Howard started the show talking about not watching Game of Thrones but he heard the Khaleesi got naked. Howard said they say it was her too. Howard said he wants to congratulate this show for getting her naked. Howard said he now knows how much power they have and next week she's going to do naked jumping jacks. Howard said they are demanding it as fans. Howard said sex with a horse eventually too. Robin said she'll be doing porn next. Howard said she will. Howard said he didn't see the episode so he doesn't know why she got naked.
Howard said the other person who doesn't get naked enough is Megan Fox. Robin said she doesn't think she's that hot anymore. Howard told her to stop it. He said she didn't hit that wall like he did when he was 12.
Howard said he's very excited about today's show. He had the cleaning woman who cleaned up Beetlejuice's shit tell them who is on. They have Jimmy Kimmel and Steve Martin coming in today. Howard said he's been waiting a long time for Steve Martin. Howard said he was thinking about him all weekend. He was watching all of his movies. Howard said it's too much pressure for him but they'll see how he does.
Howard said he had dinner with Jimmy Kimmel last night. Howard said his wife texts JD all the time. Howard had Jimmy come in. Robin asked if he's sick because he looks thin. Howard said he has worked on his look a lot. Howard said he lost a lot of weight. Jimmy said he only hears about it from Howard. Robin asked if they're the only ones noticing. Howard asked if they call him Jimmy Clooney. Jimmy said he only hears it from them.
Jimmy said he is more excited about hearing Steve Martin on the show today. He said he wants to leave and go listen to that. Howard said he always had a philosophy that he would let Steve ask to come on the show. He said he lost hope that he'd do that but then out of the blue he got an email asking if he wanted him on the show he's available. Howard said he is excited to talk to him. He said he has a whole bunch of things to talk about. Howard said the guy is brilliant.
Jimmy said they were talking about Steve at dinner last night and he remembers his parents going to see him when he was a kid and his dad came home with an arrow through his head. He said his dad bought him his album and told him not to let his mother know. He also got his book Cruel Shoes and it was a major thing in their house. He said he had never seen anything like that.
Howard talked about the movie The Jerk and how he becomes a millionaire and he calls over the wine guy and tells him to bring out something fresh with the wine after bringing over the old stuff. Howard said he went back and watched that movie over the weekend. Howard said it holds up. Jimmy said he bets Steve hates it. Howard said he's going to ask about that. Howard said Woody Allen has talked about how he doesn't go back and watch his movies. Jimmy said that makes sense.
Howard asked Jimmy if he would ever go back and watch his old shows. Jimmy said no. He said it's not like they're good. Howard said he would watch Private Parts but not a lot. He said he'll turn it off in some scenes. Jimmy said the thing he enjoys more than anything that he's done is watching his movie with an audience. Howard said that it was the whole audience goofing on one guy. Howard asked if he ever watches reruns of Ben Stein's Money. Jimmy said no. He said he rarely does.
Howard said Jimmy is on a roll. He said he's in New York because he's going to be hosting the ABC up fronts. Howard said he has to do a lot of preparation to goof on the network and make fun of the new shows but not make too much fun. Howard said the guys that write Jimmy Kimmel Live write this stuff for him. Jimmy said he stays up the night before writing the jokes.
Howard asked about the new person picking the shows for ABC. Jimmy said it's a gal. He said it's not a guy like Howard thought. Howard asked Jimmy about the new person, Channing Dungee, who has helped develop a lot of shows. Howard said she came in and blew out a ton of shows. Howard said she went in with a hatchet and blew them out. Howard said he has to sell the new shows to the sponsors. Jimmy said he makes fun of them so he's not really selling them.
Howard said the big news is that Jimmy is not only there but he's co-hosting with Kelly Ripa this morning. Howard said he's the first since Michael Strahan announced he's leaving. Howard said there is so much mystery around this whole thing. Howard said you see her kissing and hugging Michael but you hear that behind the scenes they hate each other. Howard asked Jimmy if he'll be told not to embarrass her. Jimmy said he hopes they don't. He said there's no way they will. He said he'll ignore it if they do. Howard said that he'd like to hear her interviewed and talk about her emotions about what's going on over there. Jimmy said he will get into it. He said he has to.
Howard asked how he got the call to go in as the co-host. Jimmy said he was a guest on the show and then that whole thing went down and they asked him to co-host. Howard asked what Jimmy is going to ask. Jimmy said he has a pad of paper to write down what Howard wants him to ask. Howard said he's like Bobo with that pad of paper.
Howard asked if Jimmy voted about who is hated more on the show, Bobo or Jeff the Drunk. Jimmy said he likes Jeff's life more than Bobo's but he doesn't hate Bobo. Howard asked if he would ever watch Jeff's Periscope. Jimmy said he would if he knew how it worked. He said Wendy is his favorite right now. He said since the death of Eric the Actor he has to pick Wendy. He said he still has that Eric figure in his office. He said he loved Eric. Howard said Eric was so great. Jimmy said his wishlist still comes up. He said he doesn't want to upset his parents by buying stuff though.
Howard said Jimmy likes Wendy and Gary the Conqueror too. Jimmy said she was good as the judge. He said it was weird that she had common sense. Howard said maybe her brain has that. Jimmy said he loves the rhythm that Howard and Wendy have together. He said that Howard has the greatest chemistry with her. Howard said if anything happened to Robin he would have her on.
Howard said Bobo was voted the most hated on the show 58 percent to 42. Howard had Bobo on the phone and said he hopes he has a question for Jimmy. Bobo asked if he pulls out that piece of art that Jimmy gave him when he comes to town. He also asked Howard about Maury Povich being on and why Jimmy doesn't have him on. Jimmy said he's not sure why he'd ask him other than asking if he's ashamed of himself.
Howard asked Fred if he has any questions to ask Kelly Ripa for Jimmy to ask. Fred needed time to think. Robin asked how she's dealing with the executives at ABC. Howard said he wants to know if she will ever talk to Michael Strahan again. Howard said we know that they're not talking now. Howard said he wants to know if it's a black job too.
Fred said he wants to know if she hurt her voice yelling after the announcement. He said he wants to know why she doesn't talk to Regis too. He said they say she hasn't done that since he left the show. Fred said he also wants to know if she's afraid that they're going to shit can her show and replace it.
Howard said if he was sitting there he would want to ask her if here is anything about her personality that turned Michael off. Howard said they fell apart as an on air couple. Howard said maybe some of it is her fault. He wants to know if she sees that. Howard said throw in a question about if she enjoys anal. Robin asked if she has any input into who replaces Michael. Howard said he wants to know if Gellman is straight. Howard said he'd like him to ask if she'll take an Octoroon as a replacement. Jimmy was writing all of this down. He was cracking up at all of the questions.
Howard said he wants to know if she's ever seen Michael Strahan's penis. He told Jimmy to ask if she's ever gotten shit under her finger nails. He told her to ask if she's ever called Omarosa the N-word and things like that.
Jimmy said this is going to be some show today. Howard asked if Jimmy would ever want to do that show. Jimmy said if he lived there it might be a fun job to do. Howard asked if he would do both jobs. Jimmy said he wouldn't be able to. He said his show is relentless and he can only do one thing or the other.
Robin told Jimmy to ask if Kelly is happy the Khaleesi got naked. Howard said he wants to know that too. Jimmy congratulated Howard on getting that done.
Howard said they will bring in Bill Simmons who Jimmy brought in with him this morning. Jimmy said he's a big fan of the show. He said sports isn't really Howard's thing but this is a good way to introduce him. Howard said Jimmy could have just done the show on his own but he's not selfish. Howard said he wanted to bring him in. Jimmy said he's like Howard's ambassador. He said he also went to see Hamilton and he met Lin-Manuel Miranda back state and he's a huge fan of Howard's show too. Jimmy said he tells Howard about these people who like the show.
Howard said Jimmy has had a lot of the politicians who have been running for president on his show. Howard asked if he feels uptight having them on. Jimmy said not at all. He said celebrities have publicists who can make you lose 20 bookings but the politicians don't so you can ask anything you want. Howard said Hillary was on and did a bit. He asked if they have to submit a bit and ask if they're up for it. Jimmy said they do and most of the time they are up for it.
Howard asked how things are with the other hosts. Jimmy said things are very peaceful. He said there is an occasional thing with a music guest but most of the time they just take turns. He said that he doesn't get upset when a friend does other shows either. Howard said he doesn't believe that. Howard asked why there were problems with Leno and Letterman. Jimmy said Sarah used to go on Leno when she was dating him. He said he didn't have a problem with it.
Howard asked why it was such an issue when Leno and Letterman were on and there was arguing with the guests. Jimmy said he thinks there was some arm twisting going on with the Tonight Show. He said it was rougher than it is now. Jimmy said every once in a while they'd just take a guest from them.
Howard asked Jimmy if he has insiders who will tell him what's going on there. Howard asked if he was encouraged when he saw that Colbert was forced into a new Executive Producer. Howard said CBS put in their own Executive Producer there. Jimmy said he didn't realize they didn't have an Executive Producer there. He said they didn't fire someone. Howard said they brought someone in. Howard asked Jimmy if he had ABC tell him he had to put in a new Executive Producer would he be pissed. Jimmy said he's not sure how he'd feel.
Howard asked if he has spoken to Letterman since he left. Jimmy said he has not. Robin asked what he thinks about that beard. Jimmy said he heard him say that he grew it because everyone hates it. Howard said he had to take a break after that. He said he has to get to Bill Simmons. Howard said Jimmy had Tracy Morgan on his show. Howard said he never hears from him anymore. Jimmy said he changes his phone number every few days so maybe that's why. Howard said Jimmy is doing The View today too. Howard said he's doing all of the shows today. Howard gave him some plugs and went to break.

