(Sources: Reuters, AZCentral) Comedian and frequent guest on the Stern Show, Bob Schimmel, has passed away after a recent car accident also involving his daughter. Schimmel, who was 60, along with his 19 year old daughter and 11 year old son were involved in a car accident on August 26th. Schimmel’s daughter was driving on Arizona State Route 101 in Pheonix, AZ, when she was run off the road by an out-of-control driver and they ended up in a concrete drainage ditch on the side of the road. Bob died a couple days later on September 3rd. Aliyah Schimmel, Bob’s daughter and the driver of the vehicle is expected to recover. Schimmel’s 11-year-old son was reportedly uninjured.
Bob was a very funny comedian who put it all out in the open, especially on the Stern Show. He will be greatly missed. In honor of him, here are a few videos of Bob doing what he did best: make people laugh.
Today Howard played a clip of Yoko Ono and what she calls art- her yelling into a microphone like a lunatic. The audio you heard on the show was from the YouTube video below. But even if you’ve heard this already, it’s nothing until you see just how dopey she really is. You must get the full effect of Yoko’s crazy by watching how pretentious and self centered she is to think that everything she does is absolute gold. But before I get to the video, I want to share something that I notice while on the YouTube video page. You can see basic stats of video views and for this particular video there is a line that says “Aug 23, 2010 First embedded on – www.billoreilly.com 884 Views” and if you look at the graph you can see that the video has gotten over 10,000 views since Howard mentioned this and offered a link on his web site yesterday. This alone shows that nobody even pays attention to Bill O’reilly while Howard’s audience has the ability to crash the internet (case in point: Beth’s ass pic).
Today during a bumper Fred played Richard and Sal’s prank call where they call up a pizza parlor and make an order using the auto tune effect that has been popularized by Cher, T-Pain, Kanye West, Lil Wayne and others. I laughed so hard that I had to look it up and listen again! So here it is, Richard and Sal’s Auto Tune Pizza Order:
Early today, Bababooey kept telling Howard that there was a mystery guest calling in later. The only information that Gary would give up is that the mystery caller was somebody that Howard hadn’t talked to in a while and somebody that he was “on the outs with.” Well when the guest was ready to get on air, Howard immediately guessed that it was someone named Jerry. “Jerry – that you?” Howard picked up. And to everyone’s surprise, Jerry Seinfeld’s voice responded on the other end, “Yes it is, Howard.”
After the brief obligatory kiss ass session where Howard had to get Jerry comfortable after not being on the show in such a long time, Howard went on to grill Jerry about everything from what his daily schedule consists of and what he spends his money on. Jerry told Howard that much like most people he goes to his office everyday, usually after hitting the gym, but unlike most people like to spend his money on his nice house and sports car. He also noted that he does not invest in the stock market or buy many frivolous items, because as he put it, “You could easily ruin your fun if you’ve bought too much stuff. Then your like a kid sitting in a pile of toys and you’re bored, and you’re overstimulated.”
Howard also asked about Seinfeld’s family life, recalling the last time Jerry and He had a personal conversation where Jerry asked him about why he would want to get married to Beth. This was of course before Jerry got married and had kids with his at the time girlfriend Jessica. Jerry claimed that this was before he really matured, saying that comedians take longer to mature that others and that when he was 40 he was really only 26.
They went on to have a pretty funny conversation. If you didn’t catch this on the show, make sure you listen on the replay or on Friday for the best of the week show. It’s sure to be a best of the week segment and probably go down in history as the day that Stern and Seinfeld have reunited.
After being off all last week, the Stern Show is back in the studio this morning. The gang talked about things that happened while they were off the air, including the recent egg recall (Robin, of course, touted that she needn’t worry since she is a vegetarian) and JD’s relationship with a stripper (Howard still can’t believe that JD is playing hard to get).
But of course not having to wake up and go to work for a whole week got Howard talking about how much he likes not waking up a 4 am and being able to to as he pleases. After that he was talking about how one week is not enough for a vacation. It’s hard to tell whether he is actually thinking about the vacation and really thinks that he doesn’t have enough vacation time, or if this is simply a clever tactic to get more for his next negotiation with Sirius as his contract ends at the end of the year.
Hopefully this is a good start to a great week. I wonder if anyone will sit in the Artie chair this week?
