Leno Rips Off Howard Stern!
Filed under: Howard Stern > Jay Leno
Is there anyone in Hollywood that isn't mad at Jay Leno?
Apparently Howard Stern is fuming because Jay Leno stole one of his bits during his prime time show.
Leno had NFL commentator Terry Bradshaw on the show to compete with a chicken for choosing the week's winners in football…a bit Howard had already been doing for years! Stern even sent a copy of his chicken skit to the Leno show to prove his point. Howard said on his Sirius radio show last week:
"This must be a giant Punk'd on me. This guy's ripped off like ten major things from my show. But the chicken thing we did for years."
Not cool, Jay! You wanted 5 shows a week so you better start coming up with your own material to fill them!

Go fuck yourself, Howard Stern!
howard stern is so 90s…dude your career is over!!!
But Perez, you take a lot of stuff from another website…almost word by word.
Who watches Howard Stern anyway? Nobody! You suck at picking sides Perez.
Who listens to Howard Stern anyway? Nobody! You suck @ picking sides Perez.
Howard is always claiming people are ripping off his ideas. Most of those claims are B.S. but Leno really is an unoriginal hack. His "green car challenge" is a total rip-off of Top Gear U.K. and their "star in a reasonably priced car" bit. Leno is an admitted fan of that show, as well.
Also, Howard haters can suck my big grouper.
Anyone who is cool LOVES Howard Stern. You guys are Douche bags just like moon face
Jay Leno has been on TV 5 nights a week for years. Get a clue and spellcheck. I've seen some pretty major typos on your articles.
The fact that one of Stern's former employees works for Leno as a writer doesn't help much to eschew the accusations.
ur such a dick head perez, all this shit against leno is coming as a result of that stupid david letterman scandal, jay has writers to come up with shit to blame them. fuck you and fuck letterman.
and btw everyone rips off howard stern.
Re: astios12 – I agree the worst thing that happened to hawards career was to go to sirius, yeah it fattened his pockets but he is pretty much obscure these days and I am a huge fan, I miss the old howard on free radio.
Perez, why do you keep saying Jay wanted 5 shows a week? Have you forgotten Jay HAD 5 shows a week at his previous job??
i swear to god, artie could get up on howard's desk and shit all over his breakfast and howard would eat it and then tell artie how awesome that was. artie gets away with shit that NOBODY else on the show can get away with. howard is just as bad as everybody else who has enabled artie his whole life and turned him into a bitching, moaning, whining, fat, spoilt baby.
"WAAAAAAAAAAH, i'm the only person on earth who ever had a parent die and everybody should let me do whatever i want and not make me go to work when i don't feel like it. i deserve to smoke heroin whenever i want! feel sorry for me! WAAAAAAH!!!"
fire artie lange. he's a liar and a hack.
Howard is STILL mad that Stuttering John went off and made a ton of money elsewhere. He cries about jay everyday, very jealous.
How much money does Howard send to Dave when he does his rip-off version of Win Ben Steins money with Fred?
Funny how the whole Howie cast joins in his Jay bashing but they all seem to watch it.
The chicken picking NFL winners has been around much longer than either Howard or Jay. Howard is going to have to try much harder … so are you, Perez, at your constant attempt at trying to take down NBC. It's laughable.
Not even worth stealing. Not funny at all. He should be flattered that someone liked it.
Leave Jay alone, He is awesome!!!
Why are you so obsessed with Jay Leno? Boring. And all late night hosts do 5 shows per week. You suck.
Jay Leno sucks.
And…Howard stole his schtick from others, too. The "bits" Howard's whining about were done by other people long before Howard did them (how about National Lampoon's "Fartman"? Sound familiar?). Howard's just a better liar than Leno.
In fact, I can't think of much of anything that Howard DID invent. Payback's a bitch, huh Stern?
Oh please, Jay Leno isn't responsible for this. Since he's a hack who uses his staff to make him funny, then obviously the writers are to blame. Shame Leno doesn't have enough brains to recognize when copycat scenarios are used.
Bitter Pill for Howard to swallow, losing studdering John to Jay.
Howard Stern is overrated.
Was that skit even worth ripping off??
HOWARD STERN RULES!!!
