I worship the microphone Howard Stern gets his spit on. I'm that much of a fan. Howard's contract with Sirius radio expires at the end of this year and Howard admitted that he's in talks to replace Simon Cowell.

On why he wants to become an American Idol judge: "There's not a better job on the planet than judging that f---ing karaoke contest. It would be the best thing that happened to me."
On his potential new schedule: "What a cush job -- $100 million for four months. Who wouldn't take that?"
On the salary he wants: "They'd have to pay me a ton of dough because I already make a ton of dough. A $100 million to judge a karaoke contest? Yeah, I would do that show for $100 million."
On why the King of Media should replace Mr. Cowell: "I can't imagine anyone else but me replacing [Cowell]... I don't know. How else are they going to make that show work? Who knows how to broadcast and who knows how to be interesting? And who's not afraid to speak their mind?"
I am so in love with Howard Stern, I can't even express it without sounding as sane as Tila Tequila, so I won't bother to attempt it. But I will say this: American Idol is a sinking ship. Howard could rescue it, he really could! Simon is so much easier on contestants, but Howard never gives a sh*t and he is amazing. Fox, make this happen!
