Ugh. I said a few weeks ago that American Idol is bigger than Simon Cowell and would go on if they picked a new judge to replace him. But I take it back. At least for me, American Idol is dead if the new judge is Howard Stern. He may be a nice, normal guy in real life (like Simon supposedly) but I can’t stand Howard’s schtick.

Me and My wife agree on this one. If Howard Stern is the new judge we wouild never watch Idol again. I can’t believe that they would consider it.

If he ends up on the show, my Idol days are done. I despise him enough to never watch the show again.

UHuuuuuh, PEEUKE first then Hide the grannies( their hearts would explode)!
Then go get the kids, and put them in front of the TV, just in case they haven’t yet increased their vocabulary ……it’s an education for bullies
in training, and for the kids too kool for school, thugs, and other miscreants!!

Howard Stern? Ew. Way to lose your audience base. Neil Patrick Harris would be very good if he’d do it.

First time I’ve ever listened to Howard Stern. The woman sidekick is pretty bad, too. Like an evil Ed Mcmahan. She’s fauning all over him. Can’t see idol going ahead with this.

“It would be the best thing that happened to me,” he said. “What a cush job — $100 million for four months. Who wouldn’t take that?”

Can’t argue that!!!

typical howard crap….adam “f-cked up” and tanked his career, but Howard could have straightened him out (riiiighhhht); he never would have put kris through (riiiighhht); he would have told carrie to lose weight (jerk); he would have old fantasia to get her sh-t together…ok then.

Wow I must have zoned out while listening to the “endless rant” MJ posted, I didn’t hear anything about Adam or Kris. I’ll take your word for it that it was there, I’m not listening again!

Well, that’s one way to tank their ratings quickly. I can’t give this any credence at all. I find the man so repulsive that I automatically change the station/channel if I hear even a couple words out of his mouth. The stigma he has created for himself is way too big for the idol audience to embrace him and I don’t see a whole new demographic suddenly tuning in to make up for the loss. So, yeah, pure publicity stunt.

I sure hope it is. I can’t believe Simon would indeed consider him. The show airs at 8 p.m., when a lot of kids are still up; so why would they want him on the show? I’m sure the contestants have learned to brace themselves for Simon; but I don’t know how it would feel to have someone critique me that cannot talk without getting bleeped.

I can’t see Fox taking the risk on this jerk not matter what AI wants. He lives to shock and could give a crap about rules or networks. What are they going to do, move AI to Showtime or HBO? He needs to get over himself cause the rest of the country already has. This happens and that’s the end of AI. It’s a family show – how many people want their kids watching Stern.

Howard Stern is a series of huge FCC fines waiting to happen. How can anybody think that Rupert would seriously consider giving him a weekly platform on LIVE television? His old terrestrial radio show was fined repeatedly.

I know that this is never happening, but i actually think it makes the show more of a joke to even discuss it.

Oh I “get” him alright. It doesn’t take too many brain cells to figure out his MO. I still can’t stand him though. Lol! He might be good for one episode and then he would become tedious and grating imo. Anyway, Idol ratings are still very high considering it is in it’s 9′th season. They need someone with musical/music industry credibility if they plan on surviving after Simon leaves. If they go with the right person the show will continue to thrive I think.

He’s raunchy and adolescent, yes, which sometimes makes him hard to listen to.

That’s exactly why he will never be hired for IDOL, a show watched primarily by women and tween/teen children.

2- How will the AI makeup artists ever manage to make him look human?

LOL. They will never be able to make him look human! No one can see what he looks like on the radio!

I love Howard Stern. Most people who hate him IMO simply do not “get” him. He’s raunchy and adolescent, yes, which sometimes makes him hard to listen to. He does not kiss up to anyone and hates anyone who thinks they’re too good to be made fun of. I think Idol’s ratings will go through the roof if he joins the show.
