Howard Stern staff member employee Mike Gange rips Howard for being fired, plus Artie Lange & Ronnie 

A HUGE part of Howard’s magic was to find and abuse, on air, low to medium talent. Gary, Stut John, Jackie, Gange, Grillo, KC, Sal, Richard etc..the list goes on. He kept them there because they were great show filler. It got old after 20 years, but filling the void has proved unlistenable for most fans. I wish Howard would have retired the contract after Artie was gone. It’s like a great boxer that fights way too long after his prime.

Gange must feel sooo nostalgic about his stern years. What was once his day to reality, now It’s probably like remembering a dream

King of all media - maybe in Howard's mind! So many of us former fans cannot stand Howard now. All of these wonderful people made that show. Thank you Mike Gange!

Artie Lange was the greatest fit to the Howard Stern show…more than any other character or personality, past or present. Artie’s popularity exceeded Howard’s in many cases.

I'll speak for gange. Howard didn't want to take a pay cut as he said many times on the air. Howard cares about no one but himself and maybe Robin. Still love the old shows though.

Howard always seemed miserly. He didn’t fight for his staff at the end. Now his show is so boring.

Stern fans are the guys that never wanted to leave High School and move on to newer things. It all has to be that same experience as when you were 17. Comments are all the same - boring.

It's cold how Howard TV staff found out over the air they were getting fired. At least have the common decency to tell them in person beforehand

We heard at least half a dozen incidents on air that Gange should have been fired for. He got it pretty good! The way he talked to his boss on air sometimes was mind-blowingly entitled.

I have to add a different perspective here. A lot of ex Stern employees rip Howard after being "fired" but what really jumps out at you when you look at the history of the show is just how stable Howard's employee base has been. The radio business is notoriously unstable and unpredictable, mass firings are common and few shows have employees that can say they were a part of a team for 20+ years. Howard has had a lot of them and most of the employees are not really Stern employees anyways, they are employed by Sirius or whatever radio station he works for. The management of those companies is always looking for way to cut costs and Howard has been known for going to bat for employees and keeping them with him when management was trying to cut them loose. You can't be on the air for 40 yrs. and not have some attrition, even with the star of the show trying to keep a team together long term there are times when certain employees are going to be let go, it's just a part of business, especially the radio business. Also, the only reason we know about employees being fired, or laid off, on Howard's show is because he weaves employees into the show itself so they become known to his audience. Most radio stations people get fired and the audience has no idea it even happened. So why are Stern show employees somehow exempt from the volatility of the radio business but not other radio shows employees?

'what about the WAAAHHHR AND TAAAAAHR ON MY CAAAAAHHR?!!

I miss the Gange impression more than I miss Gange the person.

"Conversating" is not a word. Conversing.

The HSS died in 2010 for us REAL Stern fans. Ill even go as far to say he stayed alive on life support until he hired Marci Turk AND started liking Ellen`s dancing. The 1st time I heard him say that, I cancelled my Sirius. I knew it was over for sure when those 2 things happened. I never liked Gange on the show (he was creepy with the young interns) but it sucks how 25+ year employees found out on the air that their tenure was over. Sad end to a once great show. RIP Stern show 1991-2010

Howard stern king of old media

Good Thing he went into producing after the Stern Show. I never listened to another person in my lifetime that utters the word "uhm" so many times in one sentence.

It's conversing not conversating!

The show seemed to be more spontaneous.. heterosexual and less political.. Now it is so contrived...gay themed half the time and Howard's politics are just ear burning.... He's lost it and it's time to move on like many of the staff have

"We're all Gange"

The word intern is a nother meaning for slaves

I always really liked Gange. He seems like a genuinely nice guy and I always loved hearing about his antics

Can’t even listen to Howard now. He is the definition of “sellout”. He got the 💰 and sold out

Gange's career advice is to work for basically nothing for years as an intern and hope that someone leaves so you can fill their role all to be replaced by an intern years later...make of that what you will..

PLEASE INTERVIEW LISA G

Howard Stern the King of all turncoats.

Everybody cry's after they been fired

I always enjoy listening to the old clips on RU-vid including Ganges antics. Unfortunately he has not learned not to say “you know” as Howard told him to stop saying. I lost count at 30x here. Dude… You Know?

