Needless to say, Bobo took the bait and was subsequently castigated and banned.
FUNNY HOWARD STERN RONNIE PARODY SONGS SERIES
A complete riot from start to finish.īobo's inflated sense of self-importance, terrible phone calls and unbearably hammy Periscope series make him an almost-too-easy target of ridicule, and this year haters of the frequent caller and long-running show personality were granted an early Christmas gift: a total show ban, handily dubbed the “Bobo Free Summer.” His offense: selling out the show by accepting a challenge - from a plant posing as a “General Hospital” casting director - to mention the soap's title five times on air in order to land a role. In the sketch - a takeoff on the since-debunked news item that the terrorist organization kept a “terrorist helpdesk” members could call to solicit advice about sowing chaos - Howard took on multiple roles, playing both the outsourced Indian representative (!) manning the phones as well as an assortment of callers casually seeking advice on suicide-bombing and “decapitating Jews,” among other lighthearted activities. Howard has never gotten the proper credit for being a first-order satirist, and this year's extended “ISIS hotline” sketch is further proof not only of his formidable improvisational skills but his deft satirical mind.
Guilt-ridden confession: I cannot get enough of this woman.
But perhaps her greatest accomplishment this year was that on-again, off-again “love affair” with resident phony phone caller Sal Governale - an increasingly one-sided relationship that became one of the show's most entertaining recurring storylines. From her bull-in-a-china shop appearance at Jimmy Kimmel's “birthday party” to that in-studio sparring session with her latest boxing opponent Kayla Vas, 2015 was a pretty good year for aficionados of the gravelly-voiced sex symbol. Note to celeb super-fan Natalie Maines: Tan Mom (née Patricia Krentcil) is Wack Pack, and this year more than ever the notorious (albeit vindicated) 2012 tabloid magnet became an essential part of the show's on-air hijinks. Hey now! What better way to celebrate the big news than by counting down 11 memorable show moments and recurring gags from the past year - from that unprecedented Madonna interview to Tan Mom and Sal Governale's tortured love affair. Howard Stern fans breathed a sigh of relief this week when it was announced that the self-proclaimed King of All Media had re-signed with Sirius XM for another five years, promising more great celebrity interviews, Wack Pack hijinks and high-quality phony phone calls well into 2020.
