Love him or hate him, Howard Stern single-handedly revolutionized the talk radio format in the U.S. Before hitting it big in the '80s and '90s, talk radio was strictly limited to newscasts, but Stern took it a whole step further -- incorporating comedy (often sexually charged), sketches, song parodies, celebrity interviews, and witty observations into his weekday four-hour shows. Born on January 12, 1954, Stern grew up in Long Island, NY, and attended Boston University in the early '70s, where he got his start in radio. After graduating, Stern took several jobs at radio stations across the U.S. during the decade (including Hartford, Detroit, and Washington D.C.). While he was forced to play songs during his shows throughout the early years, he also found time to hone his talents as he focused on his ultimate goal -- a show that focused entirely on talk. It was during this time that Stern met future writer Fred Norris and partner-in-crime/newswoman Robin Quivers.