Howard said it was tough enough for Jimmy to do his show and he didn't need him second guessing it.
Bill said that Jimmy was doing a lot of things and he ended up on the air and they had to figure things out on the way. He said Leno was cock blocking them on guests.

Bill said he likes that Howard doesn't pretend to be a sports fan. Howard said he has so much more free time because of that.
Howard asked Bill about loving Tom Brady. Bill talked about how he got railroaded by the NFL. He said he doesn't think he deflated the balls. He said he doesn't believe he was involved in this barely cheating thing. Jimmy said he doesn't think he was doing anything that anyone else doesn't do. He said it doesn't make sense.
Howard asked Bill if he was a renegade in a way because he was working at ESPN making like 5 million a year and he criticized Roger Goodell. Bill said Roger claimed that the NFL didn't know about the Ray Rice videotape. He said that Ray admitted to them that he did this to his wife and he was suspended for 2 games. Then the tape came out and he was out. He said that he wasn't honest about the whole thing. Howard said Bill went off on him about that.

Jimmy said he thinks it's more than 10 million. Howard said that's pretty good dough. Howard said he'll keep his mouth shut.
Howard asked Jimmy about having Sarah Palin on his show. Jimmy said he didn't have her on. He said that she was doing a movie where she debunks climate change and it made him angry. He said that they have this imbecile telling people that it's not man causing it. He said he wanted to make a video so he got some real climate scientists together and they had them do a video with Sarah Palin. He said they weren't fucking with her.

Howard asked Bill he's doing okay with the podcast. Bill said it's doing okay. He said it's not making Sirius money but it's okay.

Howard took a call from a guy who said he saw Mariann from Brooklyn on Periscope this weekend. He said she's really hot. Howard said she is until you hear that voice. Howard said she's a married woman though. Howard said that he's not sure if the guy she's with is that happy.
Howard said Mariann is a very loyal fan. Howard said they made a phony phone call to her as Simon Cowell and she thought it was Simon. Howard said they were trying to get her to be his fan but she stuck to her guns. Howard got Mariann on the phone and she said that Shuli called her a few days before and talked to her about how she has to stop talking about Simon on the show. Howard said it just got him all riled up. Mariann said she was driving and she was shaking like a leaf when she got this call.
Howard played the clip of fake Simon calling Mariann and asking her to stop calling the show and bad mouthing him. Mariann told him that she's just a loyal fan. He offered her front row seats and shots of her on the show every night. Mariann said that she's not going to take any of that. Simon asked her to stop talking shit about America's Got Talent.

Howard came back and said that Steve Martin is there and he's a true genius. Howard said he has won 5 Grammys. Howard said it's really Steve. He said he never thought he'd see the day. Howard asked if he's drinking this morning. Steve said it's Iced Tea... with a little Gin. Howard asked how he is. Steve said he's good. Howard asked if he's up this early often. Steve said he is.
Howard thanked Steve for coming in. He said he's a big fan of his and he talks about what a genius he is. Howard asked if he feels he is a genius. Steve said he isn't sure what a genius in comedy is. He said that means you never fail. He said he's a working guy. Howard said Steve said he's said that it wasn't enjoyable. Steve said it is enjoyable but while you're doing it you can't enjoy it. He said you're always thinking. He said your mind is 3 seconds ahead of itself. Howard asked if he's always thinking like that. Howard said it seems like everything out of his mouth is very witty and structured very funny. Howard said he says in his book that it's very hard to do. Steve said in real life he really enjoys being funny. He said it's fun being around friends being funny. He said with Howard, Marty and others it's a lot of fun. He said he has had other friends that you have to just sit back and listen to. Howard said some guys can't do it right on stage but they do in person. Steve said it's a discipline. He said his advice is to just do everything you're offered.
Howard said that he never brings this up to Steve in person. He said that his life growing up in Texas was tough. Howard said they moved to Los Angeles and his father wanted to be an actor. Steve said he found that out later. He said his view of his childhood was that he was very happy. Then he realized that he was happy internally as a kid but maybe not so much at home. He said he didn't know there was an alternative lifestyle. He said he wasn't unhappy. He said he had a complicated relationship with his father. Howard said his father was very isolated. Steve said after he died all of these people came to him and said his father was so much fun. He said he wondered who they were talking about. He said later in life they reconciled and his dad was answering fan mail for him.
Howard said the movie The Jerk was so great but his father was critical of it. Steve said he forgot about this. He said that they went to the premier of the movie and they went out to dinner after. He said his father said nothing about the movie. He said his friend asked his dad, Glen, what he thought of it. He said he called his dad Glen too. Howard said that's odd that he didn't do that. Steve said he found out later that was odd. Steve said his friend asked Glen what he thought and he said ''Well, he's no Charlie Chaplain.'' Steve said he didn't comment but later on he wasn't getting feedback. He said if he said something to Glen he'd have a critical response to it. He said he stopped telling him about things.
Howard asked if he thinks his father was jealous of him. Steve said it's hard to interpret what he was thinking. He said he thinks he had ambitions and they stopped when he had kids. He said he had to go to work. He said maybe he was angry. Howard asked if he ever wondered why he had kids. Steve said that's what you did back then. He said you got married and had kids and became responsible. Steve said that he was fine later on in life. He said he did a part in the movie ''All of Me'' that he did.
Howard asked Steve if he thinks he had to give him that. Steve said that he was just doing it for fun. Howard said the thing he heard about his dad was that he hosted Saturday Night Live and his dad wrote an article about how bad it was. Steve said his dad came to him and he had written a little article in a newsletter that they had for a real estate thing he was in. He said one of his dad's coworkers told him that it wasn't a good idea. Steve said later in life they got close. He said when he left the house at 18 he didn't understand that you were supposed to call your parents and check in. He said he had no one to tell him that. Robin said they raised him and then you just leave.
Howard said there is a disconnect with parents. Howard asked if getting out of the house was liberating for him. Steve said it was. He said he couldn't wait to get out.
Howard said at 5 he moved to California with his family. Howard said his influences were Jack Benny, Bob Hope and guys like that. Howard said that he can see Jack Benny in his act now. Steve said he really feels his influence. He said he was a nice man and he had a strong relationship with George Burns. He said he feels like that with Martin Short. He said he feels like he's got that in Howard too.
Howard asked Steve about getting a job at 10 at Disneyland. Steve said he was living out there and it had just been built. He said they were hiring kids and he couldn't think of anything more exciting than working there. He said he rode his bicycle over there. He said those were the days when you could do that. Howard said Disneyland was an escape. Steve said his childhood wasn't ugly though. He said he liked the idea of going to Disneyland and not really just getting out of the house. He said on weekends he would sell guidebooks to people for 2 cents each. He said he could make $3 a weekend. He said that he went and bought a pair or shorts once and they were $4.50. He said his father flipped out because it was extravagant. Howard said he had the money and did it himself though. Howard said he's down on Glen over that. Steve said it was a complicated life in the 30s, 40s and 50s. He said that the father treated the family differently.
Howard asked if he was able to sit down and have a conversation with his dad. Steve said he was but he didn't get into how he hurt him or anything. He said he was very kind to him toward the end.
Howard said Steve is working at Disneyland and he's around entertainers and he waned to get into that. Steve sad he loved comedy but he never knew what a comedian was. He said wanting to be a comedian came later. He said he wanted to be on stage and he didn't sing or dance. He said he had a magic act and that was it. He said he would go see this guy Wally Gold do magic and he was always fresh when he did his show. He said he would do it hundreds of times. He said that the guy was funny. He said his fantasy when he was 12 or 13 that Wally would get sick and someone would call him and ask him to do the show that he knew so well.
Howard asked Steve about practicing magic. Steve said he would practice slight of hand and all of that. Howard said if you're not sure how to be a performer magic is the best way to get into it. Steve said Johnny Carson did that too. Steve said that you can buy a trick and they have patter written in the trick. Howard asked if he had a special name. Steve said he didn't think that far ahead.

