Shuli Egar

Also known as: Shuli, Shalom Shuli, The Wack Pack Wrangler, Egar

Shuli Egar's path into entertainment began on the Las Vegas stand-up circuit, where he spent years grinding through empty casino showrooms and learning his craft the hard way. His love for The Howard Stern Show, which began in middle school, drove him to become a frequent caller -- phoning in weekly for over seven years until he had become a recognized voice among fans and staff alike.

Figures like Tan Mom, High Pitch Erik, and Jeff the Drunk were his beat, and he served as the conduit between their chaotic lives and the show's audience.

Shuli Egar highlights

  • Las Vegas Stand-Up Grind (Late 1990s-2002): Shuli moved from Los Angeles to Las Vegas to pursue stand-up comedy, spending years performing in nearly empty casino showrooms while calling into The Howard Stern Show weekly. Seven years of persistent calling built name recognition that would eventually open the door to his broadcasting career.
  • Howard 100 News and the Wack Pack (2005-2021): Hired as a correspondent for Howard 100 News when the show moved to Sirius, Shuli became the show's designated Wack Pack wrangler -- managing the eccentric cast of recurring callers and characters that defined Stern's universe. He eventually rose to writer, producer, and on-air talent over a fifteen-year tenure.
  • Departure and The Shuli Show (January 2021): After relocating to Huntsville, Alabama during the pandemic, Shuli resigned from the Stern Show when offered only a restricted part-time role. He launched The Shuli Show as an independent podcast, transitioning from Stern Show supporting player to independent content creator with Howard's blessing.
  • The Uncle Rico Show and Shuli Network (2021-Present): Shuli built The Shuli Network, a podcast collective anchored by The Uncle Rico Show with Bob Levy and Mike Morse. The network became a dedicated Dabbleverse commentary platform, with Stuttering John coverage as its primary focus and live, unscripted roast-style shows as its signature format.
  • The Stuttering John Lawsuit (2024-Present): Stuttering John filed a lawsuit against Shuli and Karl Hamburger, alleging secret recordings of private phone calls. The legal battle became a major Dabbleverse storyline, with Shuli treating it as both a professional challenge and a content opportunity that validated the impact of his coverage.
  • Touring Comedian (Ongoing): Throughout his Stern Show years and independent era, Shuli has maintained an active stand-up touring schedule. He performs at clubs across the country, with his act drawing on Stern Show stories, his Israeli-American background, and family life in Alabama. Tours like 'The Killers of Comedy' and 'Ronnie's Block Party' during the Stern years gave way to independent headlining dates.
