Howard Stern: If Jay Leno Doesnt
Hire Stuttering John Back I Will
Howard Stern has done an about-face in his feud with former underling John Melendez or has he? While interviewing John April 6 on Mr. Media host Bob Andelman asked John who left Howards then-terrestrial radio show in 2003 to become Jay Lenos announcer on The Tonight Show Is Jay taking you with him to 10 p.m.? (Bob whose interview was cited in the
New York Post was of course referring to Jays move to an earlier time slot on NBC this fall.)
I dont know yet. I havent heard yet said John. But I really do hope that I am. The next morning on Howards Sirius Satellite show the King of All Media responded to Bobs interview with John saying: Im going to make an offer to John right now: If Jay doesnt hire him back he can stay in L.A. and ask questions and well hire him to go to some of those premieres and ask questions again. He can do that. Its a dollar for every question.
In February 2008 John said on Adam Carollas since-axed radio show that Howard never paid him fairly and didn’t fight to keep him when he quit. On his own show a few days later Howard called John a no-talent ingrate adding: I didn’t have a beef with him before but I do now. He can go #$%! himself.
