are you EVEN human?

[Senator Rick]

WOW.
I just read this disturbing shit.


Stern is known for taking over any stage he occupies — as David Letterman can attest. "America's Got Talent" executive producer Jason Raff acknowledged initially having fears that Stern's over-the-top personality would overwhelm the show."That was very concerning," Raff said. So far though Raff said it hasn't been an issue. "He has been good at being gracious. I'm sure there are times when he pulls himself back."And if that changes?
"Sharon is no wallflower and will tell him to shut up," Raff predicted.

^
All I can say is that there is NO fucking way this will ever happen.
Howard intimidates the shit out of the lesser two.

By the way... is there any indication how Howie Mandel and Sharon Ozzy are reacting to Howard's 15 fucking million dollar pay-off -not counting the potential bonuses if the ratings crash the roof?

Sharon is a bitch and has no filter. She will tell Howard to take off his wig on live television.

[Nibbler]

"I don't even watch DWTS anymore." 3.. 2.. 1.. "No! Melissa Gilbert got kicked off last week."

Funny isn't it, how suddenly Howard no longer likes DWTS. He used to talk about it all the time. And Tom Bergeron used to be a friend and a regular guest on the show.

[DogStar69]

Because he is a phony hypocrite. He still watches, but won't acknowledge it because they are his competition now.

[tv910]

he claimed he didn't realize he was up against dwts...he's full of it.
he micromanages everything.

Exactly, he's a total fucking liar. A few weeks ago he claimed not to know what his competition was and they told him it was DWTS, Bachelorette, and the CBS season finales. You can tell by all the downplaying of expectations he did today that he's plenty nervous about it and the spin machine is going full throttle.

It's such a scumbag thing to do the way Howard dumps his "friends" when they are no longer useful to him.

[R.P. McMurphy]

...howard is all over plugging agt for 2 reasons. 1 because since he moved to sirius interest in him is probably down 80%, and 2, he wants the network to know his bitch in case they ever remake mister ed.

[Willowglen]

Strange that we didn't get weeks of reports on how great this seasons first two episodes of the Bachelorette were (they sent me an advanced copy Robin) this time.

He won't mention ABC shows anymore, unless it's to say something negative, but he still loves those women shows.

Perhaps we should tweet him, you know, to remind him the DWTS semifinals is tonight?:idea: :evil:

[wife is a whore]

This is why you don't tune in, just to get shit to pick apart on here. You wait until someone else finds and posts the youtube clips. You don't want to give the show extra ratings.

...we need to form a pact! trouble is, well im just surprised there hasnt been an agt viewing thread started already. i dont know how they gather ratings but the only thing i watch on network tv is sharktank and my local news. fine ass weather girl

[Asshley]

So he got this type of contract again? This is not going to end well. Because you know this chew bastard is going to end up counting ratings differently that NBC.

[LessMoonbeams]

From now on, nothing goes down unless I'm involved. No blackjack no dope deals, no nothing. A nickel bag gets sold in the park, I want in. You guys got fat while everybody starved on the street. Now it's my turn.

Old women who are like Howard love shows like that.


My 65 year old mother likes Howard (thanks to having me drive her around and being forced to listen back in the day). Still, she won't miss an episode of Dancing With the Stars. She'll join in the AGT fun when DWTS ends.

Let's not forget the The Bachelorette is starting up tonight too. All the shows he's raved about for years are up against him. :D
