Shock jock Stern was a different person back when Steve Grillo, now 58, worked for him in the 90s on New York’s WXRK station.
Pre-woke, decades before he did softball interviews with Joe Biden, Stern’s politics leaned Republican.
“He definitely got George Pataki elected Governor [of New York in 1995] and he was a big [Rudy] Giuliani supporter,” said Grillo. “It’s gross to see what he’s turned into. I think it’s quite pathetic, to be honest.”
Grillo is referring to Stern’s 180 in terms of his political standing, “At some point, his brain flipped,” he said. “I think it has to do with the people he associates with. He’s in the [left wing] herd, and he doesn’t want to upset them. Now he’s friends with all these A-listers, people like Jimmy Kimmel. If he goes up against them, he’s going to get kicked out of the club. He used to make fun of all those celebrities,” who Grillo counts as fair game due to their public profiles.
“Trump and Howard were friends, they talked all the time,” said Grillo. “Then Howard turned on his friend.”

Howard is still alive??
They all turned on their friend. He brought them up on it during that first Al Smith dinner. Shamed them.
Whoinell gives a rip about Howard?
Howard Stern is one of the most vile human beings I have ever witnessed. His politics are irrelevant.
Now he's just a Deep State lackey. A tool of the establishment.
He used to be against "the man", now he's submissively licking the boots of the man.
Never cared for Stern. But I never thought of him as a boot-licking toady till The Lockdown revealed him to be a total follower.
Schwarzenegger, too. Sad.
There’s a clue in their for Howard, if he looks....
Jimminy Kibble is an A-Lister?
Along with Mickey Rourke.
Howard Stern made fun of celebrities until they invited him in. Just another simp hypocrite, desperate for a pat on the head.
I’m with you on this one.
Time Magazine put him on the cover with Rush in 1993 in one of their sick attack articles on conservatives.
Rush was sickened at the thought of being equated with Howard stern.
When Howard was first on WNBC in the early ‘80’s, he was lke nothing anyone had heard before on radio. He was moderately entertaining until he went to SiriusXM.
Bababooey
Way back when, I bought the Howard Stern New Years video. He was on regular radio so this was his chance to talk dirty, and the tape fell flat. He was much better when he was edgy but had to stay clean. When he’s free to curse, he does it gratuitously and it’s grating.
He was the best and most honest live announcer covering 9-11. (”You know that second building is coming down, too”)
He can be genuinely funny.
But first and foremost he’s a mean greedy sob with no ethics and no loyalty.
Supporting the likes of K Harris is inexcusable.
Maybe they were blackmailed.
Because he is not a Christian and he fears death.