I love the stern content on this channel. Especially loved the Bobby Rooney interview, giving a bit more insight into the real life of our beloved Beetlejuice. I hope you can talk to Bobby again, or even Beetle himself. Ryan or Michelle Rooney would be very cool too. Keep up the good work on the channel

Oh poor gange, had like the coolest job in the world for decades and now doesn't have it anymore 😢

I love that they gave Beetlejuice his props… he was the king. I thought that was just my opinion it’s great to hear staff felt the same. Can’t imagine how hilarious he was behind the scenes in the halls like he mentioned

Really kind of a dead end gig unless you were Fred, Gary or Robin. All of the staff were used for content. From the outside listening you really thought it was a closer crew. Howard is every bit as Hollywood as the shit he railed against for years. Hate to hear that. When Sal cried on air for the he was retiring prank , those were real tears lllol . Stern making $80 mill a year & the punching bags are probably not even making median salary of the avg American. Kind of disgusting really. Now I see why he was so pissed about Leno "overpaying" for Stuttering Johns services. John is POS but he would have never gotten the money Leno paid him. Stern is a highly insecure dirt bag, that part is not acting. That part at the end ? 24 years & get canned on the air ? Psycho

Does Howard still have a show? The show really ended when Eric the midget died. The show started dying when Artie left.

Breaking news Howard doesn't give a s*** about anybody on his staff all the listeners knew it I don't know how the staff doesn't know it

"everything is back in full force" Yeah, right!!

Even when the stern show was great, Gange was the worst part of it. He’s an entitled man child that was spoiled by his parents. Stern never should’ve given him that camera holding job, it really gave him a false sense of talent.

Theodore “Teddy” Roland, if you’re listening, PLEASE accept a podcast w “Here’s the Pitch”. Watch a few episodes and you’ll see Brad’s cool, calm style-talent of a respectful conversation like interview w his guests. As a long time HSS fan, I’m starving to hear ur experience working w Ronnie, Howard, Gary and most importantly how crazy life was as Artie’s assistant back in the day. Hopefully someone will forward this to you as I’m sure ur fans (like me) would love to hear from ya. - The dude

After HowardTv ended, video part of the show is controlled by SiriusXm, so Howard could insist that Sirius hire his old team, but instead they hired all new people who seat now in the same HowardTv rooms

To add to your point about Howard not needing anyone but himself, which I’m sure he’s being slightly sarcastic. If I can add one thing, I’ve never heard anyone talk about highlights of past shows where the focus of what was funny was something Howard did. It’s pretty rare if so.

One of the best interviews, you guys have done. Gange gave a great take on what it was like to work on the HSS, without hate or trying to kiss Howard’s ass.

As a former STERN staffer I'm saddened by all of this! Listen all of these bitter guys need to move on! You do a job and eventually it ends and you move on! Howard was never any of our Bosses! Not one of us ever worked directly for Stern! He owes us nothing! I'm embarrassed by all of this!

Stuttering j said the same thing , they don’t realize they have no talent

The pre and post interviews were my favorite parts, usually

39:09 for anyone wondering, I think this was during 2010. In shows in October 2010, Howard routinely played Ronnie's definitions (the audio) during the show to embarrass Ronnie. I wish Fred could play 'Howard is dumb' clips like when Howard mispronounced things or made an idiotic mistake that would be worse than even Sal would make...I digress.

Yeah I miss Mike ganji I still wish he was on the show with Scott

What a great guy. Loved the old show, and he was a major part of it. Thanks for the memories!

I bet they all wished he gave them a million dollars

Haven't listened to HSS since Artie left. I'm sure Gary has made a boat load of money over the years. Never saw the channel 9 show.

Gange should be thanking Howard for the oppertunity he gave him. Look where he is now because of howard

This new version of the Stern show after already left is just gone down hill 100%

Gange is a good guy. Seems he took it OK. The commentator is trying to egg him on, but he ain't going for it.

The best thing about the show left when Alot of the originals left When it was Howard, Robin, Jackie, Fred, Gary, Ralph, Stuttering John, Gange, the early versions of the wack pack, the wacky guests he'd get (some from calls and some off the street) ect...ect... Then he started running his show like it's a professional show and not what it was .... It was a comedy show with a host who went against the grain and didn't give a f*ck what people thought. Then he cared what others thought about him and his reputation and now the shows not even that funny anymore

Great interview. Thanks! Love ya Gange!