He said she was dancing on the Smothers Brothers show. He said that he had the courage to go up to someone who was adorable and talk to her. He said she had dated Mason Williams from the show. He said she heard they were looking for young writers. He said he was under 30 and he didn't know how to write at all. Howard said the show was a lot of jokes so he's not sure how he got the job if he was writing short stories. Steve said he submitted his material and Mason liked his stuff and hired him. He said he was paying him out of his own pocket. Steve said he was writing for the Glenn Campbell show and then he got teamed up with Bob Einstein. He said that he was more experienced than he was so they ended up making a good team.
Howard asked if he was having any success with that. Steve said he was so blown away by this. He said he was only 21 and Rob Reiner was on the show with him. He said he just persevered. He said he was very anxious and nervous and had a breakdown over it. He said he learned how to write comedy though. Howard said he was writing with the best writers in comedy. Howard asked if they wrote like they did on Saturday Night Live. Steve said he and Bob would write together. He said on Saturday Night Live you pitch in front of people but this was just pitching alone.
Steve said they'd ask him to write an intro for Judy Collins and he'd just write ''Ladies and Gentlemen, Judy Collins'' and he'd be so happy about that. Steve said he was asked to go write a bit for the Smothers Brothers and he had nothing in his brain. He said he called his friend Gary Mule Deer who was a comedian. He said he would help him write jokes. He said he helped him write this bit and he was freed to start writing. He said that he had to learn how to think in a certain way. He said Gary helped him do that.
Howard said Steve says he put 10 years into crafting his comedy. Then he did 4 years of getting it perfected and then 4 more years doing it. Howard said he said it was a lonely part of his life because it was isolating. Steve said he wasn't able to go out. He said he was a loner type and he didn't hate every moment of it but there is a time when you feel so funny before having all of this success. He said there were people who saw him having all of this success and it was thrilling. He said the moments early on when you get some fame and you're on stage conducting the audience's laughter was great. Howard asked what the biggest crowd was he played to. Steve said he thinks it was 25,000. He said he thinks that Richard Pryor must have done it. Steve sad he's not sure he did.
Howard said there must have been a lot to figure out to do a show in front of so many people. Steve said it was just him and a microphone. Howard said he hated writing for TV and he wasn't able to keep going because it was a committee. Steve said he likes collaboration. He said he felt like he was watching his own comedic personality pass by. He said he felt he really had to do this. Howard said he could have gotten trapped into doing the TV writing. Howard said it's almost like a trap. Steve said he can see it like that.
Steve said he worked at Knotts Berry Farm and he thought he could get trapped there. He said he had seen people trapped there for 25 years. He said he just had to move on. Howard said the Banjo is important to him and he taught himself how to play. Steve said he picked it up around the age of 16. He said he was dating a girl whose father had a banjo he asked to borrow. He said he heard about another guy at school who played and he ended up playing with him.
Howard said he taught himself how to play by slowing the records down. Steve said that's one way to do it. He said he would slow down a 33 to a 16 speed and down tune the banjo.
Howard said Steve was also a cheerleader in high school. Howard said that's really weird to him. Howard said one of his cheers was really dark too. Steve said that was just in his act. He didn't do that for real. He said cheer leading is show business.. He said that's being on stage. He said he wasn't made fun of back then because it wasn't something to make fun of back then. He said cheerleaders were revered back then.
Howard said Steve went to college and started performing in the Knotts Berry Farm thing. Howard said after he did the play he was able to go on and play banjo and do jokes. Steve said that's where he leaned to do a 5 minute act. He said it was a great audience too.
Howard said Steve walked away from writing to get into comedy. Steve said he walked away from that and from the money. He said he did have residuals coming in but they were going away. He said he got $300 for a show and it cost him $250 to get there. He asked what to do. He said he was told by a friend to only headline. Steve said he went to a little club called Bubba's in Coconut Grove. He said that no one knew him. He said his income really dropped but that changed his life. He said once he headlined people paid attention.
Howard asked Steve if he misses those old days. Steve said no. He said there was a lot of anxiety. He said he did love working at the Bird Cage Theater. He said after that anxiety set in. He said he endured that for 15-20 years and now he's free of all of that. Howard asked if he felt he had to prove himself to his dad. Steve said he did seek approval. He said he knows that well.
Howard asked Steve if he taped his shows. Steve said he had a bit that was a sleazy guy in a bar. He said the waitress would come up and give him a glass of red wine to work with as a prop. He said one night he did tape the show and he heard himself slurring his words and he stopped drinking before shows after that. He said that he was doing a few shows a night and the waitress would keep replacing his drink. Howard said it must have been really important to him.
Howard asked Steve didn't want punch line jokes and he stopped doing them. Steve said he was studying philosophy in college and he was examining comedy. He said there are two kinds of laughter. He said one is when you watch a comedian and he says a joke and you hear the punch line. He said then there's another kind when you're home and you laugh with your friends and you laugh so hard you cry. He said you don't even know why you're laughing. He said he wondered about going for that and try to be funny and have people laughing and not know why. He said he ended up drooping any jokes he got out of joke books and stuff like that. Howard said he wonders how he knew to do that if he had no one telling him to do it.
Howard said Steve was getting into his stuff at 15 years old. Steve said there are kids at 12 on YouTube killing these days. Howard said when his act started to break big he was playing to 20,000 people a night but he was prepared for it because he was so hyper focused. Howard said he couldn't have been having fun.
Howard said he got to know of Steve when he was on Saturday Night Live. Steve said he was getting successful and he had been playing to 2000 people or so when he went on Saturday Night Live.

Steve said he was helped out by one of the producers on the Carson show. He said he can't remember his name. He said he got him on and he went on and he writes about this in his book. He said he remembers waiting in the wings thinking about how he was about to be on the Tonight Show and then after he was done he remembers he was done with it. He doesn't remember doing the show.
Steve said he thought he was going to be instantly famous after doing the show. He said he was getting it a little bit but not much. He said that he had done the show about 15 times and he went into a shop and a woman asked if he was the boy who was on the Tonight Show last night. He said he was and she just let out an ''Ugh''.
Steve said Howard has said many times that Johnny was being a dictator when he didn't have the comedians come over to the desk. Steve said he's wrong. He said that the couch thing was always worked out ahead of time. He said that it was all worked out. Howard asked why he wasn't allowed to walk over. Steve said that they do have you over after you do the show a few times. He said it was always worked out. Howard asked Steve if he ever walked over without asking. Steve said no.
Howard said Steve does the Carson show and then Johnny stopped calling. He was only on when they had a guest hot. Steve said that he was demoted. Steve said he ran out of material. He said it was as simple as that. He said when he got on with the guest hosts he was able to reorient. Howard said then he had a friendship with Johnny. Steve said that he didn't have a true friendship with him like he does with Robin or Howard. He said he went out to dinner a few times. He said Johnny liked to take about the show and people he had on and liked and didn't like. Howard asked if he was focused on himself.

He said he listened to it twice. Howard said Jimmy said he's never heard him talk like that. Howard said he was emailing back and forth and Jimmy mentioned that Wendy's birthday was yesterday and he was looking at her wishlist. He said it's hard to pick things out for her because it's a lot of bad, fattening food. Howard said Jason tried to send her something for her birthday and it was a retarded wishlist because the address was wrong. Howard said it took him 45 minutes to figure it out to get it to her. Robin asked who put that list together. Howard said he's not sure.
Howard asked Jason where the list is. He had Jimmy's email where he listed some of the stuff that she wants. Howard said Jimmy didn't know where to send it either. Howard said she has movies, video games, t-shirts in 4X size and more.
Howard said there are things other than food. Howard said Jason got her 3 Taco Bell gift cards. Howard said she wants Crucified by the FCC. Howard said he remembers editing that in his basement. He said he had a studio in his basement and that's what he came out with.
Howard read some of the gift cards she has on her list. Howard said she has all of that but no address. He said he thinks he helped her out with that.
Howard said Jason is so fat he probably didn't think it was bad to get her that stuff. Howard said Jason eats a ton of meat. He goes to meat fairs. Howard said eating that amount is bad for you. Howard said he heard Jason ate a pig's head and the eyeballs. Jason said it's a restaurant called Cannibal. He said it's half a pig head. He said the waiter said they were the delicacy so he tried them. Howard said he's disgusting. Jason said he doesn't feel disgusting. He said he knows they're smart and all but he likes pork. Howard said he should eat a human being at this point. Robin said he is at Cannibal. Jason said if people taste as good as pigs he would eat them. Jason said we better not taste that good or we're in trouble. Jason said the eyeball was good because it was marinated in something.
Jason said they had blood sausage and some things like that. Howard asked if he is worried about his health. Jason said he is but not that worried. He said he's 37 and he doesn't want to get into the discussion. He said he smoked ribs over the weekend and he loves it all. Howard said he's going to throw up.
Howard asked Jason how long he spent on the Wendy thing. Jason said he spent 45 minutes. He said Amazon says they can't find the address. He said he gets really frustrated when he can't do something so he has to figure it out. Howard said it's Wendy, not Amazon. Jason said it's so easy with other people.
Howard said he heard Wendy is in love with Jason. Jason said they do talk a lot. He said she loves talking about food. Howard asked if he could fuck her. Jason said no. He said he'd eat her though. He said he'd roast her over an open fire. Howard asked how the eyeball was. Jason said it was all black but it was squishy. He said he doesn't remember it squirting in his mouth when he ate it. Jason said he ate the ear and chin too. Jason said it has the mouth and teeth and they were making it talk and say hello to everybody. Howard said he knows the aliens will do that to us too when they come here. Jason said he just hopes they don't taste that good.
Howard said Wendy left an email yelling at him. Howard played the clip and Wendy was saying he could have done something for her birthday. She said that she wasn't asking for a lot. She was hoping for $500 and she's leaving the Wack Pack over this. Howard said she's been doing this for years. Jason said in between that she's texting him. He said it's constant. Howard said someone told her it was inappropriate so she called back and said she didn't mean what she said. Howard played that clip and Wendy said she got a puppy and named it Robin. She said someone took the dog and stole it.
Howard said he figures that someone takes the dog and sneaks it out and gives it to someone else. Jason said he hopes that's what happens. Howard said it's like what his mom would do with his Halloween candy. Howard said his mom would say that he ate it but it would just disappear. Jason said Wendy has lost whole litters of kittens. He said according to her they can't even afford to feed her. Howard said someone is feeding her because she's huge. Jason said she lives at the fast food places around her.
Howard asked Jason if he would eat a cat. Jason said he owns and loves them but if he was at a restaurant he might try it. Howard said he doesn't get him. Jason said he likes trying new stuff. Howard said Jason is very involved. He said he just vomited.
Howard said that was Jimmy and Jason with the Wendy Wishlist. Howard said he doesn't know what's going on with Wendy and the pets. He said they just disappear.

