Self-proclaimed clairvoyant Howard Stern stated on his rarely live satellite radio show that he had been fantasizing about doing another interview with Robin Williams and was frantically searching for his phone number to call him when Bethie informed him that the celebrity had died. I might be inclined to half believe the King of Fantasy Island, a.k.a., the liar, but just a quick search of the Howard Stern Show archive, at "MarksFriggin.com" reveals that Stern was always thinking about Robin Williams.
WHY didn't Stern try and get Robin Williams back for an interview when he was at the SiriusXM studios last year? Robin participated in the Town Hall series hosted by Whoopi Goldberg and I saw nothing online where Howard even referenced the Robin Williams Town Hall, if he did, it was hidden among all his other rants about Williams. How come Howard didn't say, hey, let me try and get Robin back in the studio and apologize to him while he is here in NY and doing a Town Hall.
Robin Williams and Whoopi Goldberg, SiriusXM Town Hall, New York, September 25, 2013. |
You know, Howard and Beth were made for each other, spending their lives dreaming about what could have been, had not A CELEBRITY stopped their rise to fame...Howard? Robin Williams. Beth? Amanda Peet, and a million SI models.
Robin was nominated for a Best Actor Oscar for "Good Morning Vietnam", he won a Golden Globe Award for the role. "Man of the Year" was reportedly based on Jon Stewart. Both roles Howard actually believed he was offered but had to turn them down because he was too busy, so Howard made it appear Williams was second choice....my gosh, what a warped ego. Even Artie Lange, the one time regular comedian on the show, laughed in Stern's face when Stern said he turned down a part in a film that ended up being nominated for an Academy Award...Artie said something like, "Ok, I don't believe you...". It was in reference to Artie doing a lot of stand-up comedy shows and having the time to also do the Stern show. Stern claimed to have turned down several movie roles because his radio job came first. I know, Fantasy Island Part II.
Stern is and always will be a D-List shock jock from ages ago who refuses to retire. Beth is a never-was model and actress, failing at everything, until Daddy Stern paid for a bunch of photo shoots all amounting to a lot of nothing, and Beth is stuck doing calendars and selfies with animals. Howard is still stuck in his radio vortex of nothing, only now, under the corporate cloud, did he finally get a crappy D List game show, in the guise of a reality show. [Producers call it a "reality" show to avoid any potential lawsuits from persons claiming the "game" show is fixed with the outcome already scripted. Game shows rely on chance, outcomes are not scripted vs most reality shows follow the the lives of persons involved, which are scripted realities and scripted outcomes].
Interesting that it was another Buchwald client, Tom Leykis, that had posted the fake photo of Robin Williams, post mortem, on his blog site.
Buchwald client Jay Thomas was also on "Mork and Mindy", so Stern's obsession with Williams goes waaay back.
Surprisingly Bethie was in New York with Howard when all this drama happened because she had to juggle a bunch of phony foster cats and try and steal attention away from supermodel and super judge Heidi Klum at the taping of "America's Got Talent". Nothing slows down Beth, her camera shots are all that football head thinks about, she doesn't care who's swinging from a closet door, she's got a date with a camera so she's gluing on the wigs and pasting stuff to her face and she's out the door...too bad honey, let the personal assistant find you post mortem, Beth is a superstar.
I don't quite know how you kill yourself sitting in a chair with a belt over the top of a door, but supposedly this was not Williams' first try at it, and we know Beth is a chair model, so maybe she can help us out while Stern channels more dead celebrities in hopes of selling some awesome press releases to the tabloids.
Nice detective work, Beth Fan!
ReplyDeleteWe can also add 'clairvoyant' to Beth Stern's list of imaginary talents.
ReplyDeleteHonest Howard told the story about how on Monday, at 1 pm Eastern time, he was thinking of Robin Williams and that Beth came in to tell him that Robin had just passed away. Interesting that in Robin's California home, no one discovered he was dead until 12 pm Pacific (3 pm Eastern time).
In case the animal advocate schtick doesn't work out for Beth, perhaps a career as a TV psychic could be her next role.
Another stellar post. I wish this was front page reading in the national papers!
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean Howard joined AGT to avoid potential lawsuits?
ReplyDeleteI will edit; it wasn't clear.
