This show was your guilty pleasure. It got a bad rap. Still has a bad rap but the real people listen or watch this show. It's extravagant , crazy and it pushed the boundaries and went passed the boundaries many a time but with all of it's wildness there's beautiful moments, hilarious moments and heartbreaking moments interwoven into the show. Yes it began vulgar who cares. People like vulgar they are vulgar the reason people are interested is because Howard Stern says what the ordinary people feel and gets the overpayed celebrities to be more raw and honest than any other talk show host on TV. It's what this generation needs to an extent. It's what they want.
