02-01-07 Super Fan Roundtable Brainstorming Thread

[Mutt]

02-01 this week it's Joey Boots, Christine, Yucko the Clown, & C.I.A-Hole

THE QUEEN'S RING
- If Howard decides to propose to BethO, how much should he blow on the engagement ring? The 2 month salary rule doesn't really apply. Steven Singer says that Howard could get a nice ring for $50,000 but Howard admits that's he's already spent more than that on a piece of jewelry for her.

Not including bonuses or Howard TV, we've all heard the Howard makes $500 million.
500 mill / 5 years / 52 weeks = 1.9 mill a week
1.9 mill a week * 8 weeks = 15 million

Celebrity Engagement Rings
- Lady Diana from Prince Charles, a £42,000 18-carat blue oval sapphire ring circled by fourteen diamonds
- Grace Kelly form Prince Rainier, 12 carat emerald-cut diamond engagement ring
- Christina Aguilera from Jordan Bratman, a $54,000 20-carat diamond ring
- Jennifer Lopez from Ben Affleck, a $1.2 million 6 carat radiant shaped pink diamond ring
- Paris Hilton from billionaire Paris Latsis, a $5 million 24 carat canary diamond ring
- Pam Anderson from Kid Rock, a $750,000 5 carat oval cut canary diamond ring
- Katie Holmes from Tom Cruise, a $100,000 6-carat diamond ring
- Nicole Richie, a $75,000 6-carat engagement ring
- Jennifer Aniston from Brad Pitt, a $500,000 ring w/ over 20 diamonds
- Melanie Knauss from Donald Trump, a $1 million 12-carat emerald cut ring

ARTIE OUT
- Artie missed a several shows because he was "sick". Did the show suffer?
- If the show decided to get someone to sit in the Artie seat when he's "sick", who could fill the void?

RAPID FIRE: Should Howard do The View?

BREAK 1

CELEBRITY ROAST
- It's time for another roast and Howard feels that it's time to go outside the show. Do you agree? What celebrity would you like to see roasted? Should they stick to someone from the show? If they do, who should go next?
- What other changes could they make to improve the event?
- If it was possible, would it be good for Howard TV & Sirius to sell a celebrity roast show to regular TV? It would obviously have to be an edited show. Would it hold up on regular cable?

(Names i've heard suggested : Sam Simon, KC, Jenna Jameson, Bubba, Brent, Joan Rivers, Mike Walker, David Spade, Gene Simons, Dice Clay, Richard Simons, Simon Cowell, Rossie O'Donald, David Lee Roth, Gilbert, Norm, Dee Snyder)

Howard100 news. People starting a petition to get Penny back.

Howard wants to talk to Lisa G's ex on the air. Does he want a legitimate news team or a cast of characters.
Fans angry at her for not going along with it.

News team special :

[GRATEFUL DEAD]

What happened to the roasts??????

Did they do too many, too quickly, and burnt out the idea??????????????

How about roasting Penny??????????

[GRATEFUL DEAD]

The 2/15/7 show should be WAY interesting.


J & Irish John in the same studio..........................

The thing that makes roasts work is the underlying respect for the roastee.

Who's left? Benji (won't happen), sal/richard (worth it?), Robin, Fred and Howard are DEF must haves!

[CLONEOFSTERN]

I for one would like to hear Howard's parents call in more often...have more intresting guests other then brainless pigs riding a super-sized vibrator...sometimes everything old is new again...I also would like to see you and JoeBoots be more of an intrical part of the show as opposed to others...

Mutt,
Please focus on only one topic this week:

First we had the Friday Show, then we had Master Tape Theatre, now we need something more. There's a 6 hour hole left in my day when Howard is off on Fridays. I've become accustomed to listening during work and like all americans, I want more. If we can't have Howard on Fridays, I love that we have calssic Stern but it doesn't fill the 6 hour block that I get Moday thru Thursday. I would like to see Sirius doi something with the leftover time other than just repeating what just played.

Here are the suggestions I've gotten from the fans.

