Jackie Martling Walks Away From Big Money @ Howard Stern Show 

agree, when they were not fake callers that were interns calling in from the back room

I loved Jackie, but he really did blow it. 650 K over 20 years ago was big BIG money. Even if he never got another raise, he walked away from over 14 million bucks! Damn, Jackie…

Agreed. The callers back in the 1990's were a big part of the humor on the show. This was before social media, so there were a lot more people listening to Howard. The show lost a lot when people stopped calling because they were busy on facebook and later twitter and instagram.

Yeah if only Hanzi was the same

Good caller frfr

Nice breakdown

Lol I'm not sure what you mean.

@@ocd9033 I mean it gave Artie so much notoriety and money and when you do that with an addict it's never going to go well

@@eliottsmith6908 you are absolutely right about Artie

Best and Worst. It could have been the best but I think it somehow fucked him up.

@@eliottsmith6908 He has always been an addict.

And yet The Howard Stern Show has plummeted into a sh!tty Zoom Call, ...its even less than a podcast, and the ACTUAL numbers, that Sirius tracks accurately, shows only a few hundred thousand listeners at this point. There are 12 year olds streaming themselves playing video games on Twitch that have more followers. He has absolutely betrayed and excommunicated every person that ever worked with him to make the show what it was. Even Imus is more respectable for the time, and millions of dollars, he spent on charity and to provide for sick children. Howard hasnt given a penny to anyone, and he's a billionaire. He's an A HOLE!

He probably would have gotten 1M+ when the Sirius move happened.

@@Realhawker absolutely not lol

@@Realhawker stuttering john too. now he's doing a podcast no one listens to. john at least left for more money.

Not to mention the massive raise he would've received from Sirius -- well into the millions

and should be these days, but all the PC snowflakes get all in their feels over nothiing

@@justmissjamey to me personally, race based jokes are just low hanging fruit. Peons get a chuckle and everyone else just groans or cringes now. Lol

@@CarseyJones True but actually almost everyone actually loves those low hanging race jokes, they just usually don't like it about theirs.

@@CarseyJones certain accents sound funnier than others In English. No reason for ppl to make it something more than it is

I think those were Jackie's excuses. He wanted more star treatment. He wanted to be equal to howard. That was the problem

The schedule excuse was BS. He started using it when he tried to come back but the offer was off the table. The show died after he left.

Couldn't handle the schedule? He was there for 15 years,lol

it was about the money and nothing more

@@lorir5728its not an excuse its a reason. Jackie just really didnt want to come back. The star treatment is what they gave to get him to stay long past when he wanted to quit.

at least john went to a real deal show business job

Should see what he's up to nowadays

Artie was great. I had the HS show 15 years ago on TV. HS show has jumped the shark now.

Jackie years was definitely the best. The Channel 9 show 💯

Weird

@craigmccabe

😂😂

He changed his name to Randy... 😅😅😅😅😅

The fact that you see this as a bad thing indicates why Howard is still wildly successful and working regularly and you’re… writing angry comments.

and that is a good thing

A trumpanzee's tears are the best. Thanks Dan!

@@thefauxtist4387 Trump lives rent free in that peanut brain of yours.

Exactly, it is pathetic, Stern is boring as F now and so woke. Back then he would roast everyone, now he would be crying "oh please, I am sooooo sorry for what I did, Marci tells me I was wrong".

I think his stuttering was fake too.

He fucking ruined everything. I couldn't stand Stuttering Idiot and was glad he left.

Neither is Howard

@@kcrow430 yeah he doesn't seem to do it too much these days

Only when he stuttered.

Are you being serious? He could have stayed for 5 years and made over 3 million dollars

The show ended up trash but Jackie walked away from millions over his own insecurities. The show was still excellent for years after this, he could literally have made 20 million or more but for his own ego.

They beat us in soccer, right?

yeah, but to me the Artie years were really good and things kinda clicked and seemed relatable and fun

Howard the vulture

Howard the pelican

@@marca.3430 Beth the horse.

You could study his failure to update his act and downfall as an example, too.

