He's good but Gottfried and Takei are far ahead in my book.

Sounds about right. But I think the term "guest" should be broken down better.

Let's say BS is a great caller for a short time, while GG and GT are great for a longer duration while actually in the studio.

I don't think BS would be that interesting in studio.

I'm not sure what I like more, Howard having Ben Stern on the air or Howard doing Ben Stern on the air.

One of my favorite things is when Howard tells stupid old stories--much like he did this week when he told the story of banging that girl from a different high school and making her some lamp fruity alcohol drink and then scrubbing out the blender so his parents wouldn't know--which then leads to him doing both Rae and Ben Stern voices.

I wonder sometimes if its Howard that makes him so interesting or would I find him as intriguing if I just randomly met this old guy? I think he would still be fun to talk to.

It's interesting how Howard is a mixture of not only their DNA but their personalities as well.

I enjoy his calls, although I think that more than a few minutes at a time would be too much.

Hey Now

When Howard's parents are on, or when Howard just talks about them is some of the best radio Howard has ever done. IMO