Al said this was his last album on his contract and he wanted to finish it off quietly. Then it went to number 1. Howard said there is a market for song parodies and he must have wondered. Howard said MTV helped move everything along. Al said there are a billion people doing parodies on YouTube now. He said that they say that the internet should have killed him but it just made him stronger.
Howard said Al is a very bright guy. He said his persona is out there and they don't realize that he began kindergarten early and he skipped second grade. Howard said his parents must have thought they had a genius on their hands. Al said that he graduated at 16. Howard asked if he was labeled a weirdo in school because of that. Al said when he writes a song like ''White and Nerdy'' it comes from experience. He said he was a straight A student and socially awkward. He said he wasn't one of the popular kids. He said he was one of the weirdos.
Howard said to make things worse he was at the nerd table and he was playing accordion. Al said he started that at 7 so it was part of his DNA by 16. Howard said he was into rock music so who were his influences. Al said he was listening to standard stuff like the Beatles, the Kinks and The Who. He said Dr. Demento got him into some other things. Howard said that Dr. Demento was a legendary DJ who had odd songs he'd play. Howard said he used to have a guy who would scream and yell. Al did an impression of that guy. Howard said the show was really out there. Howard said Al would listen to him and send tapes to Dr. Demento too. Al said he'd be singing along to songs on a cassette player.
Howard said Al wanted to be an architect. Al said he went to a college out in California. Howard said he did the song parodies and Dr. Demento came to his high school to talk. Al said he did and he presented him with a cassette tape there. He said Dr. Demento was in that persona that he does but that's just him.
Howard said who would think that his career would rely on Dr. Demento. Howard said he was the one who started playing his song parodies. Howard asked if he was playing his stuff before he went to college. Al said he was in his senior year in college when he took notice the most. He said he did a parody called My Bologna. Howard asked if this is the one he actually recorded in the bathroom. Al said he did re-record it. Howard said that he doesn't see it on his list. Howard said he remembers hearing it and thinking it was pretty brilliant. Howard asked why Dr. Demento picked up on that. Al said he liked that he was playing accordion. He said The Knack was very popular that summer too. Al said he recorded the song originally in a bathroom. He said Capital Records released that version.
Howard asked if Al's parents asked if he was a fucking maniac for getting into that stuff instead of being an architect. Al said his dad told him as long as he was happy then it was fine. Al said as long as he wasn't starving then that's great. Howard asked if he heard from people who he wasn't friendly with in school when he started getting noticed. Al said he did at first.
Howard said Al took a job at Westwood One and he was in the mail room. Al said he was doing minimum wage work and he was in the same building as Dr. Demento so he got to hang out. Howard asked if he got to do his songs live. Al said sometimes he would.
Howard said he did ''Another One Rides the Bus'' after that. Howard played some of that song. Howard asked if he was shocked at the reaction he got to that. Al said he was. He said he recorded that one live on the Dr. Demento show. Howard said he could barely get the words out when he was first on the radio. Howard said Al is on the show and he was on a syndicated show. Howard said if he choked up. Al said he still gets nervous. He said Another One Rides the Bus went world wide. He said that he got calls from New Zealand. He said it went super viral. Howard said it's sort of funnier when he does it live like that. Al said that you can't re-record that version of the song. He said it wouldn't be the same.
Howard said Tom Snyder had him on The Tomorrow Show. Al said he went on that show and he was calling himself Weird Al. Al said the next year ''Eat It'' hit big and then he was the start of the show with Dr. Demento as the guest.
Howard said Al did the Coolio song and wanted to do Amish Paradise. Howard said he went to Coolio and he said no at first. Howard asked if he has this right. Howard said Coolio puts out Gangster's Paradise and he does the parody and then he finds out that Coolio wasn't cool with it. Al said he didn't talk directly to Coolio but the record label said he said it was okay. He said that Stevie Wonder was fine with them using his music. Al said Coolio is fine with it now. Howard played some of the Amish Paradise song.
Howard said he is shocked that Michael Jackson was so good to him. Howard said he did ''Eat It'' and he had no problem with it. Al said he had his people talk to Michael's people. He said they put in the request and they heard that it was fine to do. Howard asked if he was shocked. Al said he was.
Howard said it must hurt when someone says they're not cool with him doing a parody. Al said it's happened very rarely in the past couple of decades. He said that early on it was tough but not so much now.
Howard asked how long it took to get permission. Al said it sometimes takes 24 hours and sometimes it's months. Howard played some ''Eat It'' and asked how much it cost to make the video for that. Al said it was maybe 40,000. He said they did a Lady Gaga video a few years ago and that was expensive. He said with his last album they had a video budget but it wasn't big budget stuff. He said that's why he teamed up with other things like Nerdist to make videos.
Howard asked if he ever met Michael Jackson. Al said he did a few times. He said he went back stage at some shows and saw him at some other events. Howard asked Al if it helps with women when he hits it big with song parodies. Al said he has played the accordion his whole life so he has no problem. Howard asked seriously if women come on to him in a way that he never experienced before. He said he's not sure what happens there. Al said everyone who is famous gets a little bit of that. He said that he would have seen through that.
Howard said Al has never done anything offensive or dirty really. Al said he can do that. He said that it falls under the family friendly thing.
Howard read about some of his other hits like ''I Lost on Jeopardy'' and played some of that song. Howard said he likes when he makes polka versions of various songs. Howard played some examples of that. Howard said he is a good singer too. He said he has to be able to do that to get the parody down. Al said that he had no idea how to do anything when he started out. He said 30 years later you get some skills.
Howard said some people were humorless when it came to parodies. Howard said he wanted to do a parody of ''Live and Let Die'' and Paul McCartney didn't want him to do it. Al said he has done some parodies with the polka thing. He said that he has to do a reduced rate because he can't afford the big rate.
Howard said Paul wasn't humorless but he didn't like that one song. Al said he didn't like the song about eating chicken. He was fine with a parody but not about chicken pot pie.
Howard asked about the parody he did with the Nirvana song. Al said he talked to Kurt when he was doing Saturday Night Live. He said he congratulated him on the success of his album and he later found out he hated that. Howard asked how long the phone call went with that. Al said he thinks it was just a couple of minutes. He said he talked to him and told him what he was going to do to the parody of Smells like Teen Spirit. He said Kurt was fine with him doing it about how no one understands his lyrics. Howard said he loves the video for this song too. Howard played some of that song too.
Howard said he looked kind of cool in that video. He said it wasn't really a total goof. Howard asked if it was fun to shoot. Al said it was. He said they had a lot of the same people who were in the original video. He said they got the same janitor and same cheerleader and some of the crowd too. He said they were wondering if it was disrespectful. Howard asked what Kurt thought about it. Al said he loved it. He said one of the quotes was that Kurt didn't realize that he had made it until he saw his video.
Howard said it must cost a lot to make that video. Howard said MTV was great with that because the record company would get behind it. Al said it wasn't super expensive. He said it was like a one day shoot. He said that he thinks that his manager directed that one. Howard said he has been asked to direct other videos. He asked if he likes that. Al said he does. He said he'd directed a few.
Howard said Prince refused to give permission to do song parodies. Al wanted to do about half a dozen parodies and he always said no. Howard said now that he's dead maybe he can do it. Al said no. Howard said he should go back and do it now. Al said no.
Howard said Prince was a genius but he made a lot of dicky moves. Howard said Al was near him in the American Music Awards and he was told not to look him in the eyes. Al said he got a telegram from his office and he was asked not to. He said that he wasn't the only one. He said some other people in the area were told the same thing. Howard said you get to see some really funny things in the music business. Al said Prince used to bring his bodyguard with him on stage with him. He said it was a strange thing. Howard asked Al what he does when he gets something like that in the mail. Howard asked if he curses in his personal life. Al said no. Howard said that is the sign of a smart person. Howard said he's not smart so he curses all the time. Al said he never curses. He said it's just the way he was brought up.
Howard said Al's parents died in a strange way. Howard said in 2003 he lost them because there was a faulty carbon monoxide sensor in the house. Howard said he remembers reading about that. Howard asked if they didn't have one or was it faulty. Al said that he thinks they didn't have one. He said he would suggest that everyone have one because it can save your life. He said they started a fire and they went to bed and the flue wasn't open. He said they went to bed and never woke up.
Howard said Al was on tour at the time and he went out and performed. Howard asked if he can block that out. Al said he had to do that. He said it is a ''the show must go on'' kind of guy. He said he has a band and a crew and people change their lives to come to the show. Al said he wasn't going to say anything to the crowd but within hours of it happening it was international news. He said he did the show in memory of his parents. Howard asked if the audience was different when that's going on. Howard asked if he's concerned that the audience won't laugh. Al said it was really tough. He said he didn't do any meet and greets. He said he did 2 hours on stage and then went into his own world. Howard said it's such a waste and so sad. Howard asked if he has any siblings. Al said he doesn't. He said he was married and his daughter was a year old. Howard asked if she's going to be doing song parodies. Al said she won't be doing them. He said a year ago she came to him and asked for accordion lessons. He said he was happy with that.
Howard asked if Al becomes an over protective parent after that happens to his parents. Al said he grew up in a very protective home. He said his daughter is very protected and she's very adult minded. He said he's not worried about her at all. He said she's not going along with her friends. He said she has a good head on her shoulders.
Howard asked Al if he went to a shrink for his parents death. Al said no. He said he got the support from the fans and it meant a lot. He said it's very therapeutic. He said that his fans have told him that his music has helped them and they have helped him now.
Howard said that Eminem is another guy who turned Al down with a song. Al said he let him do a song parody and he wanted to do the video but he didn't want to let him do the video. Howard asked why that is. Al said good question. Howard said you'd think they'd be able to get permission for both.
Howard said Al wanted to do a polka medley of Led Zeppelin songs but Jimmy Page didn't want to let him do it. Al said later on he did let him do some stuff with their music. Howard asked if anyone comes to him and asks him why he's not doing a parody. Al said he's had people ask when he's going to do one of their songs. He said it just has to grab him.
Howard said Al has won a Grammy. Al said it's 4. He said he won for ''Eat It.'' He said that was like 1984. He won for best Comedy Album and beat Rodney Dangerfield. Howard asked if he thanked Dr. Demento. Al said he thinks he did but it was a long time ago.
Howard said as gracious as Michael Jackson was he didn't want him to do a parody of ''Black or White.'' Al said he may have saved him with that. He said his movie was out and tanking and he thought maybe he had to go back to doing Michael Jackson parodies.
Howard said he did the movie ''UHF'' and it looked like it was going to do well. Al said it tested very well. Howard said the movie comes out and it tanks. Howard said it had a $5 million budget and made maybe $6 million. Al said he was in a slump for a few years after that. He said it was like he was a ghost to the industry after that. Al said after that they didn't want him looking at them like they were Prince. Howard said Al was going to save the studio but then he stopped getting calls. Howard said it's just awful.
Howard asked Al if he stopped going out and worried about it affecting his life. Al said he did think about how it could end his career. He said he thought about going back to the architecture career. Al said he lives well within his means. He said he always remembers what it's like working for minimum wage. Howard said then the Nirvana song parody came out and he did really well with that.
Howard said Al is there because he's out on tour. Howard said it's the Mandatory Fun Tour. Howard said it's Al and his band and costume changes. Al said he has like 3 more costume changes than Lady Gaga does. He said that they have a big screen on stage and they'll do a song and some funny videos while he's changing. He said he does a show for about 2 hours. He said it's the one work out he does.
Howard asked about Lady Gaga letting him do a parody of her song. Al said they were working with her manager and he gave them a hard time. He said it wasn't so easy. Al said they weren't going to approve it if they didn't hear the song. Al said they had to record the song and send it off to them and then they said no. He said what he did was put it online and told everyone that it didn't get approved. He said that he wanted the fans to hear it and within 24 hours the media went nuts on it. He said TMZ was asking why she didn't let him do it. Lady Gaga said she was fine with him doing it and she had no idea they were turning it down. Howard played some of the parody that they were talking about.
Howard asked who tours with Al. Al said they do a 2 hour show so it's just him. He said he doesn't want anyone to burst their bladder.
Howard said Al opened for the Monkees too. Al said he and Jimi Hendrix did. He said not at the same time though. Al said they didn't pay him what they said they were going to pay him though.
Howard asked if he gets into politics. Al said that he is but he doesn't get into it publicly. Howard said he wonders who he is supporting. Howard said he's very religious and no cursing.

