Dateline: July 3, 1998
Stern And The Loser Make Magic Happen!
As promised, Howard made his appearance on Magic Johnson's
new talk show Thursday night complete in-tow with his rag-tag band lovingly
known as "The Losers". The band's line-up consisted of Howard
on keyboard, Fred and Jackie on guitar, Scott the Engineer on drums, Robin
on tambourine, the farters, Maria, Jeremy and Jean-Paul and the two Garys
(Dell'Abate and Garver) on gas mask microphone detail to capture all of
the farters' sweet sounds.
Robin's laugh opened the 'Wipe Out" bit revealing a stage with
the band and the farters all lined up on a mat with featured farter, Maria,
standing in the middle. Kneeling besides her, Jean-Paul and Jeremy added
toots of sound to the song as it ripped.
Afterwards, Howard and Magic sat down and had a brief one-on-one interview.
"Let's get right to it. Why you been talking about me so much, man?"
Magic asked Howard. In true Stern style, Howard told Magic that the show
needed some work, to which Johnson somewhat reluctantly agreed. Then Howard
told band leader and ex-Prince (¦) lover, Shelia E., that she needed
to show more of her body, much like she did for Prince.
During the interview, Howard touched on Magic's lack of the use of Ebonics,
HIV and Magic's infamous booty call pool parties that came complete with
loads of beautiful woman. "I want to know about your life before HIV.
You have the life that I wanted," Howard said. You could see Magic
squirm a little bit as the booty call and HIV questions flowed. "...nobody
has fun getting HIV," Magic explained. "Believe me brother, you
did," Howard joked. Then Magic avoided the whole HIV situation altogether
by immediately changing the flow of the show by introducing a surprise guest
and long time friend of the Stern show, Jessica Hahn.
After a commercial break, Robin sat down
with Howard to rap with the brother for an audience question segment. "Robin,
how can you work with this guy? Magic asked. "Now wait a minute. How
can I work with you, Magic? You didn't even pay for me to come here. You
didn't get me a hotel room. And then you ask me to do the show. You have
some nerve. You really have some nerve," Robin snapped back with a
devilish smile on her face.
Other celebrities on the show and in the audience were Tiny "Zeus"
Lister, who played his usually pissed-off angry black guy role acting pissed
off about Howard's recent comments about Magic's show. Celebrity Stern fan,
Drew Carey and Karen McDougal, Playboy's 1998 Playmate Of The Year, rounded
out the crowd.
Shelia E. ended the show with a smokin' rendition of her one-hit wonder,
"A Glamourous life", as Howard groped and dry humped Jessica Hahn
to the beat on the couch.
As a result of Howard doing Magic's show, the 
one-time
basketball star turned talk show host says he'll do Howard's radio show
soon. Another tid-bit to come out on the show was that Howard's new Saturday
night CBS TV show would be called "The Howard Stern Radio Show"
since it will be mostly clips of some of the most outrageous things to happen
the prior week on Howard's radio show, much like Howard's E! TV show, only
more topical.
With the radio show now on summer break, we'll all have to wait until
July 20th for Howard's dissection of the entire appearance.
