Friday, August 1, 2003 at 12:47 AM I have noticed Jay Leno and Howard Stern using Adam's light-hearted "...everybody..." as in "hey everybody" when Adam opens the show. Stern says "hey everybody" and "good morning everybody" and Leno says "good night everybody" both with Adam's characteristic jovial warmth. Since Adam has been guesting on Stern's show it has become clear that Stern likes Adam and recognizes his originality. It is quite an accomplishment and compliment for Stern to adopt Adam's trait as Stern typically takes credit for everything good and scorns everyone for stealing his material. Stern is correct with this rant. He has originated the bulk of material rehashed on every other radio station. As for Leno, he obviously listens to everyone and uses their material when the same guests appear on his show. I have seen countless times when Leno asked the same questions Stern used. Leno clearly expects the responses Stern generated. Leno probably hears Adam on the Stern show or at least hears Stern doing Adam's bit. The "hey everybody" is [i]that[/i] effective. BTW Leno is the worst interviewer. You need to be interested in the conversation to be good. Leno seems to be digging for a joke and most are typically lame. He always has to repeat the joke twice because he talks through his nose and half the audience didn't hear it the first time around. —Mike (not-the-first) |

Friday, August 1, 2003 at 12:59 AM Leno practically phones in every bit of his show. The only time I turn on "The Tonight Show" is for the musical guest. It's the only time of the show that's (almost) always guaranteed to be Leno-free. And by the way, Stern stole his whole repertoire from Steve Dahl. But who really cares? Both of them (Dahl and Stern) are incredibly un-entertaining, anyway. —Ace Rockola |

Friday, August 1, 2003 at 3:50 AM Clearly all Leno needs is more of Kevin's lame, replicated laugh from off camera to punctuate every non-joke he tells. That oughta do it.

Friday, August 1, 2003 at 1:51 PM Didn't doctor Nick Rivera from the Simpsons do the "hey everybody" first? Adam is known to be a big Simpsons fan. Leno sucks, I grew up with Letterman and still think he's the best cranky guy on TV, Adam of course is the best on Radio. Never cared much for Stern, didn't really like or dislike, just didn't care. —Logo Lou |

Friday, August 1, 2003 at 4:07 PM Dr. Nick would say "hi everybody!" not "hey everybody"...minor but significant difference. —clodhopper |

Saturday, August 2, 2003 at 4:45 PM I dont understand how you can give ANYone the credit for saying "hey everybody". I mean, it's just a casual way of opening a show. Although I must say, since I'm such an avid fan on Adam's, the phrase does seem to have a sort of connotation to him. And Jay Leno! I don't understand how he's kept his show as long as he has. It's just bursting w/ mediocrity, the jokes, the band...the only time I ever watch it is if there's someone I particularly like on the show, like Dane Cook. —Cassie |

Tuesday, August 26, 2003 at 11:40 AM Howard Stern did not take Steve Dahl's act. That is a myth created by Dahl. He is a bloated
bore, who does nothing but talk about eating or dieting. He was a bore with Garry meier and
continues to be. Stern ran all over his gigantic ass and he was bitter and jealous.
Dahl sits and talks abut his family for 5 hours every day. that's it. Stern is much more than that. —JB |