Howard played the Ham Hands Bill song parody where he talks about why he has ham hands and why Robin likes high colonics and likes taking it in the third input.
Howard said back then it wasn't so easy to enter a contest. He said you had to record it on a cassette and mail it in. Howard wondered if he has out takes of that song. He said he should ask Bill. He hopes he has a vault like Prince does.
Howard said the best part of the contest was the prize was a Jet Ski and Bill was in a wheelchair. Howard played a clip from the show when Bill came in for the first time.

Howard said he gets the impression that was the highlight of his life.

Howard asked Bobo if he has any questions today. Bobo asked if Howard is still painting and ran down some of the stuff that Shuli fed him the other day. Howard said he has to tell him something. Howard said that's a pretty good question. He asked why it strikes him as something that someone else wrote for him. Howard said there is no way he came up with that. He asked about Paul Sazon and Rembrandt. Bobo said his mother was a painter so he knows. Bobo said Vincent Van Gough came up too and Bobo gave him some facts about him. Howard said he never said on the air that he likes Sazon. He said someone else had to come up with that.
Howard asked Bobo if he wrote that question. Bobo said he writes them all but he has some help sometimes. Howard said this show is about honesty. Howard said he feels he's being dishonest. Howard said it's probably the greatest one he's ever asked and this is out of sync with what he asks. Howard said Bobo knows it. Robin asked if he looked for help. Bobo said he got seasoned a little bit. Howard asked what he's talking about. Bobo said someone helps him out a little bit. He said it's the fans.

Howard said he has to let Sal go. He said he loves him and he will give him a recommendation but he can't trust him. Sal said Bobo is lying. He said he had better come clean. Howard said Bobo would never lie to him. Bobo told Sal not to lie to him. Bobo sighed and said they put him in such a ''cragmire'' (quagmire) there. Bobo said he was at an all time low. Bobo said he can't do that to Sal. Sal said he's a low life piece of shit.
Howard asked Sal if he gave Bobo that question. Sal said he didn't. Howard asked Bobo if he wasn't being honest. Bobo said he has to be truthful. He said it wasn't Sal. Howard asked who it was. Bobo said this is the hardest ever. Bobo said he had a temporary lapse in his judgment. He said he always crafts his own. Howard told him to just give it to him so he can handle this.
Howard said he has to ban Bobo if he doesn't give up the information. Bobo said he has to go to church if he gives this up. He said he doesn't lie. He said he goes to church and prays all the time. Howard said he's a little more important than church. Robin asked how he lied about Sal then. Howard said he has to ban Bobo for the summer.

Sal said he almost got fired because of Shuli. He said Shuli is a spineless jellyfish.
Howard said he bets that Shuli told Bobo not to tell him. Bobo said he thought it would be a good question. Bobo said he doesn't remember him telling him not to tell Howard. Howard asked Shuli where he's going to work now. He said he's a broken down comic. Howard thanked Bobo for doing this. He said he gave him a shot on radio when he was pushing people around in a wheelchair at the airport. Howard said he has to fire him. Bobo said he has children. Howard said that's too bad.

Howard said he never should have given up Shuli. Bobo said he can't lie to Howard. Sal said he did lie to him. Howard said it was interesting that he protected Shuli and gave up Sal. Bobo said he likes both of them. Sal said his kids were about to be out on the street. Howard said they just pranked Bobo. He said they have to work out goofs to make him interesting. Howard said they put the whole organization into it to make him interesting.
Shuli said he's surprised he gave him up. He said he really didn't think he would. Bobo said that he had Howard saying that he can't lie to him and he had to give it up. Howard said he loved that he gave Sal up. Howard said this is like what goes on in court every day. Howard said this is why innocent people go to prison. Shuli said they can try it with someone else in a few months. He said it was an interesting social experiment.

