I heard that, that was funny and kind of annoying. Stern was funny and the French guy was very annoying. It was good when Stern told him what Amreicans think about France and the French. Just think if is wasn't for the U.S. the French would be speaking German.

No he kept calling back trying show how funny he was, it didn't work. They had to tell him not to call back and hung up on him and the rest of his show.

KC Left the show for personal reasons. He MAY be back but it is doubtful.

No, but Howard said if they didn't stop calling, he'd call the police and that the French guy would surrender to anyone in a uniform.

I don't think the French guy really understood that Howard was making fun of him and France. The french guy thought it was all a joke

Well the rumors are all over about KC on the Stern show forums. They have been ever since he left. Sickness...money issues, homosexual group travel...But I do believe it is B/C of his gambling and money issues...ever since he won all that money playing online poker he has really gone downhill. He was prettty quirky anyway..we'll se what happens

The french guy and his cronies were really annoying. I was honestly about to turn the radio off because they were so obnoxioius.

From here:
http://www.marksfriggin.com/news.htm
"Over the past few months Howard has only mentioned KC once. At that time, he said that KC was out taking care of some ''personal business'' and that he'd be back soon. Now I've heard that Gary (Baba Booey), who was making an appearance somewhere, told a fan that KC has left the show for personal reasons. Apparently he will not be returning. "

Stern: I was pulled over satellite dispute
Wednesday, January 5, 2005 Posted: 4:02 PM EST (2102 GMT)
NEW YORK (AP) -- Howard Stern says he was pulled off four radio stations this week for using a pair of newly forbidden words: Satellite radio.
Citadel Broadcasting Corp., which aired Stern's envelope-pushing syndicated show, opted to yank the program Monday because the host was devoting too much time to his impending switch to Sirius Satellite Radio, Stern told his listeners.
Stern's decision to abandon terrestrial radio is often a topic of conversation on his show. Citadel felt the program had become "an infomercial" for Stern's next employer and pulled the plug, the shock jock said.
Stern's show had aired on Citadel stations in Syracuse, N.Y.; Providence, R.I.; Harrisburg, Pa., and Grand Rapids, Mich. Alex Eule, a spokesman for Citadel, said Wednesday the company would have no comment on the dispute.
It was unclear if the decision was permanent or temporary, according to "An Open Letter to Fans in the Citadel Markets" posted on Stern's Web site.
Stern, whose show still airs in more than 40 markets, was hardly cowed by the rebuke. He devoted extensive time on his highly rated show to making fun of Farid Suleman, chairman of the board and CEO of Citadel Broadcasting.
"Who are you punishing?" Stern asked during one broadcast. "You're not punishing me, I'm leaving in a year."
Suleman worked with Stern for several years at Infinity Broadcasting until his departure for Citadel in March 2002. Citadel owns and operates 155 FM and 58 AM radio stations in 24 states across the country, according to its Web site.
Last year, Clear Channel announced it was pulling Stern's syndicated show off a half-dozen of its stations because of concerns about possible government fines for indecency. Its announcement came after Clear Channel reached a $1.75 million settlement with the Federal Communications Commission over complaints against Stern and other radio personalities.
