• The Best Of Stern. 12/22/98.
  Best of Stern once again. Many thanks to everyone who contributed to today's updates!
  • All in the Pat Cooper Family
  • Crackhead Bob History
  • Monica Lewinsky hair commercial parody
  • Howard calls chick who played lesbian on Beverly Hills 90210 (one of Howard's favorite shows), from sometime in 1994, I think. The chick can't make up her mind whether or not she wants to be a lesbian in real life (although she says she digs Howard). Of course, Howard has to walk her through, step by step, her first lesbian experience.
  • Some black guy calls in to complain about a KKK bit Howard ran. Then some black chick calls in to defend Howard, and the black guy and her get into it, so Howard just sits back and lets them fight with each other.
  • Stuttering John attempts to interview Eric Begosian (that a-hole from the movieTalk Radio), but Eric puts Stuttering John in a headlock and smashes his tape recorder. They segue into a discussion making fun of John's supposed music career and then into Joe Walsh's idiosyncracies.
  • The remainder of the show (the last 2 hours) was devoted to Howard's first and most infamous life-saving incident, where he talks some dude into not jumping off a bridge in New York. After the actual call during which Howard coaxes the guy down, and then with the fat woman who actually grabbed the guy on the bridge, and then with various cops at the scene, Howard interviews actress Sally Kellerman in the studio (the older hot chick from the movie Back to School) during the bridge incident aftermath. Then, Senator Al D'Amato calls in to congratulate Howard for saving the guy's life and to award him some citation for his efforts. The fat woman who grabbed the guy on the bridge comes into the studio, and then Howard coaches her on how she should act during the upcoming news conference. Basically, Howard urged her to say as little as possible, but to make sure she gave all the credit to Howard and took none for herself, and also to say the word "hero" anytime she said the word "Howard" in a sentence. After that, they conducted a press conference regarding the incident.
