Howard Stern

Born on Jan. 12, 1954 in Jackson Heights, NY as Howard Allan Stern, he is known as a shock jock. At Boston University, he had his first radio experience. He was the one who volunteered at the college radio station. Together with his colleagues, he produced an on-air show called the King Schmaltz Bagel Hour, a takeoff on the popular King Biscuit Flour Hour. Envisaging his weakness for controversy, the show was called off after its first screening, it also incorporated the comedy sketch "Name That Sin", a game show where participants plead guilty for their worst sins.

In 1976, having done his graduation with a 3.8 grade-point average and a bachelor's degree in
communications, Stern got married to Allison. He gives great importance to his family. They together have three daughters. During his first paying radio concert, at an understaffed 3,000-watt station in Briarcliff Manor, New York, "It dawned on me that I would never make it as a straight deejay, " Stern told James S. Kunen in an interview with People's magazine, "So I started to mess around. It was unheard-of to mix talking on the phone with playing music. It was outrageous, it was blasphemy."

He has a side kick that has been with him from the beginning of his antics. Her name is Robin Quivers and is an African American.
