Howard TV and the Hard Rock are putting the final touches on this unique bikini contest to find the next Miss Howard TV. They are combing Las Vegas for the most beautiful and qualified women to compete on stage in bikinis at the Hard Rock’s world famous pool. Contestants will model and be interviewed by Lange and Mund. Both men make no secret of their high appreciation of the female form, so the proceedings promise to be sexy and fun.



The winner will be selected at the completion of the contest. The winner will reign for one month and will be awarded over $2,000 in cash and prizes. The prize package will include a round trip ticket to New York, two nights in a NYC hotel and $250 cash. The winner will also be interviewed live on the Howard Stern Show on Sirius XM Satellite Radio in August and will be the host/spokes-model for September on the Howard TV On Demand cable TV service. In addition, she will also get her own web page on the HowardTV.com website. Artie’s Party: A Search for the Next Miss Howard TV, will air on Howard TV later this summer. Howard TV is available on all major cable systems across the United States and parts of Canada.

According to Howard TV On Demand executive producer, Doug Z. Goodstein, "Las Vegas has always been an exiting city for us to produce great shows and specials. What better place to host our return but the Hard Rock Casino & Hotel. The Hard Rock pool has the perfect vibe to host our search for a new Miss Howard TV. We are expecting to find our hottest girl ever during this event simply because we know that Vegas girls are amazing!”

ABOUT ARTIE LANGE:

Nationally-renowned comedian and junk food aficionado Artie Lange came rumbling into the Stern Show in the fall of 2001 following the departure of show writer Jackie “the Jokeman” Martling. Always candid regardless of the topic, this quick-witted former Mad TV sketch show star has opened-up to the audience about his past battles with drug abuse, his constant weight fluctuations, and tumultuous relationships from the past and present – while keeping fans rolling with his hilarious commentary and working-class demeanor.



ABOUT RONNIE “THE LIMO DRIVER” MUND:

Originally hired by Howard as his chauffeur, Mr. Ronnie Mund burst on the Stern Show scene over 20 years ago. Despite lacking in height, muscle, or any type of tangible intimidation qualities, Ronnie has since expanded his duties to include security guard and all-around hallway monitor for the insanity occurring inside Stern’s Sirius compound. His abrasive personality – coupled with an undying love for strippers – has transformed the man behind Howard’s wheel into a regular show personality…either revered or hated by most listeners.
