I noticed that he seems to have less of the top celebs coming on his E! show. I would guess if being on his show would help their careers, they would be on his show. So for some reason, they must feel it won't help their careers to be on his show.
I have heard that Howard is somewhat of a hermit, and I think it may be because he hates the low-lifes who are his fans. So he doesn't like going out in public where he will be confronted by them in person. That reminds him of who it is that listens to his show.
He used to live a fairly normal life off the air with his wife and kids. It is my understanding that she left him, not the other way around.

Lighten up. Howard works on many levels. Yes, scumbags think he's cool and worth emulating. And his show can really suck when he's off. But for the few minutes I may hear him per week, he's a pretty good diversion from the doldrums of the commute. Like him or hate him, he grabs you're ear when he's rolling.
Stern knows he's pleasing multiple divergent audiences. In a sense, he realizes a large part of his listeners are laughing at him, not with him, but he doesn't care. Either way, he gets paid, and we get some chuckles.
