Howardshrine.com Presents: Who Said This?

I was a fan of the show from the day he started broadcasting in LA. I went with Drew Carey when he was doing publicity for the Drew Carey Show, that was the first time I was actually in the studio. That is the interesting thing about the show is that people who are fans of the show become friends of the show or become on-air personalities with the show. That's true of Artie Lange, Ralph, Richard and Sal and my girlfriend who has also become a part of the show. That's incredible. If you're a fan of the Drew Carey Show, you could sit in the audience and that would be fun and all but you're not going to get a chance to be a part of the show. That's what makes Howard great. I have developed shows for Artie Lange. I did, with my new show Sam's Game which is airing on Playboy in June, I had Artie and Ralph on my show so I guess I've already been in that situation. Alison Norris, Fred's wife, is a great actress. As far as doing anything with anyone in the Wack Pack, I mean, this shows the genius of Howard. These are people, whatever their talents, are of no use to anyone outside of Howard. If anyone other than Howard were interviewing them, I don't think they would be as interesting. Put them on with Howard and suddenly you have fascinating radio. It really is a testament to him that these people are entertaining. So I don't think it would work with anyone else.
