I'm confused. To me, nothing says "family television" quite like Howard Stern. Isn't he called "The Shock Jock"? I don't really understand why everyone wouldn't want to gather little Bobby and Susie in front of the TV to see, and more importantly, hear Howard Stern. Frankly, I'm shocked he wasn't on there before. Seems like a natural fit to me. I've always thought his work was right up there with Mister Rogers and The Wiggles.Plus, and here's the bonus so many parents are overlooking, no more need to have that uncomfortable sex talk with Junior. Good old Uncle Howard will provide all the information any impressionable youth could ever need. Now that is good news. No more saying, "Go ask your father" - you can just say, "Let's see what Howard has to say about that tonight on AI." Plus, chances are good he will have a little show and tell which always adds so much to a lesson.
With this casting brilliance, I think it is only a matter of time before other shows catch on.
The cast of Jersey Shore on Sesame Street?
John Edwards on Family Guy?
I also think a spin off of Gossip Girl titled Gossip Guy and staring John Mayer would be a smash hit.
But really, the best casting ever has to be on Jerry Seinfeld's new show, The Marriage Ref. Tiger said he was ready for a comeback. This one is tailor made for him.

Oi is all I can say about that. But love your satire!!
Now thats some funny TV....I'd watch all but Mayer..just cant take him at all....I kinda like Howard, but I just dont see the idol connection..I heard that Ellen said if he joins..shes outta there...so in return Howard ran a few not so flattering reviews about how it is to work for Ellen...I dont know but I think it may be the end of the road for Idol..
*LOL* Howard Stern eh? Wow.
Oh that is very funny! I don't think those kids would be ready for even more truth out of a judge!
I am a new Friday Follower, hope to see you too!
Stopping to say hi from FF!
Have a great weekend :)
Howard Stern as a judge makes me scared for the contestants...he is a bit harsh at times!
too funny! new follower from friday follow and already loving your blog! thanks for following me, too :-)
OMG Tiger on the Marriage Ref would definitely draw some ratings! Thanks for stopping by from Friday Follow!
You know prime time is getting more raw. I say Howard is perfect!
And Tiger? Brilliant!! You should definitely be in casting.
:-)
lol Well, shoot! I was hoping Stern was going to start hosting the Sunny Side Up show on Sprout...
Good ol' Howard Stern.. with a face for radio. And we thought Simon was acerbic! LOL
Sometimes I'm just so thankful not to have a tv.
:)

How about Chris Brown on America's Next Top Model?
I don't currently watch AI, but if Howard Stern were on, I would watch at least once. That would be it though. But it is one more time than I have watched yet.
I do watch AI ,and if Howard Stern were on it, I would have a really hard time watching. That man is a cockroach for sure!
The Marriage Ref...WAHAHA!!!
Howard Stern on Idol? That may be a deal breaker for me. He is such a creep. Love the rest of your list. Cracked me up.
Howard Stern would be the end of my watching Idol, too. Creep is too kind a word.
Why not put all those people together for one big ultimate reality show? Call it something like "Sleeze and tease" - all the celebrities that you wish would go away but keep coming back to haunt you!
If things don't go well for him on American Idol I'd like to see Howard as the new guy in The Wiggles.
This was a great post. It made me laugh. I wonder how many of these would be true??
Have a great weekend.
hahaha. Let's hope that doesn't happen! That would take the show for a turn alright!
You've got it all figured out! Why didn't they think of that?
Seriously - what are they thinking? I think it's the death of American Idol!
Hi saw you on SITS! Yea, that would be quite an interesting combo of judges on American Idol wouldn't it? Love your humor.
lol..that would be something funny to watch!Following from Friday Follow:) TGIF!!
Ah! This is funny! I keep thinking AI is on the way out...
Howl! You make me laugh so hard my kids think I've finally flipped!
ROFL!!!
You know, it is all about the ratings and if Stern is on the show the ratings will skyrocket. Kinda sad, our society.
Cannot stand that man. I'd watch all the shows you thought up thought ;-)
Gag me with a snow shovel!! Howard WTF Stern???? I know you are joking, and I do like the way you wrote this.
John Mayer probably learned his speech from Mr. Stern, they are two of a kind and little Johnny probably grew up on the Stern mouth. So there is your example.
I just don't see how people can take the show seriously now as a talent show. I mean, Simon was mean but he knew what he was doing. With Ellen and now Howard on there they're clearly doing it for shock and laughs-not for talent.
Sure does boggle the mind, doesn't it? And my mind is already boggled enough that I don't need any new crapola floating around in there along these lines.
LOL! I love these posts by you. Tiger Woods as the Marriage Ref...yeah, I'd tune in for that one!
So funny - and true! Love it!!!
Hasn't American Idol learned that a judge should be somebody who is....you know....a little musically inclined????
Love your blog! Happy "Friday Follow"!! I'm your newest follower! Love for you to come visit me!
Have a great weekend :)
~Shelley @ Shelley's Swag
Howard Stern on American idol!?! How awful!??!!! Yuck!
You have a great weekend
Hugs
SueAnn
Great satire! Although I must say to having enjoyed the Wiggles due to sheer number of hours I was forced to watch this with the Anklebiters!
LOL! You always crack me up! Thanks for the laughs!
It's so horrid it's funny!
Jenni
I'd be tempted to boycott Idol if Stern made it on, but I think I'd just fast forward through him and listen to the singing.
Wait, I do that anyway.
I am laughing so hard....love this post! Howard Stern would def steer me away from AI!
Stopping by from SITS I'm now following you.
Have a great weekend

