Howard Stern's old "Butt Bongo Dan" from the WWOR-TV days. Yeah. Google it. As sleazy as they come. Once wore a diaper on live tv, and desicrated the baby Jesus. And now he's screwing around with one of WNBC's last few redeeming features. And the 5p show is truly a throwaway, because it's all about the show lede-in ... and Channel 4's got 'nuthin ... Ellen DeGeneres??
