I'd miss his Sirius show, and he'd have to mute his style pretty markedly, but this would be a HUGE rise in profile and he's certainly as capable of brutal honesty as Simon.

I doubt that he has the musical savvy to replace Cowell.

Cowell + Abdul > Stern + Degeneres.

Oh well.I stopped watching the year Chris Daughtry was on there.Hell they kick Paula off and brought in Ellen Von Eric.She was about the only reason to watch other than the retards that embarrassed themselves....Fugg it...

Stern became a parody on himself years ago~

Shouldnt they be trying to appeal to teenage girls?

[Hammock Parties]

I would tune in for that.

What, a 60 year old shock jock doesn't scream teenage girl?

Im sure they scream at him as he is trying to... nevermind.

And so, American Idol, one of the most successful shows in TV history, jumps the shark. Actually been happening a couple of years, but that sucker's been cleared.

[Titty Meat]

Do you think any fires would start by the burst of wind from Howard Sterns asshole?

[Sure-Oz]

Why is simon leaving he pretty much is the reason to watch

Get it up?

Exactly, besides I thought Simon was the producer & owned the rights to the show

[Bugeater]

I just wish it would go away.

[007]

I figured they would just bring in Piers Morgan.

[FAX]

Personally, I think they should choose the next judge via talent contest.

Do people still watch that fucking game show?

Call me when the "idol" is a 14" ivory double-donger going in both of Paula Abdul's holes at once.

No I don't think he does. I think he's leaving to start his own show. He did the same thing here in the UK.

We had a show called Pop Idol, which I think American Idol was spawned from. Cowell then left and did his own show which is called X Factor, which is exactly the same apart from it features even more more of the preening tosser.

I don't see it being as easy for him to do it in the US, seems like American Idol has become much more of a cultural thing than Pop Idol ever was here, I think it only ran for 2 or 3 years.

Wrong Simon, Simon Fuller.

And for those not putting the puzzle pieces together, that 'X-factor' show is how we know the name Susan Boyle.

I've been sort of hard on Stern in the past, but this seems like it would be an awesome fit.

It would be for an entertainment value, but the show is basically a family show and I don't know if a lot pf parents are going to want their 10-15 year olds sitting there watching Stern. I think it could be a good fit for one year and then replace him.
