In reality, Sal probably earned 1/100th of that for spilling his guts and pouring his heart out for our amusement. all those hours of compelling material, both on the main show and the WUS, the drama, the A-Ba-Low counseling session, the turmoil, the running gags, it kicking off Artie's "emotional friend" character, etc. viewed through that lens, the 143 saga was worth a cool mil, bare minimum.

If you broke it down on a per laugh basis, and subtracted for laughs/bits killed, Howard would owe millions of dollars by now, and Beetlejuice would be living in Pelican Manor.įor ex. The "you'd be nothing without me!" argument is moot, beside the point, and leaps over the actual argument/point, which is what the person was/is ON THE ACTUAL FUCKING SHOW! What's Howard's endgame with that? Does he want a finder's fee? Does he want them to ask his permission before hanging out? That might be the worst of the worst about Howard the way he interjects himself into and tries to claim ownership of every connection/friendship anybody has ever made during the years they worked for the show. He says Ronnie's going to hate it out in Vegas, then he says he's playing the big shot out there with his fancy, rich friends.Īlso, Howard takes credit for Ronnie's rich, fancy friends, because those people are obligated to hang out with Ronnie simply because he works for Howard. To quote the awful Nancy Sirianni Yoko Martling, Howard's logic defies logic.
#HOWARD STERN RONNIE ROAST DRIVER#
Imagine Tom Hanks guilt-tripping his driver for moving away!

In addition to being a shit father, husband, son, employer, employee, and bro, he's also a terrible celebrity. But now, he's wigging out over Ronnie "abandoning" him. The entire point of surrounding himself with no-talents is that they're supremely disposable. Howard has zero loyalty to him and doesn't deserve a friend like Ronnie.īlasting someone who is on the show is fun when they're on the show, but when they've moved on, it only reeks of desperation. He could make as much money as he does from cheap ass Howard doing Cameos an hour a day from the comfort of his Vegas pool. I wish Ronnie had the wisdom to just tell Howard to piss off and enjoy his retirement. It's so fucking cringe listening to Howard try and big dick Ronnie now and act like he has the upper hand in their relationship when it's clear Ronnie was done and needs nothing from him anymore. He agreed to meet with Ronnie before he left and then he pulled the football away once Ronnie committed to staying with the show. Ronnie is a devoted, loyal guy who did everything for this narcissistic piece of shit for over 30 years, and as soon as he wanted to stop being fodder for easy show material, Howard started sulking and tried to "take his love away", like Howard's mother used to do to punish him. This whole bit is fucking lame and tired and you can just hear Ronnie sitting there collecting the paycheck. Howard did everything he could do to psy-op Ronnie into staying in NYC, and then when that didn't work he turned his focus to convincing him he hates Vegas and will move back, he's just too stubborn to admit it. Howard obviously begged Ronnie to stay, since he's one of the very last remaining scraps of reality left on the show, but he still gets to act like Ronnie needs him more than vice versa. Howard can't handle this idea because Howard is incapable of ever leaving the radio because of his need for attention.

Dude is what, 71, has a nice young fun wife, a life he enjoys and he wants to spend the rest of it enjoying it. Worse than all the scripted calls and Howard whining about people going outside their front yard 2 years after Covid started.
