Howard Stern Again Accuses Jay Leno of Stealing Jokes

Howard Stern Accuses Jay Leno of Stealing Jokes

Shock jock Howard Stern has some less-than-flattering things to say about somebody, and this time, it's not a guest on his show.

The radio host is accusing late-night legend Jay Leno of ripping off his material. Stern appeared on Piers Morgan's CNN show and told the host, "Jay is insane. And Jay is a crook. And the world knows exactly what he's up to. He steals a tremendous amount of material," the New York Post reports.

This isn't the first time Stern has gone after Leno in the press. Not one to mince words, Stern said of Leno on the Early Show, "Just the mere mention of Jay Leno's name makes me to want to vomit," calling the 'Tonight Show' host, "a f****** con man, rip-off artist, no idea mother*******."

So tell us, Howard, how do you really feel?

The more recent accusations against Leno are nothing new. In 2009, Stern accused Leno of stealing one of his sketch ideas outright. In the bit in question, both hosts invite a chicken to predict football wins for the following week. "This must be a giant 'Punk'd' on me," said Stern following the incident. "This guy's ripped off like ten major things from my show. But the chicken thing we did for years."

If there's one thing we know about Stern, his grudge against Leno isn't going to end anytime soon, and his grievance has extended to the public at large. "I don't know how he's beaten David Letterman in the ratings," he said. "It's beyond my comprehension. America must be filled with morons who at night lay in bed -- the ones who are watching him, they must be in a coma."

Howard is for me revolting. Can't stand the man. He might be rich but he is worthless. I prefer Leno over Letterman but I only watch a couple times a month.

By roy

Howard hasbeen! I don't know anyone who cares what he says.

Stern moving to Sirrus was one of the finest examples of self-censorship and self-implosion I've ever seen. Very few use Sirrus and fewer listen to him. Outta sight, outta mind.

So that is why 20 Million people have signed up with sirius since he signed....Really No one listens? I think more like no one admits listening. And if you did listen you would actually know that the show is not about being filthy it is about being REAL, about not letting what everyone else thinks dictate your actions. I suggest each one of you Stern Bashers out there actually listen to the show and not the bull crap people say about it...make your own opinion first.

Howard Stern is lowest of the low. He has a following of slobs and other questionable people. What would this slob have the Leno would steal I know nothing. Sirus radio should cancel him, nothing but a filthy pig with a following of low life trash

By DroopyKT

Howard Stern is a longtime forgotten foul-mouthed dirt bag whom was righteously rejected and ousted by the REAL and SIGNIFICANT media and whom was forced to make an alternate choice of moving both his ugly mug,his warped antics and degrading filthy sense of humor to satellite media for those people whom share his same sick and degenerate sense of so-called ' entertainment '. Howard Stern is a has-been , a fossil of the past whom can only get REAL media attention by striking back at those other RESPECTED entertainers with MAGNANIMOUS careers and success who continue to dominate the most powerful and BEST air-waves with their audiences. Howard Stern, true, but sad to say, is a just a low life PERSON, much less any kind of serious entertainer, just a lucky ' SLUG ' whose slimy existence happened to have found national fame and success and the financial backing of closet-hidden rich magnates whom both used and exploited Stern's both controversial UGLY LOOKS, demeaning sexist views and insipidly filthy humor to attract and expand larger audiences of the same immoral enturpitude to make him an icon as he once thought he'd forever be. Instead, Howard Stern is nothing but the leftover time-worn cobwebs of failure, disgrace and shameful rejection by the bulk of his own AMERICAN people, and in truth, is still only surviving on the immoral debauchery and twisted minds of those whom think just like him, namely those whom continue to dance to the tune of this sicko Pied Piper.

Howard is 1000% correct. Jay Leno has ripped off multiple ideas from Stern and his staff because Jay can't seem people that have original ideas. However, Howard needs to get over his hatred for Jay. It's getting a little old hearing him whine about Leno. Love you Howard! Thanks for re-signing for another 5 years. The greatest entertainer EVER!

STERN IS LOOKING FOR RATINGS FOR HIS UGLY FACE!
JAY BEATS LETTERMAN BECAUSE DAVID LETTERMAN IS A MEAN OLD MAN WHO PICKS ON LITTLE GIRLS LIKE PALIN'S YOUNG DAUGHTER.
IF I WAS PALIN'S FATHER, I WOULD HAVE CALLED OUT THE DEGENERATE OLD FOOL.
STERN IS TRUE COWARD THAT HIDES BY CALLING PEOPLE MUTHERFRRRS.
HE IS TRULY JEALOUS OF LENO!
I DON'T WATCH ANY OF THEM SO I AM JUST TELLING THE TRUTH.

LETTERMAN SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN A SLAP IN THE MOUTH FROM AROD FOR TALKING ABOUT HIM AND THAT YOUNG PALIN LADY.

By pilobytr

Yes- Letterman needed to retire 5 years ago.

Howard is tired and old like Letterman. 4 hours a day, 4 days a week, and half the show is rants about Sarah Palin. You were funny Howard, when you didn't do politics!

By Ralph Zuccaro

Hoard is a VERY demented , sorry, degenerate , trying to get a little attention on one of Decadent accusations !!! He is a very SAD piece of CRAP- Glad he is hiding out on cable...He is an insult to any radio personality and his RACE!!!

By babs

Howard is funny and smart. At times it gets raw, if I don't like what is being featured I switch, I think he is a good interviewer he is not what is portrayed on the radio.

By Micky

Time this worn out 'wanna be hippie' wrapped it up. He's simply NOT FUNNY or even entertaining anymore. The guy appears to have lost whatever he had in the first place and he should begin to realize he's now considered an old 'has-been' and the rest of us have moved on. It's kind of pathetic to listen to his desperate attempts to be 'relevant'.

By ajschrod

Other than telling too many off-color jokes, I have no problem with Jay, but Howard is one of 10 people the world would be better off without--he is that disgusting!

By Jerry

Howard is just in need of attention,it must be that time of the month for him/her.

By Willa

I wrote Howard Stern a letter years ago when he was on CH 9 with his show. He used a sentence " I beleive this planet belongs to everyone" out of the letter I wrote him and acted like it was his own. KARMA...he has done this to other people himself!
