Negligeé and Underpants Party

Howard Stern's Negligeé and Underpants Party was Stern's first pay-per-view special and home video, released on March 7, 1988 by Weirdo, Inc. and Infinity Broadcasting Corporation. The show aired live in mostly East Coast areas at 10 p.m. on February 27, 1988 with a studio audience and cost $19.95.[1] It features Stern, his radio show staff, and the audience wearing underwear or lingerie. Various celebrities and performers appeared on the program, including Richard Belzer, Jessica Hahn, Downtown Julie Brown, Judy Tenuta, Emo Philips, Geraldo Rivera, Dweezil Zappa, Moon Zappa and Mitch Fatel. Two days after the event, a mixed review from Chuck Darrow of the Courier-Post summarised the event as "rather entertaining" but was "mostly obscured by the bad taste, cruelty and borderline pornography that made up the bulk" of the program.[2] John Goudas for The Town Talk wrote Stern had "single-handedly set back cable pay-per-view a millennium or two" and described the special as "bone-achingly dull and stupefyingly simple-minded."[3] Shortly after the event aired, Kay Gardella criticised it in the New York Daily News in a review based on other people's opinions and not from watching it herself. Stern attacked Gardella on the air, which resulted in Gardella reviewing the special after watching the cassette. In her review, Gardella thought it was "mostly just pathetic" and that in the course of the show, Stern "doesn't do one imaginative, talented or intelligent thing."[4] The special was released on VHS through mail order for $24.95 with a catalogue number of 1001 and a run time of 113 minutes.

U.S. Open Sores

Howard Stern's U.S. Open Sores was a live event that occurred at Nassau Coliseum, Uniondale, New York on October 7, 1989 to a sell-out crowd of 14,000 people, and subsequently released on VHS. The main feature was a tennis match between Stern and his radio show producer Gary Dell'Abate, following an on-air argument. Other segments included stand-up comedy, guest appearances, and musical performances. The original idea was to feature topless ball girls during the match, and Stern held auditions on his radio show for participants, but Nassau County authorities subsequently informed Stern that topless entertainment was illegal.[5] The VHS was released in December 1989 and sold via mail order for a limited period. One day after the telephone line to order tapes closed, copies were found for sale in local The Wiz outlets.[6] The tape included behind the scenes footage with participants and guests.

The Miss Howard Stern New Year's Eve Pageant

The Miss Howard Stern New Year's Eve Pageant was Stern's second pay-per-view event that aired live on December 31, 1993 from Newark Symphony Hall in Newark, New Jersey. Development for the show began in May 1993 when Main Events Television sought potential talent to stage a pay-per-view production that would generate enough subscriptions on-par with boxing matches, then the most popular pay-per-view events at the time. In August, Stern began to discuss the idea on the air and a deal with the company was signed in the following month.[7] It was originally to be held at the Atlantic City Convention Center. The event cost viewers $40 and Stern earned a reported $1 million advance when it was green-lit.[8] It cost $2 million to produce and market the event.[9] The focus of the event was a satirical beauty pageant to crown a Miss Howard Stern that featured several celebrity judges, including Janis Ian, Daniel Carver, John Bobbitt, Sherman Hemsley, Mark Hamill, Tiny Tim and Joe Frazier. Over 40 women and one man competed in the pageant, most of whom had won preliminary contests held in cities where Stern's radio show was being syndicated to at the time, for a $50,000 prize.[7][10] The 20 finalists competed in lingerie and talent rounds, after which five were chosen for the final interview round. Elaine Marks won the contest, who claimed she had appeared in Playboy magazine as a result. Other notable contestants were Debbie the Space Alien of the show's Wack Pack and bodybuilder and future professional wrestler Nicole Bass.

In February 1994, the special was released on VHS as Howard Stern's New Year's Rotten Eve 1994 by One Twelve, Inc. and Infinity Broadcasting Corporation, the title referencing the television show Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve. It came with a limited edition poster of Stern illustrated by artist LeRoy Neiman and the video contains additional footage of Stern and his staff discussing the event.

A clip of the Ted Danson and Whoopi Goldberg sketch in which Stern dressed in blackface and used racial slurs resurfaced in 2020 when Donald Trump Jr. posted it on social media after Stern criticized President Donald Trump on a recent show.[11][12] Stern admitted, "The shit I did was fucking crazy" and that he has since toned down his show, crediting years in psychotherapy for his evolution.[13][14]

Private Parts: The Album is the soundtrack album to the 1997 biographical comedy film based on Stern's first book Private Parts, released on February 25, 1997 by Warner Bros. Records.[16][17] The album is a compilation of classic and contemporary rock songs with excerpts from various scenes from the film. Two songs are original tracks featuring Stern on vocals: "The Great American Nightmare" performed by Rob Zombie and "Tortured Man", co-written and performed by The Dust Brothers with assistance from Stern's writers Jackie Martling and Fred Norris.[16] The former has been the opening theme to Stern's radio show since 1999. The album was produced by Peter Afterman, Jeff Gold and Rick Rubin.[16]

The album was promoted with alternate covers. Of the first one million copies pressed, 600,000 of them depicted a cover of a nude Stern with the New York City skyline covering him with the Empire State Building covering his genitals. The remaining copies were divided into three alternate cover schemes that were one time pressings only, a similar tactic used for the paperback edition of Stern's second book, Miss America. A fifth version of the soundtrack was for promotional use only. A ticket was placed in one copy of the first million pressed which gave the buyer the chance to receive the album pressed in gold.[16]

Upon release, the album went to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. As the film entered the box office at number one, this feat marked the first double chart debut in American history. Stern became the second radio personality to have topped a US record chart, behind Rick Dees.[18] On May 8, 1997, it was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America for selling one million copies.[17]