Brent told Howard Alex is on the internet and on some radio network. Gary said Brent has some questions about 9/11. Brent said he doesn't know what happened but building 7 fell into itself. He asked why it came down. Howard asked if he knows anything about buildings. Brent said no. Howard asked why he wouldn't just accept that it collapsed. Howard asked if anyone in government can come up with some big plan like this just to start a war. Brent said there was a guy who owned building 7 that got a big payout for taking it down. Brent said the other two had come down already. He said he even said that they decided to ''pull the building.'' Howard asked if he thinks Prince was killed. Brent said no. Howard asked about some of the other conspiracy theories and Brent didn't believe those. He did think that JFK wasn't shot by Oswald.
Howard played a clip of Alex Jones talking about Michelle Obama and thinking she's a man. Howard said that's just fucking crazy. Howard said this is like what Dick Gregory is doing. Howard said it's some kind of new thing that people are making money off of.
Howard took a call from a guy who brought up 9/11 and why they're testing this plane thing. He said that the amount of fuel the plane had should have burned off without taking the building down. Howard said he believes the planes went into the buildings and took them down. Howard asked if he's crazy. The caller said the people who know the science say that doesn't change. Howard asked the caller what he thinks happened. The caller said it's way beyond him. He said that's why they're doing the testing. Howard said shit just happens when you fly planes into buildings.
Howard asked if he should get into this too. Brent said that Alex does this thing called money bombs where he asks his audience for money to build studios and stuff.
Howard played more of Alex Jones talking about thinking Michelle Obama is a transgender. Howard asked what this is. He played more of Jones saying that Joan Rivers is dead and she once said that everyone knows Michelle is a tranny. Howard said this is crazy.
Howard said Dick Gregory was brilliant but now he's reduced himself to this kind of stuff. Howard said it sounds insane. Brent said you have to pick and choose which ones to believe. Howard asked which ones he believes. Brent said the JFK thing. Brent talked about the brains coming out the back and that doesn't happen when you're shot from behind. Howard said that one is tough to disprove. Howard said other than that he hasn't heard one good conspiracy theory.
Brent asked about the CIA selling crack in L.A. in the early 80s. Howard said he can believe that. Howard said he remembers reading about how the government gave black people syphilis. Howard said maybe he can get into this.
Brent brought up a theory about AIDS being introduced by giving gay people what they thought was a vaccination. Howard said he doesn't believe that.
Howard said the reason he heard AIDS came about was because they were making vaccines for something and they used monkey something or other to grow the vaccine and it came from that. Brent said that makes more sense to him than the story he heard.
Howard said Brent has theories on serial killers too. Brent said he studied them. He said he used to have a show about them. Howard asked Brent about who he thinks is the most evil. Brent mentioned a couple of guys like Jeffrey Dahmer and Tommy Lynn Sells who were pretty evil. Brent said that there was a guy named H.H. Holmes around the turn of the century. He said there's a movie coming out about him with Leonardo DiCaprio playing the guy. Brent said the zodiac killer was another one. Howard said that he's a conspiracy theorist.
Howard said they should come up with a show about that stuff. Howard said he has a theory but he can't prove it. Howard said he has a theory that Richard Simmons likes guys. Howard said he has never seen him on a date with a woman. Robin said he went out with her. Howard said there goes that theory. Howard asked if he fucked her. Robin said she will never tell.
Howard said he has to come up with just crazy shit and say it and it becomes a theory. Howard said David Hasselhoff has two penises.
Howard said he has a lot of respect for Dick Gregory based on his past career. Robin said she has run into him a few times on the plane or on a train. She said she says hello and he's very nice. Howard asked what she says to him. Robin said she just says hi. Robin said he doesn't seem crazy on the train. Gary said he thinks Trayvon Martin was killed to harvest his organs. He has a bunch of others. He thinks Cosby was taken down because of white supremacy.
Howard and Brent talked about Kim Jong Un and what's going on in North Korea. Brent said he was in the military and he said he killed someone back in 1991. He said he hates even bringing it up. He said it's a terrible feeling. He said he was in a helicopter and he had to take them out because they were shooting at the helicopter. He said it was a 50 caliber that he took them out with. Brent said that the oil fields were on fire in 1991 and they had about 1/8th of a mile visibility. He said he returned fire after asking for permission. Brent said the pilot is in charge of the aircraft and you have to ask permission before doing anything. He said he asked for permission and the pilot asked what he was waiting for.
Howard asked if he saw the guy go down. Brent said it was a bunch of guys firing at them and it was really scary. He said they took a couple of shots to the tail. He said the pilot flew really low and that can help from them getting hit. Brent said they had to go back and check the area to see what had gone on. He said that they went back and saw charred dead bodies and body parts.
Brent said you go back and see and there was a lot of death and destruction in Kuwait. He said he was 19 years old at the time. He said he signed up before he was out of high school. He ended up going into the Marine corps. He said he was going to go into the air force but they challenged him and he ended up doing that instead.
Howard said now he feels compelled to tell one of his stories. Howard asked Brent if he knows all of that tango terminology stuff. Brent said not really. Howard said he used to hear him talking about that stuff on Bubba's show and it was fascinating.
Howard said that's so heavy taking fire in the air. Brent said it really is. He said just a stray round can stop the rotor from spinning and you have no chance after that. He said the fighters over there were terrible. He said it's the same people who became ISIS. Howard asked if they could be taken out easily. Brent said they could but they'd have to put ground troops in Syria. He said that ISIS has about 30,000 fighters and it would take a couple hundred thousand to take them out.
Brent talked about how he had PTSD and how he cured it with weed. Howard said Brent has a theory that cancer can be cured by weed. Brent said it's been proven that it can.
Gary told Howard that Sal has a theory about Hillary Clinton killing someone and he thinks Brent would go with it. Gary said Sal has been coming to him all morning about that. Howard said Sal is practically retarded. Brent said that he is a comedic genius though.
Sal came in with the conspiracy theory about Hillary killing some guy and about how Obama has killed this country. He said we all know he's destroyed America. Robin asked how we're destroyed. Sal said he's not putting the military in Syria. Howard said it's another war we can't finish. Sal said the thugs are coming here and Obama is allowing it. Sal asked if he's kidding him. Robin said Sal is an empty vessel for hatred to be planted in. Sal said he's the most loving person.
Brent said he thinks all of our troops should be brought home from around the world. Howard asked Brent if he can debate a guy who believes a woman can talk to dead people. Sal said Hillary Clinton called a bunch of kids ''retards'' and that was on the internet. Brent said it's from a source that is like the Weekly World News. Howard said he's inclined to believe Sal because his bed levitated when he was a child. Sal said if he wants to condemn his character that's fine. He said he can't explain why his bed levitated. He said he opened his eyes and his nose was touching the ceiling. Howard asked if it could have been a dream. Sal said he doesn't know but it happened. He said his mother heard it. He said he yelled out to his mother and she heard him yell.
Howard asked Brent if he hates when people who have never been in the military talk about sending troops out. Brent said it's the worst. He said that he has brothers and sisters who will never be the same again after going to war. Howard said Sal is ready to invade. Sal said when you have roaches you fumigate. Howard asked Sal why he's not in the military. Sal said he's too old. Howard said he is not. Robin said every time we go over there things get worse.
Howard said Sal believes his dad talked to dead relatives when he was in a coma. Sal said he did. He said he came out of it and told him. Fred said if you see a dragon in a dream is it real? Sal said that's a dream. He said that his dad was in a coma.
Howard asked Sal why he thinks there's a sleeper cell in his neighborhood. Sal said they have an unkempt lawn... Howard cracked up. Sal said they have sheets for curtains. He said at 2 or 3 in the morning the lights are on. During the day the lights are off. Howard asked if they are Middle Eastern types. Sal said he's not sure where they're from. He said not all Middle Eastern people are bad. Sal said that he lives in an area that has a lot of Middle Eastern people there. Brent said he fits right in then. Sal told him to fuck off.
Howard said he'll listen to Brent about the military but not chicken hawks like Sal. Sal said he's trying to protect them. He said he wants to get rid of the enemy but he's not in charge. Howard told Sal to tell them about going to the booths to jerk off and having a guy push his head into his own jizz when he sprayed on the wall. Sal said he was out at a show and someone jerked off on the window. He said a guy told him to go look at this chick and he stepped in and his nose touched the window and it was the guy's jizz on the window. Sal asked what that has to do with this.
Gary came in and said Sal once went to a jerk off booth and put the phone to his ear. He told Sal to tell that story. Sal said he went into the booth and the partition goes up and there's a girl there but you can't hear her. He said there's a phone there so she told him to pick it up. He said someone jerked off on the phone so he got jizz on his ear and face. He said he was so drunk he just wiped it on his shirt and kept going.
Howard said Sal was drawn to the booths when he was in 4th grade. Sal said he went into the city for a school trip and he walked into one of the porn shops. He said he was drawn to it and he's not sure why. He said his teacher had to drag him out. Howard thanked the guys and went to break a short time later.