Regarding leno's "green car challenge" bit… that was stolen from a British show called "Top Gear" they have been doing a segment where celebs race cars and try to get the best time for years… first time I saw leno do it I though to myself "what a flipping rip off"….
The chicken bit has been around and used by DJ's around the country for twenty years. Why doesn't Howard get on the radio and tell who he stole it from… What a giant douchebag!!!
not the only bit jay rips off.
his signature "jaywalking" is a direct rip of howard's "homeless game".
making stars 'work' for plugs is also a direct rip.
i understand a lot of people don't like howard, but at least he is original, creative, and although maybe serving a smaller audience, his sirius show is better than ever.
at least dave admits that he got the idea of talking to his mom on the air from howard.
blatant stealing of a bit. jay's writers haven't even tried to slightly change it to give it a little originality.
STUDDERING JOHN AND JAY LENO ARE FUCKING ASSHOLES AND HAVE NO TALENT.
Re: LizardKinG – Tradio calls are whre it's at these days. That shit is comedy gold!!
Love Howard.
JAY LENO IS GOING TO BURN IN HELL!!
FAT FUCK!
Jay's "bit" of asking people questions on the street is a total Howard Stern thing. Jay is a total hack and should have left on a high note instead of dragging the network down around him
Re: stickrat – Sorry Rat, but Howard ripped off most of his schtick from Steve Dahl. These days he's copying Don Imus, they both wear age ianppropriate clothing, have fake hair, and both married vapid dimwits. At least Deerder is helping kids with cancer, Howards wife is busy on red carpets and attending birthday parties for cats.
FINALLY people recognize that Leno's been stealing Howard's bits for YEARS!! And to ALLLLL you Stern-haters on this site that are BASHING the good name of the KING OF ALL MEDIA, go fuck yourselves!! GO SUCK ON RUSH LIMBAUGH'S FAT, COKE-ADDICTED CHODE!! LONG LIVE THE KING OF ALL MEDIA!! BABA BOOEY BABA BOOEY BABA BOOEY BABA BOOEY BABA BOOEY BABA BOOEY BABA BOOEY BABA BOOEY BABA BOOEY BABA BOOEY BABA BOOEY BABA BOOEY BABA BOOEY BABA BOOEY BABA BOOEY BABA BOOEY BABA BOOEY BABA BOOEY !!!!
Well if you don't know that Howard HAS INVENTED EVERYTHING then you better shut up! sit down!
sternfannetwork.com sucks big time
artiefannetwork.com Rules big time
Howard sucks
Leno rules
Re: The Sound Stage – Howard invented asking questions. Recognize bitches.
FUCK THE CHIN!
Howard is a big baby. He stole that bit from the morning zoo show.
artiefannetwork is where you won't get banned for calling Beth a horseface.
I know Howard claims a lot of people steal ideals from him but in the case of Leno he is right. Only problem is that Leno is never funny or witty with what he steals. Everyone steals from everyone else in the entertainment industry. Perez is the biggest stealer of all.
Once again, you're right on top of things Perez. Howard has been complaining about Jay stealing all his bits for YEARS now! Regardless, it's good to see someone besides Howard reporting this.
Re: muttsucks – Kimba sez you got a tiny cock……and a taste for man meat.
He ripped off all of David Lettermans riffs when he first moved to late night. he is a shameless idiot.
Re: Lindsay Lohan – The only thing Hilton is on top of is the pool boy. Howard has become what he used to hate.
Bits/people Jay Leno has stolen from Stern:
1) Jaywalking
2) "work for plugs"
3) chicken picking football games
4) crazy questions on the red carpet
5) Kenneth Keith Kallenbach
6) Stuttering John
7) "Pitch to America" (variation on the homeless game where people guess to the outcome of a question
8) "Wheel of Consolation" - not exactly a Howard original, but he has had wheel of sex, wheel of gay sex, etc. for years before Jay started this.
For a full, hilarious recap of all of this, go to youtube and type in "stuttering john leaves".
