You stuttering prick. Howard should kick your ingrate ass. Everything youhave, you owe to him and you could give a shit. You need to call him nowand make things right.

answer: I guess you feel people aren't allowed to move on in life
I don't feel that way at all. My point is that everything you have in lifeis a direct result of what Howard has done for you. You think Leno wouldwant you on his show based on your sorry ass stand up routine? Fuck no.My point was that it is time to do the right thing and call Howard and clearthe air and thank him for what he's done for you.
answer: last message to you, you put down my stand-up, you call me a stuttering prick, & yet you don't even know me, I sent howard a tiffany clock with the engraving "thank you" when I left, there's a biography of me on the tonight show web site that says thank you & compliments him, I said it on the air when I left, what more can I do? you listen to how they twist things without reading between the lines, just remember there are 2 sides to every story

>Hey Studder`in John,> I am a faithful and big Howard fan, to tell you first of all..and I haven`t>heard much about you on the show since you left until last week when they were>talking about you and Jay, after they read your interview in that Arizona>news column. Howard pissed me off because he didn`t get your point. He would have>totally fucked it up, you knew he would and you made the right decision. I am>still a Howard fan, but I`m not fooled by his reaction to your interview. And>Robin`s F`n 2 cents was a load of B.S. too. There`s no reason you shouild>have to kiss Howard`s ass. It`s understandable to know that you owe him so much>for your career, you shouldn`t have to mention it, every time you speak. If>Howard would have just gave you his blessings and you went on your way...how much>better it would be to have you drop in on the show, when ever you`re in New>York, that sucks that he holds a grudge. Of course he says it not against you>but on Jay, but that just shows how little he cares about you..Jay has taken>you to bigger and better things..and Howard can`t be happy for you? What a>fuckin control freak !!! I just don`t understand why he treats you and your>success this way.> Anyways John good luck in your ventures in comedy and tv, I`m a true Stern>fan and love all of you from the show...past and present. And don`t fuckin>worry about what Howard says...you got to be Studdering John on the Tonite>Show..not John Melendez...you make my ass laugh so much the way you were before you>got there..but will always be a fan of yours.. ;^)> Sincerly, Tracy ( from Long Beach, CA )
answer: I couldn't have said it better myself

>Hey John:>>>>I am a big fan of the work you did while on the Howard Stern show. Though I>didn't see or hear all of it, I thought you added a lot to the show. I>wonder after seeing your Bio why if saying thanks to Howard would be out of>the ball park? It sounds like Howard just wanted a public acknowledgment of>where you came from. I recently got Sirius and heard him talk about the>article just written about you. Even Oscar nominees have to thank the>little people.. Don't they? I am sure you thanked him but maybe I missed>it.>>>>I don't watch the tonight show because I enjoy Letterman a whole lot more..>Maybe you should have went there? But then Dave probably would have handled>it differently.>>>>Miss your rants on the Show. Good Luck to you and your family.>>>>Ron Phipps
answer: I did thank him, even sent him a tiffany clock that said thank you, also go to the nbc web site, my bio thanks him there, what more could I do? don't believe everything you hear

>From: "LOU" Randazzl>To: <mrjohnmelendez@hotmail.com>>Subject: I JUST LISTENED TO YOUR SONGS FROM THE WEBSITE..........>Date: Fri, 24 Mar 2006 17:04:03 -0500>> ..........which reminds me how Stern would fuckin' say how your album sucked. I could never understand why he would do that to you. He's recently admitted how he hates to see other people do good. I always said he treats his people on the show like shit and now I know I'm right. He didn't want you're album to do good!!!! Did you get that impression too?
answer: you are a very bright guy

>From: "LOU" >To: <mrjohnmelendez@hotmail.com>>Subject: I take JAY'S and your side and not STERN'S side in this feud!!!!>Date: Fri, 24 Mar 2006 16:17:04 -0500>>Bro, you did the right thing by not telling Howard until you got the job!!!! For years and years Howard would bust your balls and say you would never be anything. And that if it wasn't for the show you would be nothing. He did that to Gary too. And I honestly believe he meant it. I think Howard's got a mean streak like that. I don't think it was schtick, I think he's a scumbag like that. Don't get me wrong, I listen to Howard every day but I have to call it like I see it. And I think the reason he gets on Jay now is because he is mad because you showed him you weren't his pee-on and could better yourself without him and he feels like an asshole because he always told you you were nothing and now he looks like an idiot and he takes it out on Jay. DID I NAIL THIS ONE OR WHAT???? answer:COMPLETELY!

