Looks like Howard Stern is now taking some heat for what he did in 1993. Apparently the story goes, Stern denied using the "N" word in the past. Hard to believe he'd deny it because most of us remember quite well the New Year's Eve special he did back in '93. He and Sherman Hemsley had done a skit on the show depicting Ted Danson (Stern) and Whoopi Goldberg (Hemsley). I was dating a black chick back then and we watched the show that night. It was an uncomfortable piece of the show for us to watch, which it wasn't funny at all. The only part I remember that made me laugh was in the very beginning of the skit when Stern replied to Robin's question as to why he's still doing black face. Sterns reply was "I can't get this 5htt off". That was the only part that I thought was funny. Everything else after that was bad and it only got worse as the skit dragged on.

Anyways, If Stern in fact is saying that he's never used the "N" word, that's pathetic. Because any loyal Stern/show listener will remember how he went on every day during the O.J. Simpson trial, mimicking what "FUBailey's" questioning consisted of.

What is the point of bring it up? He's a hard core comedian. Anyone going on his show is subjected to ridicule and the most personal questions anyone could imagine.

He's always pushed everything to the limit. I'm not a big fan but my question is what will this accomplish?

He's turned into a PC liberal who constantly pisses and moans about Trump and his 'rhetoric'. He needs to answer for his own indiscretions before he chastizes anyone else.

Yeah, he's going to find out now how it is, what it's like. I know for a fact that Stern isn't a racist and never has been. But it serves him right for going on a show and claiming he's never said the "N" word. How he thought he'd get away with telling that blatant lie I'll never know. Unless he's losing his mind.

I agree with the previous poster that Stern is not a racist and his skits are at times shocking to many. I mean he’s not called a shock jock for nothing. Everyone needs to move on from this type of crap, 27 years ago.

Golly, Wally, could this new attack against Mr Stern be because Howard has come out against President Trump's reelection?

These people are so predictable. Fox News attacks AOC, the forum is flooded with threads on AOC. Fox News moves on to someone else, no more threads on AOC.

Now it is Stern who is in the crosshairs, and we'll probably see multiple threads on him.

You watch: President Trump won't dare say a word against Howard. Not one tweet.
