Howard Stern: Long Live The King!

DECEMBER 16--With Howard Stern today ending his long career on free radio (he's debuting January 9 on the Sirius satellite network), The Smoking Gun again wants to express our love for the King of All Media. Without him, his on-air sidekicks, and the freaky "wack pack," TSG would be without some of our favorite stories.

Presented below is a compendium of our Howard-related documents--call it TSG's Best of Stern. Adios, Howie. We'll see you on the other side.
