  <name>Spend a Day in the Studio with Howard Stern</name>
  <short_description></short_description>
  <description>Once again we are able to offer this exclusive experience for Jayni and Chevy Chase's Green School Auction: Sit in on the Howard Stern Show and watch Howard and Robin and the gang do their show live--you'll also get a full tour of the studio and offices by Gary &quot;Baba Booey&quot; Dell' Abate! However, as promised by Howard, this year will be even better!  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

The self-proclaimed &quot;King of All Media&quot; has been dubbed a shock jock for his highly controversial use of scatological, sexual and racial humor. Stern has said that the show was never about shocking people, but primarily intended to offer his honest opinions on a gamut of issues (ranging from world affairs to problems among his own staff). Though controversial, he is the highest-paid radio personality in the United States and the most fined personality in radio broadcast history.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Howard Stern is best known for his national radio show, which for many years was syndicated on FM radio stations (and a few AM stations) throughout the United States until his last terrestrial radio broadcast on December 16, 2005. He began broadcasting on the subscription-based Sirius satellite radio service on January 9, 2006.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
In addition to radio, Stern moved into publishing, television, feature films, and music. He has written two books, Private Parts, which he adapted into a film, and Miss America. Stern's television endeavors include a variety show on New York City's WWOR-TV, a nightly E! show documenting his radio broadcasts, a similar CBS program that competed with Saturday Night Live for a time, &quot;Howard On-Demand&quot; for digital cable subscribers in various markets, and Son of the Beach, a parody of Baywatch for FX which Stern executive produced.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

In 2006, Howard Stern was elected into Time Magazine's &quot;Time 100: The People who shape our world&quot;[1] and was ranked #7 in Forbes Magazine's 2006 annual Celebrity 100.[2] On February 13, 2007, Stern became engaged to his long-time girlfriend, model Beth Ostrosky.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
The winner of this incredible experience will be able to sit in during a taping of the show and observe all the action. A meet and greet with the entire crew is included in this package. HOWARD ALSO COMMITTED WHEN CHEVY WAS ON THE SHOW ON SEPTEMBER 18TH TO LET THE WINNER PICK AN EXACT SHOW BASED ON WHAT IS HAPPENING AND THE GUEST SCHEDULE TO MAKE SURE THAT THE WINNER'S EXPECATIONS ARE EXCEDED...INCLUDING HAVING CHEVY COME BACK TO ACCOMPANY THE WINNER. For true Howard Stern fans who listened to the September 18th exclusive one hour Chevy Chase interview and know their long and close history, this is truly a Howard Stern fan dream come true. Gary Dell'Abate, Howard's long time producer will serve as the host for this experience and tour the winner around the studio.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
For Howard Stern fans, life does not get any better!
