Stern Votes for Replacements
Apparently, it will take two lesser princes to replace the King of All Media.
When Howard Stern exits the airways for satellite radio at the end of the year, Loveline host Adam Carolla and ex-Van Halen rocker David Lee Roth are set to replace him in Los Angeles and New York, respectively.
Stern himself anointed Carolla and Roth as his successors on his show Monday, further stoking speculation that began months ago when he first announced he was leaving.
The disclosure came after an hourlong skit in which Stern pretended he had been fired and immediately replaced by Roth, much to the disgust of his loyal fan base. Several radio and television station were fooled by the ruse, which featured Billy Mira impersonating Roth, and started reporting on it as a done deal before Stern copped to the joke. He then began a (presumably) serious discussion of his probable replacements.
Infinity Broadcasting, which produces Stern's show, was quick to downplay Stern's announcement. "We're talking to a lot of different people, we haven't made any announcements and there's nothing imminent," a company spokeswoman told the New York Daily News.
Neither Carolla nor Roth offered comment, but both could be considered viable candidates.
Roth, who in addition to still playing the odd concert, currently hosts the successful Diamond Dave show on a Boston-based station. Roth has been the favorite candidate of the rumor mill since SteppinOutMagazine.com first linked him to the Stern slot three weeks ago.
Carolla got his start in L.A. radio and is a frequent guest on Stern's show. He currently cohosts the nationally syndicated radio advice show Loveline. He and fellow funnyman Jimmy Kimmel showed off their raunchy comic chops on Comedy Central's now defunct The Man Show and the network announced last week that he was coming back for a new half-hour late-night talk show, Too Late with Adam Carolla.
"It's a joyous reunion--like a battered wife moving back in with her alcoholic husband," Carolla said in a release Thursday.
As for Stern, he's scheduled to move to Sirius Satellite Radio in January 2006 as part of a five year, $500 million deal that allows him to continue his radio program on a non-FCC-regulated platform. But both Stern and industry insiders have speculated that he could be off the terrestrial airwaves as early as September.