He's so pussy whipped. If you google the word pussy whipped you'd see his picture pop up as the most known example of a pussy whipped male humanoid

Yup. Sirius threw in Howard's stations as a bonus the last my subscription was up and it was time to negotiate a deal. I'll still listen from time to time, but Howard is such an asshole. He's turned into everything that he used to hate. He's going to die with more money than god, scared to leave his house.

imus and woke lefty corruption

Tell us your a Trumpanzee without telling us a Trumpanzee.

@@thefauxtist4387 its pretty unanimously agreed that the stern show got worse by some point. Whether it be Artie or Jackie leaving.

Howard grew up. Success from his book and movie gave him a taste of mainstream. He became PG rated version of himself. He then moved to satellite and it cost money 💴 to listen. By that point the show was already not edgy as it once was. I got bored of the 3 days and long vacations. I finally left Howard but loved him when was truly a shock jock days.

You clearly do not understand what Jackie was doing. He was not walking away from big money, he thought he would get more by walking away, and he was wrong. This is a negotiating tactic, and it usually works. People on TV shows, athletes, people on radio etc all use this tactic, and as I said most of the time it works. Sometimes though it does not work. One of the more famous times it did not work was when Suzanne Somers tried it on Three's Company. Three's company was the new hit show, and Suzanne Somers was by far the most popular character, so when her new contract came up they offered her a lot of money, but she walked away because she thought she could get more, but instead of giving her more they replaced her with a much cheaper actress. One of the more well known times it worked was when Redd Foxx walked out on Sandford And Son. Redd Foxx was up for a new contract, and at the same time The Jeffersons was a new show, and Sanford And Son was the number one show on the network, but Foxx found out they were paying the Jeffersons cast like 3 times more than him and they had personal dressing rooms, so he quit. They actually replaced him with Grady, and Grady came to live with Lamont, and after like 3 months they submitted and paid him what he wanted and gave the cast their own dressing rooms. Larry Hagman did the same thing on Dallas. Dallas was the most popular show on all of TV, he thought he should be making more money, so he quit. They did an entire season without him, realized he was worth and the show needed him, so they gave him the biggest contract ever on TV so he would come back. The funny part is Hagman said he was getting ready to call them and beg for his job back when they called him and told him they would give his a ton of money to come back. That is what Jackie was doing, he thought he was important enough to the show that they would pay him more, and they did not see it his way. He was clearly important to them, but not important enough to get paid more than they were offering. Howard does pay well. Just Robin, Gary and Fred get paid a combined 20 million per year. Robin gets 10 million, Fred gets 6 million and Gary gets 4 million, which is basically a quarter of the shows entire budget. Howard owns the show, and he pays all the staff, and that money comes from Sirius paying Howard for the rights to play his show.

@@chrisgullett4332 I understand Jackie's ploy and how it flopped; what I'm saying is: If I were Howard and Tom Cheapasano or whoever came to me and said: "We're offering you $20 million this year." I would say: "Oh? That's very interesting, that means you have $20 million to pay in salaries to the HSS. But waut--the HSS isn't just me, it's Robin, Fred, Jackie, and Gary. So why does even Robin, my princess, make $250K, while Fred and Jackie only make $75K, and Baba Booey makes a mere $35K?! Give each of them a million dollars, and I'll take $16 million. I'm actually saving you $435K in salaries if you do it that way!" That would be *my* negotiating tactic. Things obviously changed once they got to Sirius.

@@Nunya_Bidness_53 That is not how it works. The show is the product, and it is owned by Howard. Howard lets Sirius play his show on their platform, and they pay him for that right. That money goes towards the production of the show, paying all salaries including his own and all expenses. Again, Howard is now under contract for 90 million a year, and out of that 90 million he has to pay for everything, and he pays 20 million alone to just three staff members. Robin gets 10 million, Fred gets 6 million and Gary gets 4 million. so after paying them that leaves 70 million to pay for everything else. Howard does not have to take a pay cut, cause everybody gets paid from the same source, which is the money Sirius pays to use the show. Not to mention all the risk is on Howard, who has to pay to fight any lawsuits, pay for any injuries, paid vacations, payroll taxes etc.

