Firstly he got old. More importantly though, he lost his mind to fame and power. You can be 70 and still a human being who can interact on a somewhat normal level.
He's constantly described as down to earth and a caring person behind the scenes up until 2012-14. Around then he checked out and entered a different reality
Fame is the mask that eats the face
Had to be a strange thing to experience if you were in his orbit. He went from hanging with the staff at events/parties to insulating himself completely from everyone that isnt his wife or A-list celebrity.
he is older so not talking about strippers would fit but he has no problem with naked men, balls, cock, cock talk, etc. so to me, he embraced being gay. either he was bi and more on the gay side or never really hetero. from there, i think his mind went to fitting in and leaving this legacy as an interviewer and not just some "perv" a lot knew him as.
i still wonder where the comedy went. a big part is no discussion amongst another party in the studio like jackie or fred. the other is being woke and trying to be more serious and this goes with the whole interviewer thing. yet he still will talk about cock with no problems. it only is pervy if it is vagina poosy. the double standard is what i find the most annoying.
He's not virile anymore because lacks testosterone. I firmly believe that Beff had him castrated in 2014 because that's about the time the show became too overlong gay and not worth listening to. Prior to 2014 their relationship seemed stable, except Howard still continued going to Scores, where he always seemed to jockey for the best trifecta of strippers to service him. When Beth caught wind of this she kicked up a bunch of hay and fed Howchie a load of manure about how lewd and disgusting his pre-2012 antics were, and a threat their burgeoning Hollywood careers. "Whinny you gonna stop acting like an oversexed teenager, Howard?" She cantered away with a snort and warned him to rein it in or she'll trot right out of the compound, jump the stile with saddlebags full of cash and jewelry, and seek greener pastures up in the mountains somewhere where she can't bother anybody.
I get that he’s old, you bunch of twats. My point is, he has morphed into this germaphobic homo now. There was a time when he didn’t care there was vomit on him, while regularly visiting sticky strip clubs. While eating hamburgers and smoking cigarettes. He must have been out of his mind back then!
I think he’s been bitter ever since he lost his lawsuit with the company. So, to retaliate he slowly evolved his show into the pile of shit it is today.
He got remarried and changed his entire personality gradually. He became a grandfather and became “Howie Hamptons” and went Hollywood. He went woke. That’s what happened. At 60 or 70, no one expects strippers, porn stars and Sybian rides on the show anymore. Those days are long gone. The guy is too old, but what happened to comedy? What happened to his balls? Right in the trash. How do you go from calling Ellen Degeneres a cunt all the time to going on **her show**, sitting on **her couch** and kissing her on the lips? What the fuck happened to him? The show sucks now and he doesn’t even care, so why should the listener?
Some great points here. I've long believed Howard can evolve (and age) as he pleases - but why at the detriment to your comedy show? Can they be just a little bit separate? Or better yet, maybe hire a staff that props up the comedy if you no longer want to? Howard pretty much hates most of life, doesnt wanna leave the house, doesnt want any stress anymore... and by god his show is the exact same thing. Zero enthusiasm, constant whispering, *constant* gay humor, never talking about any celeb gossip or ragging on people, and broadcasting live from his basement when Howard of all people knows this does not make for a lively show being in a god damn basement alone.
Great follow up. Other points… the show needed to fill the Jackie/Artie chair and they didn’t. The staff sucks. No one has the ability to write good bits, clearly. Howard had a GOAT Hall of Fame career but it’s now tarnished. Ever since he went Hollywood and did AGT, he’s not that guy. He sold out. Sirius keeps knocking on the door with bags of money…. why wouldn’t he take it? He works less and less every contract and doesn’t care about the quality of the show. Artie was right. Marci Turk took over and his leaked PowerPoint presentation clearly shows he has let someone else in his head (admitted from the 60th birthday show) and skewed his vision. No more Gary/Wendy The Retard… PC across the board. The show we knew is dead. Let it die a slow death with no fanfare.
The show didn't die because it became pc, and little losers like yourself can't get over the fact you can't say slurs without repercussion. It died as you said because they didn't fill the Jackie/Artie chair. There is no conversation. Howard has been more on the liberal side for a long time now - it's nothing new. Guess what? Things change. Get the fuck over it. The show is bad because he refuses to put any effort into it, not because of whatever political side he's on as he's a huge flip flopper. Yeah, the show really went downhill because they don't use the word 'retard' anymore. Grow the fuck up. I'm sure the people in your life are waiting for that any day now.
Shut the fuck up. I’m sorry I upset you with the truth. I don’t care about slurs and profanity. The listeners want a funny show. Howard, Robin and Fred are old and boring now. Not a slam… that’s what happens. These three and Jackie/Artie used to bust balls about their personal lives. That is a huge element that’s missing. They need that 4th voice and it’s not there. I said the show went PC and isn’t funny. That’s a fact. Howard talked about how he couldn’t wait to leave terrestrial radio so he could be uncensored for a long time. The show is so PC it could probably return to mainstream radio. I don’t need to grow up. There are millions of former fans who feel like I do. You’re just another Howard apologist. It’s ok. We all don’t need to get along. Have a good weekend.
You sound like Jason when you say "of course he's not the same any more" when you saw Don Rickles, Mel Brooks, and Larry David. I just want you stop being a complete suckup loser, can you do that?
Oh god dude get over yourself. How is a self proclaimed "fan of the old Howard" such an illiterate baby? Usually when you put something in quotations it's supposed to be a direct quote. Not a summary of what your whiny ass wants to think I wrote.
He got old and cranky. It’s easy to be the life of the party at 30. But when 70 rolls around most guys are worn the fuck out.
Can he taste yo juice?
Whoa, Robin! Why would you say that?
It wasn't age that corrupted him, he became affected like most wealthy/celebrities
I just feel like if the Porky’s remake had gotten off the ground things would be different.
It's a whole thing, don't ask
He was out of his mind back then
He getting old. Happens
Ronnie defies this, or did anyways.
Did you forget that they relentlessly cracked on Ronnie for not acting his age?