Best post ever!! Thanks for visiting my blog. Happy Friday Follow back at ya!
LOL. Let's face it, Howard Stern DOES NOT have a face or personality made for TV. YUCK!
Mister Rogers is probably turning over in his grave!
John Edwards Family Guy is my favorite! LOL!
I wanted to think of one...ok...hmmm...I know let's replace Jo on supernanny with Jon Gossellin...heehee.
And on the AI thingy...Let 'em put Howard on...it'll just add to the weight on the sinking ship.
Exactly Debbie! I'm already ahead of the game. Instead of plopping my one year old in front of Baby Einstein I turn on the old Sirius radio to HOward Stern. I figure the vocabulary is much more colorful and the topics are so helpful in raising today's youth. I love your blog! Im so flattered you stopped by mine.

lol great post debby, and I agree with you re Howard Stern :)
That last pic of Tiger just slays me!
Personally, I hate Howard Stern, but I would probably watch American Idol just to see him as a judge.
But I think Tiger Woods might be more suited for The Bachelor.
I always thought so too. Of course, he's the perfect fit, he can ogle all the pretty girls and ask them to take off their clothes before he decides whether they should go on to Hollywood or not.
ha!...ha!..ha!.....love your post! and Tiger's photo!
xoxo
Nothing says wholesome family entertainment like Howie. (Yeah, I'm on a shortened first-name basis with him, jealous?)
Lol! You got it just right, just think how great those shows would be!!
Seriously though if Howard Stern replaces Simon I think my idol days are going to be over.
John Edwards would be a shoe-in!!! He's already got two families at once :D
LOL Thanks for the giggle. I have to admit I will be one of the Moms who tunes out if they put Howard in one of those Judges seats. That guy should not be judging anyone!
I WOULD LOVE TO WATCH GOSSIP GUY!!!! srsly!
Howard Stern is not very well-known in Sweden, I guess. I think that may be alright.
Hilarious!
Love the Tiger pic. Thanks so much for the follow. Following you back. -Pippi
Big love for John Mayer ... mmmm ... just saying.
oh yeah he is a regular role model for everyone to watch huh? I dont even want to watch him let along let the kids watch him!
I love it! You would be a smash in Hollywood!
Ha! You cheeky wench :)))
Tiger Tiger Tiger ... his lil speech today sounded so canned. Rich people and their problems ... heheeee
Howard Stern can have his moments, but broadcast TV is not the place for him. No way!
bleep bleep bleep bleepbleep bleeeeeeeeep ;-)
Hi Debbie! Thanks for stopping by. Returning the favor with a Friday Follow! :)
I see the addition of Howard Stern to AI as absolutely appropriate. I think both of them - the man and the show - are vile. (But as a voice teacher, I have a legitimate grievance against AI...)
Hee - pretty humorous - but that would be the end of American Idol for me . . . and I LOVE that show:) I'm holding my breath . . .
Kristin
LOL!!
I Love the way your mind works!
I've always been an AI fan, but I'm thinkin' it's on it's way out. I don't think Ellen is gettin' it done. So we may not even need to bother "Uncle Howard" with this new gig.
Ha! You're both funny and brilliant!
Too funny. It really is an outrageous idea for Howard to be on it. I heard that Simon said that it would be a really big long shot. I want to see Tiger on Dr. Phil's show. Wouldn't that be an interview with Dr. Phil hammering away at him?
howard stern would be as drunk as paula abduhl. so. i guess it all evens out since she's gone.
I have this searing image of Stern as fartman {said in a whisper} at the MTV music awards. Yuck, please NO.
I am now your latest follower via FF.
Hi Debbie! What a fun blog you have! Thanks for dropping me a line!
OMG. I can't even imagine.
What a tv line up.
Cancel my cable
This was hysterical.
Hubs and I were talking about Howard and AI at dinner. He thinks it is a contract negotiation ploy for Howard. AI would probably gain a new demographic of viewers if he went on there. But surely they would lose a bunch too.
You are so funny. I am enjoying Ellen on AI although I don't know about Howard Stern. Tiger Woods may be the easiest man to make fun of right now (well deserved) along with Jon G.
I wonder how old Howard Stern would look if he had a "regular" haircut for a dude his age :)
lol....if howard stern is on AI i'm canceling cable for good. actually, i don't watch that show anyway, so come to think of it....he'd be perfect for it :)
This was so much fun to read this morning.
I will laugh all day thinking about it.
Howard Stern is a scary, twisted dude.
LOL!!
Without Simon and Paula, there is no show. Everyone will be watching Simon's new show and that will be the end of it.
That was great and so true
i love visiting your blog! this is so funny but let's hope none of it happens! Howard on a family tv show? Ugh!
Oh come on... Howie oozes wholesome!
I actually love Howard Stern, and he might actually know what he's talking about, the man is actually very smart....BUT I just don't think I could take him seriously as an idol judge seeing as how I've seen him humminhg to a woman over the radio..... infamous scene in Private Parts.......nuff said.
Howard Stern is a PIG! What is this world coming to??
Mind = Blown. Tiger's going to be GREAT on that show! ;)
Tiger on the Marriage Ref... I love it! I'm actually looking forward to that show!
I can't imagine Howard Stern knowing anything about talent.. :0
Hahaha! That would be the worst casting EVER. Although I miss Paula too!
Heh...I hadn't heard that rumor!
I don't really care of Howard Stern, but if he replaces Simon, I would watch just to see how it goes.
As for Tiger and Mayer - I don't care about anything they have to say.
I'm sayin'!!! What's this world comin' to??? Funny, funny post girl.
God bless and enjoy your Saturday!!!
You're hilarious.Can you imagine Howard talking to the contestants?
Mayer is quite the little gossip monger isn't he. I think he's secretly a chick. Ah ha ha
I am here from Friday Follow and apparently on the best blog day ever because I LOVE THIS POST. You hit a home run with this one.
Laura Ann
PS if Howard Stern becomes a judge on American Idol then I will stop watching the show.
You nailed it.
I do not like Howard Stern..he just is gross!!
Hi There! I am participating in my first Friday Follow. I have a brand new blog-I hope you can visit! I now follow and subscribe! Thanks!

