Howard Allan Stern (born January 12, 1954) is an American radio and television personality, producer, author, actor, and photographer. He is known for his long-running radio show The Howard Stern Show, which has aired on Sirius XM Radio since January 2006. Stern wished to be on the radio at five years of age. He landed his first radio jobs while at Boston University—WTBU, the campus station, and WNTN in Newton, Massachusetts. From 1976 to 1982, Stern developed his on-air personality through morning positions at WRNW in Briarcliff Manor, New York, WCCC in Hartford, Connecticut, WWWW in Detroit, Michigan, and WWDC in Washington, D.C. Stern worked afternoons at WNBC in New York City from 1982 until his firing in 1985.

In 1985, Stern began a 20-year run at WXRK in New York City where his show was syndicated to 60 markets and attracted 20 million listeners. Stern won numerous awards, including Billboard’s Nationally Syndicated Air Personality of the Year eight times. He became the most fined radio host when the Federal Communications Commission issued fines totaling $2.5 million to station licensees for content it deemed indecent. Stern became one of the highest paid radio figures after signing a five-year deal with Sirius in 2004 worth $500 million. Stern took up photography in 2011; his work has been featured in Hamptons and WHIRL magazines. In 2012, Stern was inducted into the National Radio Hall of Fame and began serving as a judge on America's Got Talent until 2015.

Stern describes himself as "King of All Media" for his successes outside radio. He has hosted and produced numerous late night television shows, pay-per-view events, and home videos. His two books, Private Parts (1993) and Miss America (1995), entered the The New York Times Best Seller list at number one with each selling over one million copies. The former was made into a biographical comedy film in 1997 that had Stern and his radio show staff play as themselves which topped the US box office in its opening week and grossed $41.2 million domestically. Stern performs on its soundtrack which charted at number one on the Billboard 200 and earned a Platinum certification for selling one million copies.

Biographie

Stern met his first wife, Alison Berns, at Boston University through a mutual friend. He used Berns in a student film he made about Transcendental Meditation. Stern wrote, "Within a week after our relationship began, I knew I was going to marry her." They married at Temple Ohabei Shalom in Brookline, Massachusetts, on June 4, 1978; both were 24 years old. They have three daughters: Emily Beth (b. 1983), Debra Jennifer (b. 1986), and Ashley Jade (b. 1993). In October 1999, they decided to separate. Stern said, "I was totally neurotic and sort of consumed with work. I took work as the most important thing and the only thing." Stern moved from Long Island into his apartment in the Upper West Side of Manhattan which he bought in 1998. The marriage ended in 2001 with an amicable divorce and settlement.

When Stern was single he dated Angie Everhart and Robin Givens. In 2000, Stern began dating model and television host Beth Ostrosky. He announced their engagement on the radio show on February 14, 2007. They married at Le Cirque restaurant in New York City that was officiated by Mark Consuelos on October 3, 2008.

In the early 1970s, Stern's parents began to practice Transcendental Meditation and encouraged him to learn the technique. Stern credits it with helping him to quit smoking, achieve his goals in radio, and curing his mother of depression. He continues to practice it to this day. Stern has interviewed Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the founder of the technique; Stern thanked Maharishi for relieving his mother's depression.

Stern revealed his suffering with Obsessive-compulsive disorder in Miss America; his condition originated during his time at university and continued into his radio career. By 1992, he had developed back pain and visits to a chiropractor and physical therapists were unsuccessful. Stern credits John E. Sarno in relieving him of his back pain which eased his OCD as a result.

As part of his radio show's Staff Revelations Game in January 2006, Stern revealed he underwent rhinoplasty and had liposuction under his chin in the 1990s.

In 2006, Stern filed a trademark for the name "King of All Media".

In May 2013, Stern bought a home in Palm Beach, Florida, for a reported $52 million.

On June 30, 2015, Howard announced three hours into his radio show that one of his daughters was getting married to a man that he liked very much, but did not elaborate further.