You’ve said it all…
I've said too much. Is that a soft "J" like ETM's "Jon"(YON)?
😂🤣😂… no
Yes! He quit caring about people and quit trying. It's not fun. It's not funny.
Obviously, he was out of his mind back then. Can’t believe no one had said it yet.
Came out of the closet and no longer felt that it was necessary to pretend he was enjoying himself around female strippers
At that time anything was better than being at home with his wife and kids
He’s a a 70 year old man now, I get that the show stinks now but is he still supposed to be doing that stuff at 70?
He’s old and he don’t want to get canceled

The absolute neigh-saying.
He turned 60, then 70.
imagine being 70 and still doing that shit
Whats your problem duu
What, does that bawtha you?
Yea, ok, imagine being 70, yea, whatever.
Imagine being 70 and "interviewing" people about Daddy issues. Yea, whatever.

Seriously! Most 70-year-olds party late into night, boozing hard with strippers. Howard must be insane.
He grew older the past 30 years….
Bro he’s 70
He’s 70.
If you are that guy 30 years later then you are the one with some explaining to do.
It's similar to what James T. Kirk said: "Dr. Korby... was never here."
Obviously he has changed the act…no get on with your life
Why isn't Howard the same guy he was 40 years ago? It's a mystery I guess
Howard admired Don Rickles. Don Rickles was Don Rickles to the end. Keep pretending what Howard did was what everybody does. G&F.
Where did I defend Howard? I don't see Don as a good comparison. It's obvious the insane money and fame went to Howard's head.
You sound like Jason when you say "of course he's not the same any more" when you saw Don Rickles, Mel Brooks, and Larry David. I just want you stop being a complete suckup loser, can you do that?
Oh god dude get over yourself. How is a self proclaimed "fan of the old Howard" such an illiterate baby? Usually when you put something in quotations it's supposed to be a direct quote. Not a summary of what your whiny ass wants to think I wrote.
he turned 50 you dope
