From RadioInfo.com:
"Howard Stern is all over the news this week by getting into verbal food fights with other members of the media, including to a large extent his own bosses. The King of All Media (who among his many jobs works for NBC as a judge on TV’s America’s Got Talent) alleged on his Sirius XM radio show last Tuesday that an NBC executive made a "threatening kind of comment" to him after he blasted NBC late-night host Jay Leno as a "spineless maggot" and a “scumbag.” The insults were prompted by Stern’s “theory” that the widespread reports about Leno asking for cuts in his own salary to keep NBC from axing even more staffers than the 20 they cut for budgetary reasons from the Tonight Show are not exactly true. Stern opines, "It's a smokescreen. Here's what it really means, and you can take this to the bank: Jay Leno is a scumbag. That's what that means. He's a spineless maggot. Jay wanted to cut staff. He's embarrassed to do it. He didn't want to come off as a bad guy." Now Stern is boldly proclaiming that he is not afraid of NBC’s threats: "Take my job away from me - who cares?" Stern said. "I will never, ever, ever endorse Jay."
Anyone who blasts Jay Leno is OK in my book.
