He is a 'shock jock' - the original and never bettered. To be as good as Stern you need to be deeply intelligent, incisive, witty, and very very quick thinking - and no-one beats him. His live show is often breath-taking in its lapses of taste - he once heard a news item that a plane had crashed on take-off from Kenedy Airport, and in the time it takes to dial, he was querying the cost of a ticket from JFK to the Potomac river ... one way!
He is what he is - he makes no apologies, he loves his wife and children, and is seriously good at what he does.
Like he says, don't like it? Spin the dial ...
