Howard Stern
Howard Stern is the self-proclaimed King of All Media, a radio legend who transformed American broadcasting over four decades and inadvertently created the talent pipeline that feeds the Dabbleverse. From his early days at WNBC through his dominance at K-Rock and his landmark move to Sirius satellite radio, Stern built the most influential radio show in history. His Dabbleverse relevance is indirect but foundational -- he is the sun around which many Dabbleverse planets originally orbited before spinning off into their own chaotic trajectories. Stuttering John, Artie Lange, Jackie Martling, Shuli Egar, Gary Dell'Abate, Bob Levy, KC Armstrong, and others all trace their public careers back to the Howard Stern Show.
