Howard Stern

I had a miserable failure in Detroit. I got hired to be the morning man at WWWW in Detroit, which are the worst call letters for a radio station. I get on there and go, WWWW Detroit W4. I don't know what I'm doing, so I... I was hired to be the morning man. I had had some success in Hartford. Not a huge success, but success. And I got hired in Detroit.

And there was a radio consultant who said to me, do not go to Detroit. There are four rock stations. And out of the four, the one that they want to hire you at, dead last. Nobody even, I would go to parties and people would say, what do you do for a living? I'd say, oh, I'm the morning guy in W4. They go, oh, is that station still on the air? Nobody listened to this thing.

W4, Detroit's W4, the worst station. So yeah, I went on the radio in Detroit. It was a tremendous failure. And I said, what am I doing wrong? And I sat with it, and I thought, I've got to really just, I guess, lose all inhibition and admit to everything and just see where that goes. And when I went to Washington, D.C.

The chemistry was great. And a program director put us together and I went on the air with her and I started to become very confessional and people respond. We shot up to number one in a record amount of time. Because it was real and honest.
