Stern shocked America when he joined a family show. Howard was a judge on the talent reality competition show and enjoyed it much more than he ever thought possible. Stern says this about his experience on the show, “I thought it would be really cool to be a judge, because I think I have something to offer. If I had any dream about this, it’s that I could take someone who was struggling and seriously give advice. I was told over and over again that I had no talent.
I was in college radio. No one was banking on me. I sent a copy of my show to my father, my father wrote me back a five-page letter and was brutally honest. … It wasn’t harsh, I think it was out of love.”