Howard came back and said he has Andy Samberg there. Howard said Andy is known from Saturday Night Live and the digital shorts he did on the show. Howard said he looks good. Howard said he usually has long hair. Andy said he cut it for the movie this way. Howard said he was trying to watch the movie last night on the Pix box. Howard said he was up at 2 in the morning laughing his ass off and then it gets cut off a half hour into it. Howard said he was really bummed. Howard said the movie was really funny. He said the movie is called Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping. Andy said it's like a pop documentary. Howard said he thought Bieber was a douche before he saw his movie. Andy said they thought the same thing about One Direction. He said they watched all of them to research the movie. Howard said with Popstar it seems like there's a joke a minute or more. He said they come really rapidly. Howard said he's not sure if Andy is a fan of hip hop or he hates it. Andy said he's a massive fan. He said there is so much surrounding it now that it's really funny.
Howard said Andy becomes famous in the movie and he goes solo. He said his entourage has an eyebrow specialist and in the group he has over 100 producers for his solo album. Howard said music back when he was growing up there was one producer. Howard said it's such a good observation that they have like 57,000 producers on every album.
Howard asked why Judd Apatow produced this and not Lorne Michaels. Andy said he and his friends had been talking about doing a movie like this. Howard said this is really cool. He said Andy met these guys in school Akiva and Jorma who work with him on this stuff. Andy said the best stuff he's worked on he worked on with them. Howard said the three of them auditioned together for Saturday Night Live. Andy said that a three person team doesn't usually get hired.
Howard said all Andy wanted to do was get on Saturday Night Live when he was 8 years old. Andy said he was into WWF wrestling. He said he was upset a little bit when he found out it was fake. He said once someone told him it did make sense. He said they used to cut themselves and that's not fake. Howard said it was orchestrated though. Andy said he would stay up to watch wrestling and he would see Saturday Night Live on instead. He said he got into Saturday Night Live when Hartman, Lovitz and Jan Hooks were on. He said he loved Dana Carvey. He said he wanted to do it but wasn't sure if he could. He said when Sandler got big he thought he could do it.
Howard said he thought of Andy as the new Sandler on the show. Andy said people do call him Adam. He said the Paparazzi call him that all the time. Howard said he should answer as Adam. Andy said he has taken a picture with someone who thought he was Adam and he didn't tell them. Andy said there are certain times when his name gets messed up and it hurts.
Howard said Andy did a film with Adam. He asked if he will talk to him about his career. Andy said Adam reached out really early on and talked to him about how great he was doing and wished him luck. Howard said he may have identified with him because he was so in tune with the musical aspect of the show. Howard said he thinks Andy made the show young again. He said that kind of comedy he was doing was more for younger guys. Howard said he made it young and hip. Andy said he just didn't believe they were airing stuff they were making. He said later on they started thinking that it had an impact on the show.
Howard asked Andy about his childhood and growing up seeing Steve Martin. He said he threw up when he met Steve Martin for the first time. Andy said it's so weird to grow up watching something and then seeing it in person. He said that's what it's like meeting Howard right now. Howard asked him about his audition and Andy said he heard Tina Fey laugh at his impression of Jimmy Fallon. He said he's not an impressions guy and they got the audition because they were writing for Jimmy Fallon for the MTV movie awards. He said Jimmy was really looking out for them. He said that Jimmy recommended them to Lorne.
Howard said Andy's name isn't Andy. Andy said it was David when he was born. Howard asked why he changed it to Andy from David. Howard said it seems like David might be better. Andy said David was his grandfather's name and it is kind of insulting that he changed it. He said he wanted to change it at 5 and his mom was okay with it. Howard said he hated his name too. Andy said it's not too late to change it. Howard said he wanted it to be Paul or something. Andy said Paul Stern is good. Howard said he wanted to change his radio name to Miles August but it just doesn't fit. Howard said Andy did it and his family started calling him Andy. Andy said they were very open minded to it.
Andy said he went to Berkeley High School and it was a big school. He said he wasn't unpopular but he wasn't super popular. He said he was shy but not like at home pining.
Howard asked if finding this team of Akiva and Jorma helped him out being funny. Andy said it did. Howard said Andy went off to New York to college and those guys stayed behind. Howard said they kept going back to each other though. Howard said that's really unusual. Andy said he made some dumb stuff at NYU. He said Akiva and Jorma made some stuff together out there. He said they were making the same shit so they had to stick together.
Howard said he had friends who went on to do totally different things. Howard said it's amazing that the three of them stuck to it. Andy said he loves that Seinfeld documentary because he talks about that too. Howard said you see friends moving on and getting careers and all of that. Howard said Andy gets out of school and he is an assistant at Spin City or something. Howard said he got coffee there. Andy said the first year there was rough. He said that happens to everyone the first year out of college.
Howard asked Andy made a film in college and it was a commercial parody for a fragrance called Cock. Andy said the CK at the end was big like Calvin Klein. Andy said his teacher saw that he was taking this stuff seriously. He said they would screen what they made in class and 5 people would laugh hysterically and the rest wouldn't laugh at all. He said at least he got the 5.
Howard said he did the King Schmaltz Bagel Hour and his dad told him he can't go on the air doing that crazy shit. Howard said he took his comments for real and gave up on that for a while to be a serious announcer. Howard said people can ruin your dream. Andy asked if that helped him to come back to do goofier stuff and maybe he's the best of both worlds. Howard said some of that is true. Howard said maybe Andy learned from working at Spin City how a TV show is structured.
Howard asked if it's true he used to dream about being friends with people at Saturday Night Live before he got the job. Andy said he did and then he got it and he was like ''I dreamt this!'' when he got there.
Howard said he thinks Andy has really succeeded. Howard said he Akiva and Jorma got out of school and Andy goes to L.A. Howard said they had made a TV pilot and they gave it to someone at FOX and the show was made. Howard said they had some funny sketches in it. Andy said they were on their way to making something good. Howard asked if he was heartbroken when it wasn't picked up. Andy said they didn't expect FOX to put it on the air. He said they got the money to make the pilot and it was a good experience. Howard asked if they thought they were on their way after that. Howard asked what it was called. Andy said it was Awesome Town. Howard said he saw the pilot online and it was good. Howard said they produced it and did it all. Andy said he hated the laugh track. He said they were still learning so they got pushed around. He said they had 30 minutes to get the laugh track in there. He said they made it all super bizarre.
Howard said Andy gets the pilot so does he think it's all over. Andy said no. He said they were educated enough to know that things can keep going. He said they kind of just doubled down after that. Howard asked how old he was. Andy said he was 25. Howard said people think he was an overnight sensation but it wasn't like that.
Howard asked how he got the job writing for Jimmy Fallon for the MTV Movie Awards. Andy said his buddy Murray Miller who was a friend from summer camp hooked him up. He said he's the best too. He said he's hooked him up a bunch of times. Andy said he wrote for Lindsay Lohan and then they did a lot for Fallon that got on the air. He said once they were in the MTV system they were asked to come back. Andy said Jimmy brought a bunch of Saturday Night Live writers with him to write that stuff. Howard said 25 is pretty young to get into a room with Jimmy Fallon and the guys at Saturday Night Live. Andy said once they respond well it gives you confidence.
Howard asked what camp he went to where he met all of these people. Andy said it's Yosemite base camp. Howard asked what it is when he's raised by hippies. He asked if they're walking around naked all the time. Andy said it's like that when you're young but then when the kids get older they yell at the parents to put some pants on.
Howard asked Andy if he's a drug guy. Andy said not huge. He said weed wasn't a big thing growing up. Howard said he saw his mom naked once and it was traumatic. He said he saw his dad's penis too. Andy said he doesn't think he ever saw his dad's wang. Howard said his mom had a crazy bush. Howard said his dad had a nice penis though.
Howard said Andy works for Fallon on MTV and then Fallon recommends him to Lorne Michaels. Howard said Andy and his buddies go in and want to do digital shorts. Howard asked if it's awkward to tell his friends that he is the guy who is going to be on camera. Andy said that had been his dream since they knew him and it wasn't their dream so it worked out. He said Akiva had no interest in being on camera and Jorma had done theater but it wasn't what he wanted to do.
Howard asked how the audition went. Andy said he was asked to do it first. He said the three of them wrote the audition together. He said it's like 5-8 minutes long. He said he had to come up with some impressions. He said he did Alan Rickman in Die Hard. He said it was all just shitty bits. Howard said if Lorne laughs at that then you're in. Andy said he hoped to just create a fun vibe in the room and he'd get the job. Howard said that's what Steve Martin says too.
Howard asked if he has to come up with specific material when he does his Fallon impression. Andy said he did Fallon at a funeral. He said he was all happy at the funeral. He did a little bit of that impression. Howard asked if he takes those bits and performs them at clubs first. Andy said he did. He said he did a back room at a bar. Howard said that must have been the hardest 7 minutes ever. Andy said once he got a laugh he was good. Howard said then he had to audition a second time. Andy said it was a couple weeks later. Howard asked if he lost confidence after that. Andy said that you can do the same stuff the second time. He said the day before it he was tipped off not to do the same stuff. He said he had to write a whole new audition in two days. Andy said he thinks they told him to do that to see if he could respond quickly. He said he came up with some dumb shit but it clinched him the show. He said he was in New York and bought some old jogging shorts and he was dicking around with his friend Liz and he was an out of breath jogger from the 80s. He said he made a bunch of shitty 80s references and that's what he did in the audition. He said he came up with that the night before. He said he did that character on Saturday Night Live twice and the second time Paul McCartney was a few feet from him.
Howard said Lorne saw that he worked well with his two friends and he hired both of them too. Howard said that's rare. Andy said they sent in a writing packet together. He said Jorma auditioned the second time he went. He said after they were hired they made something on their own and they asked if they would ever air it. Andy said they did it with the cast and it was the Lettuce digital short. He said it was him and Will Forte eating lettuce over a serious conversation. He said they aired it and they were blown away. Andy said YouTube wasn't a big thing at the time but then it took off and it helped them out. Howard said he thinks Lorne would credit him with making that stuff go viral.
Howard said he really loved that Dick in a Box thing they did. He said he liked the one where they parody rap songs where everyone is on a yacht. Howard said everything was on a yacht. Howard said those digital shorts are great but not everyone gets to do them. Howard said Mr. Bill was something and the Ambiguously Gay Duo was another. Andy said Albert Brooks was the beginning. He said Adam McKay did them before they did.
Howard asked if Andy became Lorne's favorite after that. Howard said he put Andy in a movie that he didn't put anyone else from the cast in. Andy said he can say that he isn't Lorne's favorite. He said he never got to go to his Hamptons house. He said he is close to him but Wiig was his favorite. He said Hader is up there too. He said they had a great cast.
Howard said that Andy did 7 years on Saturday Night Live. He said that he made Justin Timberlake huge with that Dick in a Box thing. Andy said he, Akiva and Jorma wrote that. He said Justin had hosted before and he killed. He said when they first met with him they weren't sure what to do with him. He said they all loved early 90s R&B so they did that. He said that he pitched Justin the idea and he told them that it was going to be a hit. Howard said some stuff is so dumb that you don't know if the audience will get it.
Howard said Andy says that the best bits they put on Saturday Night Live are the ones they put on later in the show. Howard asked if he ever had something he thought would be a hit that he didn't get on. Andy said not something that would be a hit. Howard said Dick in a Box was a hit so he wonders if he can lay back for a couple of weeks after that. Andy said the hardest for that was doing the follow up to Lazy Sunday. He said they did a Young Chuck Norris bit with Andrew Steel writing most of it. He said they loved the idea and they did a pre-tape on it. He said it was about young Chuck Norris' legend. He said it got kind of panned though. Andy said he watches the show every week now. He said he tries to remember how intense it is there. Howard said Andy got sick a lot from not resting enough over there. Andy said it was tough. Howard said it's hard to stay healthy. Andy said he was sick a lot.
Howard asked how he knew it was time to end his run on the show. Andy said he was mentally and physically worn out. He said he was staying up all night writing for the live show and doing the digital shorts. He said he was staying up all night Thursday and Friday. He said he was wrecked by Sunday.
Howard asked if it's true that people would pee in a jar instead of walking to the bathroom. Andy said he hated walking to the bathroom. He said he never peed in a jar but he'd ask someone to go with him. He said he'd get lonely on the walk. Howard said he really needs his two partners. Howard asked if his wife has filled in that need. Andy laughed and said they're all married now so it's much better.
Howard said Andy was introduced to his wife by Fred Armisen. Andy said she's a musician and she's a singer songwriter. He said she writes her own songs. Howard said that has to be the greatest aphrodisiac. Andy said musicians think that comedians are the best. He said they both admire each other. He said he and Fred used to talk about that because Fred did both.
Howard asked if Timberlake loves him because of Dick in the Box. Andy said they are friends but they don't hang out constantly. Howard asked if he feels that Jimmy Fallon stole him from him. Andy said Jimmy worked with him first so it's not like that.
Howard asked Andy if he gets nervous when someone famous asks him to go out to dinner. Andy said he's not too bad with that.
Howard asked who his favorite Saturday Night Live guys were. Andy said he really liked Mike Meyers. He said he went back and watched Gilda Radner on the show too and he was blown away by her.
Howard asked Andy about being ranked pretty high in the list of Saturday Night Live cast members. Andy said there were so many more that he thought should have been ahead of him. Howard said that was in Rolling Stone. Howard said it's a strange thing.
Howard said Andy won a Golden Globe. Howard asked if that's important to him. Andy said he won 2 but he thinks it's complete bullshit until he wins one. He said he had gotten back from his honeymoon the day before and he figured there was no way he was going to win so he was unprepared. He said he was told it was okay but he's not sure it was because he didn't watch it. He said he forgot to thank Lorne Michaels and his parents. He said he
Howard said he won a Grammy against real rap songs. Andy said that they were nominated but didn't win. Howard said Andy beat out Jimmy Fallon and Fred Armisen. Andy said that's not right.
Howard asked Andy about how he met his wife Joanna Newsom. Andy said Fred Armisen was telling him about this girl and he went to see her in concert a few times. He said Fred had met her and wanted to introduce them. Howard asked if Fred wanted her. Andy said he thinks that Fred wants everyone. He said he doesn't think Fred was after her.
Andy said they went back stage and Fred introduced him. He said that she saw him and she says ''You're the cunt'' and she was referring to this Lonely Island video they made and he was in it for like a second. He said that she was a fan.
Howard asked if he thought he could get her right then. Andy said he knew it was less awkward when they met because of that. Howard said he was on Saturday Night Live for a while then. Andy said he was halfway through his second season. Howard asked if he got a lot of attention the show because he is the cute guy. Andy said it was way more than he had before but that was because he was a known person. He said if you're famous you have people paying attention to you.
Howard asked how Andy got close to Joanna. Andy said they became friends and a lot longer down the line they went out. He said it was at least a year or so. Howard said he doesn't have that ability to wait like that. Howard said he doesn't have friendships like that. Andy said he has sisters and he's from Berkeley. Howard said he wouldn't know how to do that.
Andy said he knew her pretty well at that point and he dated her for like 5 or 6 years. He said then they got married. He said they don't have kids though. He said she's busy touring.
Howard said Andy left Saturday Night Live because he was getting sick and all of that. Andy said he was scared to leave. He said any time you're in entertainment it's scary. Howard said the movie Hot Rod didn't do very well. He said it didn't take off. Howard asked if that ruins some of his relationship with Lorne. Andy said when it didn't perform they weren't surprised at all. He said they expected that. He said no one really knew who they were yet. He said Lorne asked if they wanted to make a movie and you have to say yes. He said it broke their hearts it did that badly but they went right back to Saturday Night Live. He said they did a digital short the next season and it was well received so they wiped the slate clean with that.
Andy said the great thing about Hot Rod is that people are finding it now. He said that's become a movie for high school age kids and it's their thing. Howard said there is no time for a personal life when you're working on a movie.
Howard gave Andy a plug for the new Popstar movie and asked if he's worried about the box office. They're up against the Ninja Turtles. Andy said he's got some theories on some of those guys in the Ninja Turtles and he thinks they're bad guys so go see his movie instead. Howard asked if he locks himself in a room when a movie comes out like this. Andy said they're hoping people know who they are now and that they know what they're doing. He said that Judd Apatow produced it and made it fun.
Howard explained the movie and talked about some of the stuff he saw before the movie cut off. Howard said what he saw was great. He said he parodies something that's great. He said the rap bands and boy bands feel they have to share everything on social media and it's a bore. He said at one point Andy's character films himself jerking off. He said that's great. Howard told Andy some of the things he loved in the half hour of the movie he saw.
Howard said that one of the great jokes in the movie is he has a person in charge of promotion and the plan is to have it rigged so when a refrigerator is open the song plays. Howard said it goes horribly wrong and he causes a massive black out. Howard said that's when he lost the movie. Howard said there are a million funny scenes like that.
Howard asked why Andy did a TV series when he left Saturday Night Live. Howard asked if it was fear. Andy said he did it because of who was making the show. He talked about the guys who created the show, Daniel Goor and Michael Schur. He said that he felt like TV has turned and movies are high risk. He said you have to be excited to do movies to make movies. Howard said that he thought it was odd that he was going to play a cop in the TV show. Andy said they had to figure out how to make it believable. He said they figured it out in a way that worked out great. Howard said he has the TV show and he's making movies so things are going well. Andy said it's good.
Howard said it's rare for a comedian to be happy. Andy said there are some well adjusted guys out there. He said Will Ferrell is like the poster boy for that.
Howard asked Andy if he and the other two guys left at the same time. Andy said Jorma left after the 5th season. He said that Jorma directed MacGruber the movie. He said Akiva did the movie The Watch. Howard said they did a good job with that movie. Howard asked if anyone is there with him today. Andy said Akiva is there. He said he's a big fan of Howard's show. Howard wondered if he has any friends with normal names.
Howard had the guys bring him in. Akiva came in and said that his middle name is Daniel so he has a normal name. Howard asked if it bothers him that he isn't in the movie like Andy is. Akiva said he's fine with it. Howard asked if they are friends with Mark Zuckerberg. Andy said they are a little bit. He said he has his number. Howard asked if they read how much he's worth. Andy said it's like a billion. Howard said it's more like 57 billion. Howard asked how close they are. Andy said they're just acquaintances. Howard said he read that he set up a Facebook just for the two of them. Andy said he did. He said they stopped by to say hi to Mark one day and he wasn't on Facebook so Mark perked up. He said Mark told him he should be on. Andy said he would get on if it was private and he was his only friend. Mark said he would sign him up. He said he signed him in and just made him friends with him. Andy said the next 3 or 4 days he was getting random requests from people. He said he called mark to complain and Mark walked him through the privacy settings. He said he's never really checked it after that. Howard asked if Akiva is jealous. Akiva said he's not.

