King of All Media Howard Stern looks back, repents, and rescues a few kittens in our June cover story. 'I want to take that guy and shake him,' he says about his past self. 'I was a selfish prick.” Click here to read the entire interview SIRIUSXM
hasn’t released a book in 24 years. Back in those days, he was a guy who didn’t think twice about calling Rosie O’Donnell a “fat pig”; using a giant, rotting fish as a mallet to spank a naked woman on the air; or viciously mocking a member of his “Wack Pack” with Down syndrome he’d dubbed “Gary the Retard.” On the cover of the book, he dressed as a drag queen, and inside he offered detailed accounts of his private cybersex sessions with fans.

I’m used to talking things through. Sitting down and actually being on my computer while the sun is shining outside is just brutal. It’s nothing I enjoy. It’s just revisions, revisions, revisions. But I always had an idea for an interview book because I thought it revealed more about me than the person I was interviewing, just based on the questions and where my head goes.I was obsessive about the ratings. I wanted to continue being number one.
I had to change when I got to SiriusXM. I couldn’t do an interview every day with a porn star. You can do that shit here. You can wipe people’s doody if you want. You can vomit on women if you want to, or men, whatever your thing is. They don’t care. It’s the Wild West. I wouldn’t go on the Reddit. You read that stuff as a performer, you will be stuck doing your greatest hits. I have a thin skin, so I don’t read it. But I know the rap with me. It’s like, “Wow, where’s the women squirting in Gary’s face?” “How come Howard isn’t taking rectal temperatures anymore?” We’re doing some of that, but as a human being it would be downright fucking creepy if I stayed the same. I’m no longer a 30-year-old man. I’ve changed. So there is no fucking way I can hold on.
So you don’t care that there’s a certain segment of the old audience who feel betrayed by the show now? This is the arrogance I had. Stupidity. They should come to me and talk to me about how to get it together. I’m exemplary. Well, I was a workaholic. I was a recluse. I wasn’t connecting on deep emotional levels. I couldn’t even connect with myself. How could I be in a marriage when I’m working 24/7? So then the divorce happens and I’m not in the house every night with them. Well, I panicked. I said, “I’m going to lose everything that’s important to me. I want my life to go right.
I don’t know how to deal with any kind of adversity like this. I’m the guy who somehow has a psychological promise with his mother that if I behave myself, she’ll make everything good. There’s still a little boy in me that believes that. When at first the guy said chemotherapy, I was in complete shock. There’s no fucking way. And then this fucking unbelievable guy, Dr. Agus, comes in my life and goes, “Get that mercury level checked.” I go, “Really? Could it be that simple?” It was a 37.
Radio’s Best Duo: Stern with sidekick Robin Quivers in 2014. “Robin and I never look at each other during the show,” he says. “I want to hear her.” Photo credit: Mike Coppola/Getty Images You also write in the book about your quest to interview Hillary Clinton during the 2016 campaign. Why wouldn’t the campaign do it? We tried to book her for a Rcover, and she wouldn’t do that even though we endorsed her and had all the Democratic candidates during past presidential campaigns.
I was literally at Mar-a-Lago having dinner with my wife when I heard about this. I was laughing because I knew the history of Donald. Donald first used to announce that he was running for president the first couple of times because he had to sell a book. So each time he would announce he was running for president, and it would drive up the book sales. It would be like if I floated a ridiculous story that I was running for president.
You recently went on a tear about Wendy Williams when she criticized you for going “Hollywood.” You called her a “cunt,” ripped into her for about 30 minutes, but it didn’t appear on any of the rebroadcast. What happened?I did. I really got caught up in the moment. I didn’t think it was my finest hour. Some of my fans might think so. But I was reacting to someone who was accusing me of … I don’t even know. I just didn’t like her fucking attitude.