>Hey Jon:>Look, I like Howard ......most of the time....I hate his politics and most importantly, I don't think he's a straight guy when it comes to money. NOBODY comes before Howard and his money...NOBODY. Yeah, I got Sirius and have been listening to him since the NBC days. But, this shit with you is something I totally disagree with him on.>Today they started again. The only one who gets it is Gary...He's your real friend! Ralph is buried so up Howard's ass so far that it is just sickening. But, Gary totally understands what you did. You could easily tell that if you read between the lines. Just the probing questions from him to Howard were fantastic. Good for Gary! He's got your back! He got to his real feelings without confronting Howard. Only a fool could not read between the lines of what Gary was really saying. THERE WAS NO WAY IN HELL HOWARD WAS GOING TO MATCH THAT OFFER. AND, BY ALLOWING HIM IN ON YOUR DEAL, YOU RISKED LOSING IT!!!! What an ass he is. And he calls Jay an ass?>And, let me tell you something! There is no way in hell Howard would have ever risked blowing your deal, if he were in your shoes. What was he going to offer you? Another $25,000? Another $50,000? Actually, today he finally admitted he would not have given you anything! that just may be sour grapes at this point, but it was never going to happen in any case. Yet, he still feels you should have revealed your deal to him out of loyalty! You should have allowed HIM to first speak to Jay about ONE OF HIS EMPLOYEES. Where was that same "right" to speak on your behalf when you wanted raises in prior years? What a fucking joke.>Once again, for whatever its worth, you absolutely did the right thing for you and your family by making your own decision right then and there! And as far as you not giving him a thank you for your start? He had your services for many, many years at a discount. That's thanks enough in my opinion. Keep hustling for your family because nobody else is going to do it for you!>Sincerely,>Chuck Wadro>Ormond Beach, FL
answer: chuck, thank you for the wonderful e-mail, you get it, & it sounds like gary gets it as well, when I told robin my situation in private, she also understand but then about-faced me on the air, again, I appreciate the kind words

>From: Tejus Dasandi >To: mrjohnmelendez@hotmail.com>Subject: Questions from a UK fan>Date: Tue, 7 Mar 2006 08:08:28 -0800 (PST)>>Hi John, I'm a fan of 'The Howard Stern Show' from the UK. I also, when I can watch the 'Tonight Show'. First of all I have to say that you were great as 'Stuttering John' and I think your departure from the Stern Show left a large void. I had a few questions for you, but I'm not sure how many of them you will be able to answer... 1. Do you listen to Howard at all recently? If so, what do you think of Richard and Sal who were essentially your replacments? 2. On the 'Better Half Show' Mary Dell'Abate claimed that it was your fault that everyone thinks that Gary is 'pussy-whipped', becasue of your comments on the air about Gary's homelife. What are your thoughts on this and did you honestly think that Gary was a little pussy-whipped or was it for the air? 3. Any thoughts on CBS' lawsuit against Howard? 4. Howard thinks that Jay 'stole' you away and, to put it mildly, doesn't think much of him. Do you think his attidtude towards Jay, concerning yourself, is justified? 5. Last question, honest! On a couple of occasions during your 15 years on the Stern Show, you've asked Fred Norris point blank whether he liked you or not, to which you always said he did. I think Howard has asked Fred the same question as well and Fred has replied with the same answer. However, as soon as you left, Fred has said many times, that he never liked you and didn't think you added anything to the show. How do you feel about this, your opinion of Fred must changed after hearing this? Anyway, I hope you're able to answer some of these questions. Keep up the good work on the tonight show! Look forward to reading your answers, TJ answer: 1. I don't listen to the show since I don't have sirius, although I am flattered that you think it took two people to replace me
2. Gary didn't only get the pussy-whipped title from me although I did like to goof on him about it, I did observe him chasing his kid around while Mary proclaimed that it wasn't her turn to watch them, it was her day off
3. The lawsuit is interesting, I don't know enough about it to comment
4. Jay is a great guy, I was ready to leave, jay wanted to talk to howard about it beforehand but I thought that I should be 1st to let him know
5. fred who?

Dear John ->>Listened to you on the Radio and enjoy seeing you and your skits on the Leno>show. I have never written to any celebrity before, but I have some issues>that I thought you might be interested in, and could perhaps pass this along>to the NBC execs, and Jay Leno. Some of my "late night" friends are feeling>the same way about certain issues, so I decided to write.>>I don't know if you help with the writing, etc., of the Tonight Show, but>some of the jokes about the President are getting nasty. He is the>President for better or worst. I think some of the comments, although funny> are not appropriate. I am not a Republican nor a Democrat, but surely>there are enough other dummies to pick on. I'm sure other countries who don>t like us, find Jay's monologue>Wonderful. Remember Arsenio Hall?? He got so bad that he was cancelled.

Great that you have a site and that I could e-mail you. By the way ->your wife is pretty and seems like you are building a great family ->congrats on the new baby.>>Sinerely,>>Carol Givens>Reno, Nevada
answer:jay makes fun of all politicians, bill clinton, hillary, this just happens to be the administration that is in office right now & you must admit there is a lot to make fun of, thanks for watching & I assure you that Jay is not the kind of guy that takes any political sides, I will be performing at the palms hotel in vegas sometime in april, hopefully you can come down, all the best!
