He’s Got Talent: 10 Things To Know About Celebrity Dad Howard Stern (Photos)
Howard Stern
When it comes to Howard Stern, you either love him… or you hate him. But now that he is on America’s Got Talent, there’s one thing you won’t be able to do anymore, and that’s ignore him.
Sure, he’s built his career around his juvenile humor and “shock jock” ways, but rarely does anyone get to see the other side of Howard that he rarely shows to the public: his softer, Father-figure side. As a father to three daughters who he shares custody of with his ex-wife Alison Stern, he says that he would gladly take full custody of them if ever called upon to do so. So his farting jokes might not win a lot of Babble Moms’ affection out there, but hopefully his strong compassion that he has for his children and his fatherly advice to the hopeful contestants on America’s Got Talent will.
Check out our slideshow of the ten things you probably didn’t know about Howard and tell us, are you looking forward to seeing him on the small screen? Do you think he’s got “what it takes” to be an America’s Got Talent judge? Sound off in our comments section!
