Howard Stern Comes Again

By Howard Stern

Rock stars and rap gods. Comedy legends and A-list actors. Supermodels and centerfolds. Moguls and mobsters. A president.

Over his unrivaled four-decade career in radio, Howard Stern has interviewed thousands of personalities—discussing sex, relationships, money, fame, spirituality, and success with the boldest of bold-faced names. But which interviews are his favorites? It’s one of the questions he gets asked most frequently. Howard Stern Comes Again delivers his answer.

This book is a feast of conversation and more, as between the lines Stern offers his definitive autobiography—a magnum opus of confession and personal exploration. Tracy Morgan opens up about his near-fatal car crash. Lady Gaga divulges her history with cocaine. Madonna reminisces on her relationship with Tupac Shakur. Bill Murray waxes philosophical on the purpose of life. Jerry Seinfeld offers a master class on comedy. Harvey Weinstein denies the existence of the so-called casting couch. An impressive array of creative visionaries weigh in on what Stern calls “the climb”—the stories of how they struggled and eventually prevailed. As he writes in the introduction, “If you’re having trouble finding motivation in life and you’re looking for that extra kick in the ass, you will find it in these pages.”

Interspersed throughout are rare selections from the Howard Stern Show archives with Donald Trump that depict his own climb: transforming from Manhattan tabloid fixture to reality TV star to president of the United States. Stern also tells of his Moby Dick-like quest to land an interview with Hillary Clinton in the run-up to the 2016 election—one of many newly written revelations from the author. He speaks with extraordinary candor about a variety of subjects, including his overwhelming insecurity early in his career, his revolutionary move from terrestrial radio to SiriusXM, and his belief in the power of psychotherapy.

As Stern insightfully notes in the introduction: “The interviews collected here represent my best work and show my personal evolution. But they don’t just show my evolution. Gathered together like this, they show the evolution of popular culture over the past quarter century.”

Reviews for Howard Stern Comes Again

[foof2you · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

The best part about this book is that it is similar to a short story book. You can start and stop as you like, in the middle, at the end however you want. Without a plot or characters to keep track of it makes a perfect book to read anywhere in one shot or interview by interview. This is a book of what Howard feels were his best interviews or segments from 1995 to 2017. Each of the main interviews includes an introduction by Howard. To me the most interesting part of this book are the segments with Donald Trump starting in 1995 to 2015. Donald was a frequent guest on Howards show many times just calling in based on something he heard.

A "best of" from one of the best interviewers in the world. Howard's maturation and self-awareness shines through in reading these interviews (summaries - as they are abridged from the full versions). His ability to have guests open up is more apparent with th e interviews in the past five years. This is starkyl contrasted with his interview of his mother, Ray from 2000.A disappointment is the bias and sympathies toward PC views.

Comes Againby Howard Stern2019Simon & Schuster 4.0 / 5.0I have so much more respect for Howard Stern after reading the introduction to his new book, Comes Again. He tells of his OCD, and of his health scare of 2006. Howard Stern also tells us of how embarrassed he is by his first two books and the first few decades of his career. In the 90s he began getting therapy- first once a week. Then twice a week. Then three times a week and eventually four days a week. He had to learn that other people had things to say, too. He explains the reason he did Americas Got Talent for 4 years was to try to change Americas perception of him. You gotta respect that. This is a collection if previously broadcast interviews with many people. Some are excerpted. Each interview is prefaced with commentary that is current and relevant to today, and it is the best part of the book. He is at his wittiest here.My overall favorite interview was with Sia, but this is a very chucky thick book full of interviews. I liked Rosie O'Donnells interview, who is now one of Howard's closest friends and Anderson Cooper. But they all are fun to read.It must have been extremely difficult to accept and then publicly admit he is embarrassed by his past. I respect him more!
