Howard Stern to iTunes/Apple?

[bbb]

I think when most people think of HS they think strippers, porn stars and dick jokes. This may have been a huge part of his act in the past, but IMO it really isn't a big part these days. Sure he still has them on from time to time, but to me it's the whole Stern universe that he has been able to create that is funny. The different personalities on his crew and the ball busting that goes on is the majority of the entertainment currently. To each his own. Stern is a master interviewer as well.

 

Sound like The Dean liked the strippers, porn stars and dick jokes.

 

I can get him on my iPhone using pocket tunes but it would be nice if he was available on the sirius app.

 

I use Pocket Tunes all the time. How do I get Howard on it?

I'd say the standards have stayed consistent over the years. There are just more outlets for people to monetize on the different strata.

 

 

I would agree the increase in outlets has given terrible material a chance to reach consumers, but I still think the standards of comedy have declined. That humorless no-talent bums like Dane Cook and Doug Benson (to name two of many) are regularly seen on TV is probably due to the increased number of media outlets. That they are considered top comics, and sell out shows demonstrates a decline in standards.

Gallagher rose to fame in the 70s. There are always popular bad comics old-timer.

Gallagher was occasionally funny. He was never a top comic, though. And his heyday was fairly short-lived.

 

A number of the top money-making comics are now simply terrible. The number of outlets may explain their presence. Only poor taste explains their success.

 

With that said, there are many great younger comics out there. This isn't an old/young thing.

Dane Cook's rise and fall were both fast. HE can't sell water in the desert these days.

Cook is staring in THREE movies now in post production and his concerts regularly sell out, despite critical scorn. He is also set to star in a Broadway show in 2011.

I'd say that the reason was that the media filter didn't give these kind of guys a platform in the age that you're talking about. But if you back up a century or so, you'd remember how PT Barnum made a killing.

Well, while PT certainly knew his audience, there was no electronic mass media or movies (or much stand-up comedy come to think of it) in the 1800s. PT could pass off cheap entertainment as he went from town-to-town, and the crowds were satisfied with the little bit entertainment they were able to get. The audiences in smaller towns and/or outlying areas probably didn't have much to compare to the hacks they got to see.
