Watching2 | Wednesday, February 26, 2003 - 10:03 pm     Am I the only one who's noticing John doesn't seem to stutter on this show? He might pause at times, but it's nothing like how he's been seen on the Stern show - which I haven't watched in years, but I remember he could hardly get a word out. I'm really liking him on this show. He should dump Howard. ;-) |
Sawheel17 | Wednesday, February 26, 2003 - 10:09 pm     Watching2, Alot of us have noticed. I think it's part do to the editing because Robin was making fun of him (John) tonight stuttering. John gets pretty bad when he is excited or po'd. |
Willsfan | Wednesday, February 26, 2003 - 10:24 pm     I watched Howard Stern last night (may have been a rerun) and John wasn't stuttering, but he didn't get the chance to get a word in edgewise with all those other guys they had on the show. They were judging two women to see if they were Playboy magazine material, and kept asking them to get naked. John did more looking than talking. |
Makeitstop | Wednesday, February 26, 2003 - 11:20 pm     He gets worse when he gets emotional about something. I hadn't seen him stutter at all on this show until the episode where he was talking about missing his family. When he choked up in the Jungle Telegraph (diary room) he started stuttering. I thought it was really sweet. Howard Stern isn't syndicated here and I haven't seen the E! show lately. Any listeners know if they are supporting John on air and getting the vote out for him? |
Buxombabe | Wednesday, February 26, 2003 - 11:24 pm     To put matters to rest about John's stuttering...he really doesn't stutter, its all an act. He does a little bit of a slip on words or hesitates, but he never stuttered for real..it seems to slip into his real life, once in a while. |
Sawheel17 | Wednesday, February 26, 2003 - 11:50 pm     Buxombabe, I think you are Robin. |
Texannie | Thursday, February 27, 2003 - 05:51 am     I have checked in with Stern on E to see if they have talked about him periodically but all they have seemed to have on were topless girls kissing each other. |
Conejo | Thursday, February 27, 2003 - 06:01 am     I thought that John's imitation of Robin last night was hilarious! |
Texannie | Thursday, February 27, 2003 - 06:09 am     I have loved all the skit/songs they have done! |
Cablejockey | Thursday, February 27, 2003 - 11:08 am     Stern seems to really hate this show and makes fun of it everyday. It certainly doesn't seem as if anyone on the morning show is supporting John. |
Grooch | Thursday, February 27, 2003 - 11:15 am     My guess that the major reason he hates it is because he believes the only reason ABC asked John to be on the show is for all the free publicity from the Howard Stern show when they talk about it. He has millions of listeners. And Howard most likely feels that he should be compensated by ABC for promoting the show. Since he is not, he doesn't want to give ABC the free publicity. That's my guess. |
Grooch | Thursday, February 27, 2003 - 11:19 am     Also, last week, they were all on vacation. |
Nathalia | Thursday, February 27, 2003 - 01:34 pm     Huh??? Stuttering John doesn't stutter for real? I've been a Stern listener for years and it's real! I actually don't like John on the Stern show but do like him on this show. He is nothing like he acts on the radio. Howard enjoys the fact that the ratings are low and the show isn't doing too good. It is true that he doesn't want to give this show any publicity. In fact, Stern refuses to talk about another show, "Are You Hot Or Not" because he believes this show is a rip-off of his own show where 3 men evaluate women to see if they are Playboy "worthy" and has his lawyers looking into how he can sue them. If you've ever listened to Howard you would know that he thinks half of the tv shows on now were all stolen from his ideas! |
Hippyt | Thursday, February 27, 2003 - 06:04 pm     'Are you hot or not' IS a total rip-off of Howard's show! And,yes John really does stutter.I think he's had a lot of speech therapy in the last few years,he seems to have a better grip on it. He does still stutter when he gets excited or emotional. |
Curlyq | Thursday, February 27, 2003 - 09:58 pm     As much as I don't usually like crude humor, his joke about Bruce Jenner and the flag cracked me up. Even Bruce had to laugh. |
Wcv63 | Thursday, February 27, 2003 - 10:43 pm     I don't like Howard Stern and never have. I tried to watch it to see what the attraction was but could never stick with it for more than 10 minutes at a time. His boarish behavior is not amusing to me. As this is my first introduction to John I must say that I find him to be real, compassionate, fair and family oriented. I have read some of his celebrity questions and although I can see why he is frequently battered it seems that celebrities should have learned the art of "no comment." |
Fruitbat | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 04:24 am     I agree, anyone who agrees to be interviewed by John certainly knows what they are going to experience. I like him on this show. I have not seen him on Howard Stern. |
Cassie | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 06:14 am     I saw him at some award show last year interviewing Janet Leigh (she must be close to 80 now, no??) and I really don't think she knew who he was. The interview was going well and he was being very nice, asking normal celebrity interview type questions and she was all smiles and cooperative. Then, out of the blue he asked "Have you ever slept with a black man?" She looked so taken aback and confused and thought she had misheard him. When he repeated the question and it sunk in that she had heard correctly, the look on her face and her reaction was priceless. I know I shouldn't have laughed but I couldn't help it. It was hilarious. |
Fruitbat | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 06:25 am     That *is* hilarious! I read some questions that he has asked over the years and I think some of them are very funny. Interviews with "stars" are usually boring. |
Cablejockey | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 08:54 am     It says a lot for John that Robin said he was dreading being on the show with him, but now they are friends. |
Laura11103 | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 10:56 am     not just friends, but the best of friends. John looked totally grief stricken when Robin got voted off. I like John too. Obviously he plays a character for Howard Stern, but he's a real guy. Boy does he have balls though to ask some of the questions he does, lol. He used to have reallllllllly long hair too, looks much better now IMO. |
Fanny | Friday, February 28, 2003 - 11:06 am     I don't watch Howard's show so I didn't have a clue who John was. But just from seeing him in this environment I'm really liking him. He appears to be a normal kind of guy, not infected with celebrity-itis. But then all of the guys, except maybe Tyson, are behaving in a less diva-like fashion than the women. Anyway, I'm finding John funny as hell. His Robin impression was dead on and the comment about Bruce & the red flag was hilarious. |
Hootyhoot | Monday, March 03, 2003 - 05:36 am     Listening to the loving message from John's wife was truly touching. Wouldn't we all like to be in a relationship like that? |
Donut | Monday, March 03, 2003 - 07:28 pm     john's agent must be going wild! I am with the rest of you.. I have followed the show for years, altho not so much the last couple, and never liked John much, but he is great on this show... i couldnt stand him when he did that boxing match... I think that maybe he was kind of wound up to be a jerk when he is on Howard and getting out of that environment where people encouraged that side of him as entertainment, has been a really good thing. I think he must have found a good drug for all his OCD, depression, anxiety and drinking problems.. and I think he is putting out an effort to turn around his image.. I think Howard is going to be way to jealous to give John many pats on the back, on air, when he gets back... he is probably afraid, and for good reason, that John is going to leave when the good offers come in.. |
Texannie | Tuesday, March 04, 2003 - 05:49 am     Have they been talking about him on Stern's show? |
