"THE HOWARD STERN SHOW": The Offbeat Universe That Revolutionized Radio  
Jan. 24, 2010
Author:  Tim Hornbaker
Category:  Non-fiction: Pop Culture
Description:  The work provides a thorough and expansive history of Howard Stern and the unruly characters featured on his radio and TV programs. It supplements public perception of the famous shock jock and explains how he adapted to an evolving world of entertainment to become a legendary broadcaster.

The book offers the previously undisclosed ancestry of Stern, delineating his family tree back to its European roots. Additionally, the histories of all major characters and personalities on the program are provided, including detailed stories about Fred Norris, Jackie Martling, Artie Lange and Robin Quivers. It also reveals facts regarding the dozens of "Wack Packers," from Jeff the Drunk to High Pitch Eric. This information gives die-hard fans a source that has never been made available to them before.

The book offers a fair look at "The Howard Stern Show" and at how Stern himself reshaped the industry in an era of extreme Government regulation. It provides a provocative examination of Stern's place in the entertainment business and analyzes how the public and press have interpreted his highly controversial moments and assessed his overall stature.

Rights available:  All
Other information:  Tim Hornbaker's previous work, NATIONAL WRESTLING ALLIANCE: The Untold Story of the Monopoly That Strangled Pro Wrestling (ECW Press, 2007), was lauded for setting a new standard for books about the sport.
