Howard Stern has a very special request for the bigwigs in charge at Sirius XM satellite radio. Since the King of All Media can't seem to get the respect he so richly deserves under his present conditions, Howard Sternis trying a new tack using language that they can understand. Howard Stern has proclaimed that he now demands the same treatment afforded to Unofficial Queen of All Media, Oprah Winfrey.
"Treat me like Oprah!" screamed Howard Stern during Monday morning's Howard Stern Show broadcast. The proclamation came on the heels of the news that Oprah Winfrey and her entourage had descended on the Sirius XM studios on Friday, throwing everyone on site into a proverbial tizzy. Oprah Winfrey's "O Magazine Show" co-hosted by Gayle King premiered on September 18th at 2:00PM, kicking off a new 24-hour Oprah programming blitz designed to attract some of Winfrey's TV followers.
As reports of Oprah Winfrey's divine visit to the Sirius XM studios trickled in to The Howard Stern Show on Monday morning, Howard Stern's rage grew to diva-like proportions. One staff member reported that Oprah Winfrey's BFF and Personal Wormtongue Gayle King was escorted by security everywhere in the studio, including the bathroom, for protection against any peons that might try to reach out and grab a piece of Miss King's magical coat of Oprah's coattails. A rumor that Howard Stern's picture had been either removed or rearranged on Sirius XM's wall of stars during Queen Oprah's visit pushed Stern over the edge.
"If I find out that's true then I am NEVER re-signing with Sirius XM again. I mean it."
It's unclear if the question of whether Howard Stern's picture was "bumped" down to a lower level during Oprah's visit will ever be answered, but Howard Stern has a few ideas about preventing it from happening again.
"Every executive here should be wearing a Howard mask," proclaimed the King steamily. "I shouldn't see one person who looks like themselves."
Sounds like Howard Stern had an "Ah ha!" moment.