• Multiple Mastertapes in one day. Get the team equipped with the machines and manpower necessary to give me 2 different Mastertapes a day. How bout this, go crazy and give me three. Instead of people complaining about Fridays, they be loving them.
• Bring back the Friday Show. Shorten it a little and stick it either before or after the day's Mastertape.
• Make a new live show. If the Friday Show isn't an option, do the same as above but make a new Friday Show to fill the gap.
• Give us a Mastertape wrapup show. It could be filled with interviews from people involved in the original show that had just aired. It would be similar to the morning when Howard & the gang discussed the Rainbow Room show.
• Replay the 1 hour special shows. Shows like Riley, Joke Hunt, The Roundtable, The Intern show, etc do not get heard by everyone. They could replay all the special shows from the week on Friday morning.
• Move the Howard 100 News Week in Review show from Saturday to Friday after Mastertape. Let them fill the void.
• Switch to a 6 hour best of format.

[blue2noise]

I agree about the H100 news.

* Should the news be scrapped all together?
* Should Howard TV take over the news and make it a weekly TV news program with desks and such?
* If the news does disappear what becomes of Shuli, who should obviously stay part of the family?
* Who would you have let go instead of Penny?
* Do you think Penny & George were fired for cutbacks or because they are clearly the two most difficult to have as employees?

Scott the engineer
Bubba
Jackie
K.C.
Cabbie

etc....

[C.I.A-Hole]

I am STOKED!!!!

They Definetly should roast:

Crazy Cabbie
Norm McDonald
Bob Schimmel
Gilbert Godfried
Bubba
Scotty Ferrell
Lisa Lampenelli
Pat Cooper
Dee Snyder
Dice


There are tons more, but Cabbie, Dee Snyder, & Bob Schimmel were the only names I didn't hear mentioned today.

[maloof]

• Who should be the next person to be roasted? - Howard wants a celebrity, but should they veer away from the staff and go after big names, or just keep the whole roast thing "in-house"? If they were to go away from the staff, I say they bring in Tom Chiassano or David Lee Roth to roast
• Artie moving farther away from NYC??? - He says he went house shopping over the weekend but ultimately admitted to staying where he is. Does he eventually pull the plug and purchase a home or just sit tight?
• Sal at it again with the touchy comments towards Beth

[Mutt]

what do we need to discuss this week?

[Pussah2]

what celebrity should they roast

jackie, gilbert and dice would be good ones to discuss and anyone else people might like

[Jeton]

I'm a regular ready to come back, Mutt...how's 2/15 or 4/5?


definitely time to discuss The ROast again...i say they'll have a chance at bigger names, some who've never done the Show before or not for years, if they get to Fred, Robin and HOWaRD sooner than later. leaving Howard till 2011 ensures that the interim Roastees from outside the Show will all be washups (Gene SImmons) or small fry (Joan Rivers). To Roast a Jerry Seinfeld or a Robin Williams, they have to have a brutal Roast of Howard under their belts...

[tnk]

Weight Loss with Wendy the Retard and Richard Simmons
Maybe a weight-off with Artie???

[dharmabum]

Thoughts for this week's show:
The genius of the work that Sal and Richard do. The phony phone calls and TV call ins are priceless. This call looking for a young pizza delivery boy, totally genius.
More or less on the week's guests.
Miss Black Howard Stern
Rumors of Artie's return to heroin? is he or isn't he
All the new web sites that have popped up around the shoe ie. robiniswrong.com
H100 news, all they need is Shuli

Will post more later.

[Jeton]

I think Howard and RObin keep attacking Artie to draw him out of his "superfan" shell and fight back the way Jackie used to, and they've really revved up the hazing since joining Sirius...will this long-overdue hazing bring him closer or drive him away now that Hollywood wants some Artie-mania?

[fatboy]

>Lisa Lampanelli

She's a GREAT guest. She was on television on Saturday night and she was funny as hell... hysterically funny. Smooth, confident, fearless... funniest chick comedian I can remember from the past 25+ years.

[wanga]

mutt I can do 2/1 , 2/8 and 2/15

as for topics:

Roast: It would be awesome to hear sal roasted, rev bob, gilbert gotfried.'

Also discuss Howard flipping out on Sal today, was it justified.

[rogny]

The tv call ins are great, the prank calls not so good. Maybe set something up where listeners can get richard and sal to prank someone, say someone is getting married sal calls from the catering hall saying that the place is being shut down by the FDA because of a rat infestation.