@@chrisgullett4332 Yes yes, but that's not how it worked during terrestrial radio days, as I said it changed when they moved to satellite. Previously they negotiated their own contracts because they each were the employee of the broadcasting corporation. I'm just saying I would have negotiated higher pay for my people, since obviously Tom didn't give two shits and a popsicle what Jackie wanted compared to Howard. Instead Howard always said "I don't get into salaries".

yeah i’m sure you would give up money you earned to give to your coworkers

Most. Underrated.Comment. LOL

I agree. Jackie is way beyond passive aggressive. He wanted Robin off the show - to the point of making unfunny rape jokes.

@Charlie Bravo The link is Billy West and Stuttering John backed him up. Howard is a fraud.

Bullshit! Jackie wanted back on the show and it was already to late. Best he could do was get " the joke hunt" on Howard's channel. I heard the Jackie, Billy and John thing several times. It's called Jackie trying to save face. Jackie is the Pete Best of the radio. Greed.

It's amazing that this guy accuses Jackie of being greedy, but is a shill for Stern, one of the most greedy pelicans ever to show his beak.

Jackie set nothing straight. He thought he was pulling a power move and it backfired. Howard would have been successful with ANYONE; Jackie thought he was equally part of the success(he said it many times). He was just wrong. There is no record to set straight. Howard has kept a core group of employees together for decades. No one else has done that on radio EVER. Richard, Sal, JD, Will, Jason, Gary, John Hein, Benjy, Fred. The list goes on and on and on. And yet, angry comment after angry comment about how Howard doesn’t take care of people. That is Jackie or Eric level delusion.

@@miketocci the guy who owns the show, is responsible for all the success, is the single most important part of all of it, and is the reason any of the rest of them make anything? Gee how crazy

Amen to that!

100 percent. Artie got repetitive with all the rehab and heroin. When you listen back to all the stories he told and explanations there all lies. At least you knew Jackie in some way

100%

Yes, Jackie & Billy West era was Prime Stern

@@MrBronx61 you actually got up early to listen to those guys...

100%

You still listen

Stern talks about Jackie once every few years

@@moneymarkmontana7052 No, I don't still listen with any regularity. I don't have to listen to hear about the idiotic things Stern says these days in order to know what the show is all about. A few RU-vid clips here and there and that's plenty for me. I stopped listening around 2015 or 16.

The show could not be worse now. And Jackie was the head writer.

Howard and the fans for the next year after quitting had to listen to Jackie appearing on various radio programs and various publications such as the New York Post Page six where he would give these BS claims regarding how he quit by saying that he was kicked off. In Jackie's warped mind offering to come back after half a year and it being declined is being kicked out. In his warped mind who cares if Greg Fitzsimmons or Adam carolla just signed to do a week's worth. And other comedians have been signed as well to do a week. Who cares if this show can discover some new people. Who cares if Artie has just signed to be full-time. The show is supposed to go pick him up after he dropped them for a half year? And these BS stories did not stop after a year he would find a new medium to tell these BS stories everywhere he could. If you really thought that Howard and the others in the crew were going to just ignore that going on and not respond you're delusional.

King of All Blacks deserved money, too. He shoulda got a million for ripping on Ronnie the Limo Driver alone..... "Is that a Cuban link? That's a Cuban link! Oh, man, come on....."

@@jamesknightley4201 What about big black lol he deserves a job with his education

Couldn't agree more about Artie. His long-form stories were awesome; the Pig Story is off the charts!! But when he interjected into the conversation... hoofah. He never got the memo that he needed to be inclusive, and every line was about Thurman Munson, The Godfather, or Animal House.... though Caddyshack made an occasional appearance. Just awful. The Jackie and BIlly years are top of the heap!

Dinosaurprince: Sorry, but that's an ignorant statement even by RU-vid standards. The only things that his accent tells us is that he learned to speak American English before he was around 12 years old and that he's most likely not African-American. He was probably raised in the US or lived here for a significant period of time during his childhood. There's zero rational reason to doubt that he's Saudi just because of his accent.

My friends family is from India and he looks like it too but he was raised here and he sounds like a normal person with no accent and his name is a India name. Kind of ignorant to assume that

@@andrewsallee3060 he sounds like a normal person..lol

You can't be this stupid, first to not know that Indian and Arabian are not only different cultures but also different races, There is nothing similar about the cultures at all. Second, every person of Arab descent that I've ever met who lives here or was born here like this guy speak completely normally. I guess you've never met people who are different from you .

Settle down Donald.