Howard's the only guy in the country that hasn't left his house

The introduction of jimmy kimmle to he show was the beginning of the end

Wow Gange worked at Howard's house? That must have been a trip. I never understood the Ralph thing either. Ralph was always vile.

gange is a clown he worked for free for a long time because he wasn't worth paying and he made a ton of mistakes he is lucky he was there as long as he was.

Gange’s attempt to shirk responsibility for the Seinfeld tape snafu was pretty pathetic.

He was a total creep his whole time on the show.

Come on man, jonesin for some new content broseph!

I would have liked to hear some examples of which things that wound up on the air "were manufactured." Otherwise, solid interview. Gange was pretty open here.

One day in 10-20 yrs when there’s a Harvard or Stanford Sociology class studying Howard Stern all these guys will have a place in the history books.

This is how bad Howard was. He had every1 thinking they were nothing and he was the show. And actually every1 made the show and without them he would be nothing like he is 2day. He really is a miserable man!

Why does everyone refer to it as “a show” ? It’s a podcast at this point, with a lot of big name name guests. Constant tapes of old shows etc…

Pelican cruelty is my faaavorite

We All Go Through The Same Thing At Work... They Pretend To Care About You... You Need To PRETEND To Care About Them...

Gange....the 20 year Non talented, Unmotivated, BETA, F'up Extraordinaire who literally got outperformed by a random 10 year old kid. But that's okay because you did a 'damn good job"......NOT (just ask Jen)

51:00 LOL, Gange couldn't fight his way out of a wet paper bag with scissors. 🤣

Ever reach out to Lisa G?

Howard should win a Nobel prize for his philanthropy just for keeping baba booey and Jackie employed all those years. That charity alone is immeasurable.

Howard had a budget and Howard TV was part of budget! So in order to make his salary go up,you gotta shed some weight!

I love these howard stern interviews. Show had such an impact.

Would like to hear more Howard at home stuff.

Howard kept the interns because it was cheap or free labor. Regardless of what their jobs were in the office, their real value was what they brought onto the air. They were characters on the show. Unpaid actors. They were at fault for that as well though. They weren’t paid and made no effort to leave.

It’s pretty simple if you do not like Howard or the show you do not have to listen.

Eric was the greatest wackpacker.

Is there a video clip of the actual firing of Howard TV live on the air?

I TOLD YOU NOT TO USE THE TAPE

well done

He was always a target due to having the highest I.Q. and he is too handsome.

Is it just me, or is there no sound?

gange was lucky Howard gave him a life. He should be thankful his time on the show lasted as long as it did.

I don't know. This interview was kind of a nothingburger. Nothing shocking revealed of any interest.

Gange is a good guy

That gangie guy was so annoying. I couldn't stand any of the howard TV guys. Remember how long it used to take them to get things done? After listening to this though, he's a great guy.

when Howard found out he went to Scott Eusengers house that was it he was dead to him

All these guys are still so bitter about not being on the show anymore lmao

Everyone pines for old Howard but you can’t expect the same content from someone for 35 years. People change so a show changes. I still enjoy the show. Is it different? Yes. It’d be strange if Howard was still tearing apart interns at 68 years old.

Howard has become 21st century Don Imus

Gange got to make personal Appearances to make money I’m sure.

Gange should have been fired at KRock

Sorry Gange, you were totally disrespected by Stern and his bs antics.

I want those cassettes

Gange spineless back then and in the present....

Right? Right? Right? Right? Right? Sheesh, Gange. Still having trouble with communicating I see!

From what I remember if you put in a vhs tape with the tab off and hit record the tape would eject instantly. I also don't remember a tape that would record for 6 hours, 2 hours I think.

Go back and redo the audio to where you’re not whispering and Gange’s not screaming

Howard made semi stars out of all the guys. Gange, Grillio, Stuttering Jon, KC and others. I thought they were all pretty funny and seemed to understand to show dynamic especially when Howard and the core group would goof on them. The story about Howard ending the relationship with the Howard Tv guys is kinda disappointing. If that is the way it happened I feel like Howard should have talk to them before dropping the bomb on the air. After Artie left and the show was evolving into a more PC climate I lost my taste for it and canceled my Sirius. Anyways love the old stern tapes on You Tube and these interviews with ex staff members.

Companies like to spring things up n people last minute.. my company decided to close a bunch of underperforming stores and rather than give them warning they just showed up and told everyone they’re being let go that day and good luck.

They completely removed artie from the show catalog on sirius . They need to put all shows on the app

Why not flip the tape and fast forward it a bit so not to lose any part of the shoe? Just sayin.