That's hilarious!!
I'm a new follower from Friday Follow, and I'm already loving your blog! Thanks for stopping by my blog! :)
This is hilarious. I've always always not like Howard and I hate the idea of him on American Idol.
Too funny!!
Thanks for visiting my blog. I'm your newest follower & will be enjoying your blog!
My husband is a huge Howard Stern fan ... and tries to convince me all the time that he has an undeserved reputation. He would probably make it more interesting though.
And I love your TV show mix-ups ... just wait until they really happen!
lyHa! Too funny! Thanks for stopping by my blog from Friday Follow! Thanks for the laugh!
Simon's leaving? I'm just getting into the show! You're fabulous - brilliant post. How about Glen Beck on Queer Eye for the Straight Guy?
This is the first I've heard of that but it makes perfect sense to hype American Idol with Howard (yuck) Stern. It would almost be worth watching to see him and Ellen side by side. That would not be pretty.
The Marriage Ref promos look good. Tiger Woods would be a hoot!
Hope all's well with you Debbie.
xo
LOL SOOO FUNNY!!!
Thanks for the birthday wishes! Can't wait for some time to update the blog about my best birthday ever! Wahooooo!
Oh the scathingness! Word(?) Roger that with a big ten-four, dahling.
You really do have the most brilliant ideas! I don't know why the networks haven't hired you to do their programming!
HAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!! If Howard Stern becomes a judge, I'll be the first one in front of my TV!!!!!!!!
I think I would stop watching AI if Stern appeared. I am loving Ellen though.
You are so funny!!!
I hate to say this...but i almost wonder if mr hs is a little old school for what goes on these days. ug!
I am hoping this Howard Stern thing is a PR stunt or bad joke...really?!
Simon is obnoxious in a lovable way, Stern is just distasteful. I'd tune out, but I'd watch some of the shows you pitched!
I just read today (because I'm a week late stopping by here), that Howard Stern absolutely WILL NOT be replacing Simon.
Guess we'll have to that sex talk with the kids ourselves, darnit.
