Really Howard?

As an avid Howard Stern Show listener I was shocked and somewhat dismayed this morning when I awoke to hear the live broadcast as Howard broke the news to his Sirius listeners that he in fact had accepted the offer to host America's Got Talent on NBC. The idea has been thrown around and discussed for a few months now. I assumed it was a joke/publicity stunt and that Howard would never actually take the offer. I have been listening to Howard since the 90s when he was on terrestrial radio and never in a million years saw this becoming a reality.

Here's a list of reasons I think Howard hosting America's Got Talent will be awful.

1. He needs tons of sleep and will not get it if forced to work both night and day. As a result of lack of sleep his radio show will suffer.

2. It will soften the "shock jock's" image and persona and change him for the worse

3. It will open up Howard to the public (the kind of public I detest) and make him a household name and not in a good way.

4. It will become all that he talks about on his show.

5. Howard will become an NBC zombie.

I could probably come up with more but I'm not going to. I will also say that I wish I could set my DVR right now to record the Howard hosted episodes because I will surely never miss a single one. I must admit I am being selfish, I want Howard the way that I am accustomed and I don't want network TV viewers sharing him with me in this capacity.

I do however wish Howard all the best and think that he truly is the king of all media and will always be the greatest radio host of all time.
