Short description

The life and career of shock-jock superstar Howard Stern is recounted from his humble beginnings to his view from the top. Possessing a desire to be an on-air personality since childhood, Stern meanders through the radio world, always with his supportive wife, Alison, by his side. Landing a gig in Washington, D.C., Stern meets Robin Quivers, who will become his long-time partner in crime. When the two move to New York, they face the wrath of NBC executives.

What's left behind the scenes

All scenes featuring Gary Dell'Abate were improvised.
Howard Stern's final monologue was allowed to be improvised and was filmed in one take.
Due to the controversial reputation of the lead actor and one of the screenwriters, Howard Stern, Mary McCormack initially declined the role. She only went to the audition because she wanted to meet director Betty Thomas. Upon learning that McCormack did not plan to work with her, Thomas advised the actress to listen to Stern's radio shows and meet him in person. McCormack liked the radio shows so much that she agreed to film.
According to Howard Stern, he did not learn his lines, being firmly convinced that he would come up with something on the fly, as he always did on the radio. However, producer Ivan Reitman took him aside and strongly recommended that he learn the lines.
Before filming began, the script was rewritten more than 25 times.
