my pal Dave Sheridan

Colonel Dave Sheridan came up to me backstage in Iraq, at Camp Victory, and said he had been a listener and a fan since The Howard Stern Show was syndicated to Philadelphia in August, 1986. And that his wife Elise was as big a fan as he is.
I said, "Then let's take a picture, I'll put it on JokeLand, and you can introduce me to the troops tonight."
The idea excited him, he was a tad bit nervous, he did a great job introducing me, it was a really fun show (Bo Bice had fifty Alabamians (?) from the audience on stage singing "Sweet Home Alabama"), and here he we are...

A Safe Distance From Genius

I finally have a DVD, A Safe Distance From Genius, and it's great fun. Ninety minutes of jokes, and three big hunks of vintage "Stump The Joke Man," all taped at Rascals Comedy Club in West Orange, New Jersey, in it's Hay Day (hey...what's a Hay Day?).
We also threw on six of my songs, and as four of them play, you'll try to enjoy a seemingly endless slide show of pictures and malarky from my sixty years of enjoying the planet.
To order, click here (where it says click here). It will whisk you to the info.
and thanks for everything,
j.

A Classic Geraldo Rivera Note

Geraldo Rivera came on The Howard Stern Show to promote his brand new show on CNBC.

I wrote the note that's below, and Howard read it...he said, "Your own show on CNBC? Wouldn't a lemonade stand be more profitable?"

After he left the studio, our intern Steve Grillo asked Geraldo to sign it for me.

Grillo and I eventually got our asses reamed for torturing our poor guests, for putting them on the spot like that after they were kind enough to appear on our show.

That's after they had shown up, had a video camera rammed down their throat, and then been grilled by Howard about everything they'd prefer to never ever talk about...me asking them to sign their name and maybe write something fun was an unmerciful way to treat our company.

Every second on the show was the greatest, I loved it.
