The story Stephen didn’t want Howard to tell was talked about on Stern’s show a couple days ago. Howard offered to give the first interview to Stephen before Jimmy because Stephen has better ratings. But Stephen knew that Howard and Jimmy were really close friends and Stephen told Howard to do Jimmy’s show first because he knew Jimmy needed the ratings and because of how close they were. That says so much about Stephen and how friends and relationships come before ratings. That says so much about Stephen’s character. Great interview by the way!

If you guys were wondering what the story Stephen didn't want Howard to tell, it was about his appearance on The Tonight Show with Fallon. In his radio show leading up to the promotional tour of his book Howard talked about dreading going on talk shows and two of the talk shows that wanted him on were Colbert and Fallon. Howard is friendly to both Colbert and Fallon and Howard thought that if he went on one show before the other that it might seem he's showing favoritism, that is not the case. He ended up doing a coin flip to see which show he would do first and the winner was Colbert. A few weeks later Howard was back on the radio talking about how bad and stressed he feels about doing Fallon's show second, although if Fallon won the coin toss he would feel bad that he was doing Stephen's show second. Stephen heard him on the radio and called Howard (off air)and told him to do Fallon first and he's OK with it. Howard actually tells this story on his appearance on Fallon.

A truly fantastic interview. One of the all-time greats in radio turning a late night appearance into what feels like an abridged radio broadcast. The honesty with which Howard and Steven talk about wanting to make their respective mothers happy when they were depressed really hits hard. Truly gonna be one of the great interviews from this show. Still want to hear Howard's story that he wasn't allowed to tell, but it still was amusing to watch two seasoned interviewers wrestle for control for a moment there.

Howard Stern is a legend. America just wouldn't be the same without him. Unless you've followed him from the beginning you really genuinely have no idea how important he is to many, many people. We're talking about the lifeblood of America, everyone from truckers to firefighters to cops idolize the guy. He was there for 9/11. Go watch the rebroadcast/special they did on that day. People were telling him he should evacuate, go home, because they didn't know where the terrorists were going to strike next and he was IN NEW YORK CITY. He was like "No, this is too important. The people need me."

So proud of Howard, He's evolved so much as a person. When people act like assholes, toward other people just for a laugh, it's almost always about there own insecurities. Howard has always been a comedic genius and one of the greatest interviewers of our time. After years of psychotherapy and addressing different forms of trauma from his childhood, he has a more positive outlook on life. Howard, now understands that his parents did the best they could, and that's all any of us are capable of. My own personal background has so many similar parallels to Stern, which is why I always found him relatable....In my opinion, he has managed to use his popularity and influence to become an advocate for therapy. There's always been such as negative stigma attached to mental health. Love is the greatest medicine there is. There's no better feeling than the human touch from people you connect with. Freeing the mind is freeing the soul! I love you Howard

I really felt like he set the example of the kind of attitude we all should have in regards to the subject. I think most of us grow up with the stereotype that therapy is for "crazy" people. But this interview dispels that. Unfortunately though, not all therapists & counselors are good ones.

Howard has been going (and has been admitting to seeing) a therapist 4 times a week for like the last 30 years lol

Howard’s the best. We’re also so lucky to hear a really great man talk about psychological issues he’s got help with.

Stern is one of my favorite people to watch /, hear being interviewed or doing interviews (either way he flips it when he's being interviewed so a win win 100%). Love the fact that he does not shy away from anything, whatsoever, but the opposite whatever the subject he normalizes the idea notion and necessity to be open and vulnerable. Love it.

I would lock the rest of my media down if they did a newer full-swing interview together. With Colbert's comfortable appreciation for subtlety and direction And Stern being able to find someone's gut without just spraying bullets (anymore)

Thank you for uploading the whole interview, it was much more insightful and deeper. Should have aired the whole thing! 🙌🏻

I really love this interview. That exchange around the 22 minute mark is so interesting. They had a whole little side conversation going on there and Stern ultimately decided not to tell the story. The way they were acting, especially Stern leads you to believe that it was going to be a very flattering story about Colbert. For Colbert to be so protective makes me think it may involve a third party and the story may be embarrassing to them. I thought it was very cool that Stern clearly considered it and decided not to tell the story. That's the way it should be. We don't need to know fucking everything.

Stephen is so much more enjoyable doing these kind of proper interviews.

"You look like a disturbed uncle." Haha! I listened to years and years of Howard on NYC radio - and he was hysterical. He woke me up with terrestrial radio in the morning and it was such a push for me to get to work and go through work. So he really was an element in my life. Gawd bless him.

Stephen keeps amazing me with his connection with a diverse range of guests. He might be the best interviewer currently on these nightly shows.

I believe Stephen is certainly the best at that in his category

After I saw 'Private Parts', I went from thinking of Howard Stern as a trashy, shock-jock radio personality to someone I really respect for sticking up for freedom of speech in the face of media censorship. After this interview, I feel like, for one of the very few times in my life, that I personally relate to a famous figure.

Stephan is an amazing interviewer and person, Howard Stern is one of the best interviewers

Colbert did an amazing interview with the KING OF ALL MEDIA...

This interview was a hundred times better than the one he did with Jimmy Fallon!!!

Talking about parent's wanting their kids to sit on your lap and then saying "I got off on it" probably wasn't the best word choice 😂😂

Love how he lets him talk and listens to him the entire time without interruption. Watch and learn! Time to look up the interview with Steven now!

We are all better for having this interview in its entirety. So, so good. You should also check out the super sized interview he gave on Conan's podcast. Definitely one of the best interviews I've ever heard. Incredibly insightful and honest.

One of the best interviews I have ever seen. Thank you for posting it in it's entirety.

Howard is the best interviewer I have ever heard. He's a master at getting information that no one else can get. I enjoyed his shock days and I love his transformation. We all get older and wiser.

That 30 mins went fast, So captivated! We all know how great Howard Stern but huge props for Stephen too, for this great interview and letting Howard speak without interruption.

Love it when the guests give entrances like this!! Usually my favorite thing to see

I love Howard Stern. I remember listening to him on DC 101 back in the late 70s/early 80s. And his show on some cable channel back in the 90s. So outrageous, so intelligent. And Private Parts was hilarious. I look forward to reading the new book (and seeing the movie?) Thank you Stephen for this wonderful interview. Especially the extended version on KZread

Mental health issues are one of the symptoms that phd chemist dr Andrew Hall Cutler found to be often related to heavy metal poisoning. His work was and still is revolutionary in many ways and has helped so many people tremendously. I would really recommend reading the success stories and "what not to do" you can find it by googling his name, and also reading a really great article by Rebecca Rust Lee on the Weston Price site.
