I caught 20 minutes of Howard’s first broadcast on Sirius and it was friggin’ hilarious (click here for a complete overview of the first show). George Takei (of Star Trek fame) was on board as the show’s new announcer, so Howard and the gang had lots of fun with the whole gay theme.
I almost drove my car off the road when they started playing the Pat O’Brien tape. Of course it was uncensored, which took the bit to a whole new level. Then they started playing song parodies (like Prince’s “Let’s Go Crazy”) with O’Brien’s ridiculous statements in the background. Priceless.
One blog counted 77 f-bombs from Howard. Howard claims he doesn’t want to rely too heavily on profanity, pointing out that it gets boring if used too often. My first impression is that he’s striking a good balance, and the O’Brien tape is a great example of content that works much better in an uncensored setting.
I’m glad he’s back.
