TV Buzz Late-night wars come and go, but grudges last forever. Renowned Jay Leno-hater Howard Stern joined David Letterman on tonight's “Late Show” to congratulate Letterman on his 30 years in late-night TV. And since Letterman hates Leno just as much as Stern does, what better way to celebrate than by spending five minutes talking smack about him!
And it still has an impressive 21-minute run time. Also, even with their tag team sequence edited out, Sal and Richard still come off pretty gay.

The King of All Media just can't catch a break with those damn screeners! After much kvetching that the studios never send him advanced copies for review, Stern finally got a copy of J.J. Abrams “Super 8” earlier this summer from Paramount Pictures. And what happens? A version of the film with an “H. Stern” watermark in the top-right corner gets spread across the internet. Accident, or the work of a Stern-hating prankster? (via geekosystem.com)
But he won't be heard on The Howard Stern Show. Fox Sports Radio struck a deal with the King of All Media's former sidekick for a talk show with his comic friend Nick DiPaolo. Lange announced that the show is scheduled to begin September 12, although he is saving the details of his January 2010 suicide attempt for a hopeful appearance on Stern. Fingers crossed, Artie.