Other elements on shows that Howard made prominent in culture:
1) deconstructing the interview as the interview goes on (Bill O'Reilly)
2) Talking openly about porn and sexual functions (The View interviewing Jenna Jameson, Oprah having Dr Oz talking about e****lation, that orgasm woman)
3) Asking people about the interworkings of the show that they're on (The View)
4) Fighting/Shouting matches as entertainment (Fox News, Crossfire)
5) The lives/relationships between the show's staff becoming fodder (The View, Regis/Kelly)
Re: astios12 – there is 500 million dollars in his account that says different
Howard is still the tops at interviewing celebs and getting them to admit things their publicists will later kill them for spilling. Or their wives/girlfriends/etc. Everything else is stolen and suppossedly improved on. So who cares??? I love his show, but Howard should stop whining about others stealing. You only kiss his ass because he's unfathomably nice to you when you come on the show–prob only because of Beth.
What do you mean by "You wanted 5 shows a week so.." ???
Do you not realize he's had 5 shows a week for the past 20 yrs???
I love Howard Stern BUT Jay Leno DID do his Jay Walking bit as early as 1986. It was on a Showtime special called 'Jay Leno and the American Dream'
Re: jarvisbearcub – WOW- good compilation! Have listened to Howard for almost 20 years, and I have been amazed at what Leno has stolen over the years. Let's not forget he hid in the closet trying to listen in on network brass deciding whether or not to give him the Johnny gig, and the most classic (and least known!) story about him trying to tie up Sandra Berhard and play all kinds of S&M games plus the backside on their FIRST DATE before he met Mavis! Now THAT'S comedy gold!!! FREAK! Leno isn't over b/c he never was great. Howard has been better than ever on Sirius. Worth every penny. Tradio calls are CLASSIC!
Leno sucks balls. Howard is a genius who has come up with everything on the spot at his show.
My mom is best friends with Artie and Howard. They're the most intellegent people.
Go fuck yourselves. Mother fucking cocks.
Leno steals everything. Admit it you half brained twits. I'll come over there and fuck you up.
Comedians, actors, businessmen, regular people etc always copy things they think are smart or funny. I think Stern is being really petty on this one. He can say he thought of it first but then he should just shut it. Stern could have been a huge talent if he wasn't so fixated on talking about sex. He diminished his career with that fixation.
Re: tigrrrlilly – TOTALLY - where the hell has he been for like five days…lazy, ungrateful piece of shit
Howard has become what he used to mock. Leno is still the same guy. Howard is now a politically correct guy who is afraid of irritating anyone that might get in the way of his celebutard wife. Leno is an easy target. ArtieFanNetwork.com the free speech alternative to SFN.
In my country we have no gay bloggers.
Re: SchmoopyFucksYoungBoys – Love and miss Steve Dahl!
Did Beth Oats the horse faced gold digger call Perez Hilton to plant this story.
Beth Oats wants Hamptons Howie to be famous for something.
Re: sharre – LOL. good fucking point.
p.s. it's not jay ripping off the ideas…it's his idiot subordinates who can't come up with anything good, feel pressure, and rip off ideas from others. jay probably has no idea howard ever did that skit
HOWARD STERN rules. FUUUUCK Jay "the chin" Leno rich ass stupid-not funny a-hole.
HOWARD STERN IN THE BEST!!! SCREW JAY LENO!!!.
hardcandyshell said if first and best: Go fuck yourself, Howard Stern! LOL!
don't forget stuttering john use to work for stern. then he left to become jay's announcer. so it could be true
I love Jay, but putting hundreds of people out of work isn't my idea of cool…
Re: PulpFictionbuff –
Hey, thanks Pulp!
Leno ripped off most of his bits from Howard.Jaywalking he ripped off from Howard,sending an intern to the red carpet to ask goofy questions he ripped off from Howard,having to earn your plugs he ripped off from Howard.
what do u mean, Leno has always had 5 shows a week
Maybe if Stern put the same effort into his own show, that he spends stalking Leno, he might be worth listening to again. Besides, Howard himself has ripped off bits from other DJ's. I guess being married to a horse has erased his memory?
"Jay Walking" is a rip off of Stern's long played "Homeless Game". Stern has been making people do truly uncomfortable stuff in order to promote a movie, or album forever, Leno just started a lame version of that with his new show. Stern had a chicken picking football games years ago. The only original thing Leno has done since 1993 is the dancing itos. If Stern is as irrelevant as some here suggest then why is their hero Leno ripping him off? It's because Stern is still good at what he does. Outside of long past stand up days, Leno has never been good at coming up with his own stuff.