Gary and Jon explained what happened and how the prank worked. Jon said Bobo eventually turns someone in. He played a quick clip of Sal going off on Bobo for lying.
Jon said that you can say a lot about Bobo but the fact that he ratted him out made them all go ''Whoa!'' in the office. Gary said no one saw that coming. Paul said he didn't want to sell out Shuli. He said he thinks of him as a real weasel but he kind of respects him for that. Gary said the whole idea was that he wasn't going to rat out Shuli because he has a wife and kids but so does Sal. Paul said he condemned an innocent man right there.
Jon said Bobo eventually turned Shuli in. He said Bobo was talking about how he has to go to church and talk to Mother Cabrini. Jon said Bobo insists that he does not lie to Howard. Jon said he lied to Howard about 3 times. Gary said he lied to Howard a week ago about thinking aliens are buried in pipes.
Jay said he thinks he's so consumed with earning respect that he loses touch with reality. He said he just says what he has to say to get him through that moment. Paul said he agrees with that. He said he'll say whatever he has to say just to be accepted.
Gary said if they weren't in on that prank they would have fired Sal. Jon said that would be really unfair to Sal. He said they have so many calls on this.

Jon said he has to give Bobo credit for pointing the finger in the other way. Gary said it wasn't a very planned out thing. Gary said he was going to let Sal just go down. Paul said he thinks he was protecting Shuli because he talks to him and he threw the last guy he was in a fight with under the bus.

Gary said it's a lot of fun for them to do that. He said the anticipation for when he comes back is a lot of fun. Paul said they need someone to document it on some level so they can see Bobo freaking out. He said he wants to see him anguished over it.
Jon said another Sal thing that happened today was when Robin said he was an empty vessel for hatred to be planted in. Gary said that is a perfect description. Gary said Sal posted an anti-Hillary story last week. He said it was from a weird source and it's not a real article. Gary said he and Sal got into it over that. He said it was nice to be able to push Sal into that with Brent in the studio.
Jon said he loves that they talked about the sleeper cell and how Sal said they say ''if you see something, say something'' and he's saying something. Paul said Sal becomes locked in amber and once you tell him something he becomes locked into it.

Jon took a call from a guy who said when he named his daughter he realized how many people he hated. He said you don't know until you try to find a name for your child. Paul said you don't want to name your kid something that will scratch an emotional injury you have. Jay said one of his kids is named the same name of a guy he got into a fight with so he's constantly reminded of that. They spent a little more time talking about names and nicknames.
Jon took a call from a guy who said Sal talked about sending more troops over to fight ISIS and we don't even know who we're fighting so that's stupid.

Jon said today's prank with Bobo dragged Sal into it and he's not sure how Bobo's day is going after that. Gary said he thinks Bobo dodged an enormous bullet and wasn't banned from the show. Paul said he shouldn't take advice from anyone. He said he took it about the soap opera and now this. Jon said he was in such a slump he thought he could get out of it. Jay said he thinks Bobo might still think he could have a Bobo Free Summer. It could change next week for all they know.
