Guide to the Howard Stern Show Archive: 2003

This guide provides an overview of The Howard Stern Show for the year 2003. This year is historically significant as it marks the "End of an Era" for terrestrial radio, featuring some of the biggest celebrity interviews in the show's history and the ramping up of battles with the FCC.

• The Battle with Clear Channel: After fines for the "Bubba the Love Sponge" incident, Clear Channel dropped Stern from six stations. Howard’s daily rants about censorship became legendary.
• The Return of Artie Lange: 2003 was the first full year of Artie Lange as the official third mic. His chemistry with Robin, Fred, and Gary was raw, dangerous, and addicting.
• The "Fartman" Oscars Stunt: Howard attempted to fly over the Oscars in a jetpack dressed as Fartman. The ensuing chaos and interviews about the failure are pure gold.

Wack Pack Dynamics: The archive from this period shows the Wack Pack in its prime, with heavy involvement from members like Evil Dave Letterman and Miss Howard Stern (who was crowned in a pay-per-view event that set non-sports records). Notable Guest Highlights of 2003 howard stern archive 2003
