Possibly my biggest regret was my interview with Robin Williams.

When Robin came on the show in the early nineties, I spent the entire time badgering him about how he had divorced his first wife and remarried his son's former nanny. I was attacking the guy, and he was justifiably furious with me. Years later, I realized I finally needed to apologize. I had already done this with some other people. I called them and tried to make amends. Some were gracious.

A radio guy I had been awful to said, "You know what, man? I'm so glad you called. I actually felt bad for you that you were carrying around so much bitterness and ugliness inside, and I'm happy you don't have that anymore. A famous comedian I had bashed said to me, "I appreciate that you called, but I don't know if I could ever forgive you. I had to go through a lot of misery, because your fans were brutal. He could have hung up on me.

He could have cursed me out. I had to do it. It took me twenty years to work up the nerve. I was in the midst of tracking down his phone number, and the next day he died.

I'm still filled with sadness over his loss and remorse for my failure to reach out sooner. Telling Carly Simon how hot she was for a half-hour or spewing sex questions to Wilmer Valderrama — this ultimately led to nothing.

It wasn't good radio. It was meaningless. It was just me being self-absorbed and compulsive about asking something that would provoke and antagonize. Those weren't really interviews. They were monologues. Instead of a conversation, it was just me blurting out ridiculous things. I had some real issues. In a clip that Metro UK brought back to light in October , Stern bombarded Bunton with invasive questions about if she was wearing underwear, when she lost her virginity "You weren't a virgin when you joined the band, were you?

Were you really? No kidding, at 18? Are you lying? What age did you develop? How old were you? That's what everyone talks about. Perhaps most egregiously, Stern at one point accused Bunton of dressing scantily for attention, saying, "So don't act like you don't like this, you're all about this.

You want attention through your body. You want it. You're asking for it, you're gonna get it," and playing sound clips from adult films. An obviously uncomfortable Bunton tried to diffuse the situation by politely answering Stern's questions and playing along, though she did protest, "My dad won't be happy that you're talking to me like this.

In , Stern had comedian Gilda Radner on his radio show as a "mystery guest" for an interview. The gag quickly got off to an uncomfortable start with Radner saying, "It's dumb here. Stern and cohost Robin Quivers accused Radner of "ruining the show" because she didn't disguise her voice, and an extremely awkward interview ensued in which Stern pressed an audibly nervous Radner on her personal relationships and sex life.

She came in, I guess she had heard I was insane. And she came in and she was very shaky and kept, sort of getting up and she got up quick to leave and hit her head on a speaker. And she was just, it was a disaster. Donald Trump was a frequent guest on Howard Stern's radio show in the s and s, back before he was president, and nearly every interview he did with Stern contained some kind of seriously cringeworthy moment. In September , the Chicago Tribune reported on an unearthed clip from in which Trump said he could have "nailed" Princess Diana who had recently died in a car accident and joked around with Stern about demanding that the British royal get tested for HIV first.

The Daily Beast also reported that during a interview Trump told Stern about being floored by a year-old Paris Hilton. And he forced Stern's intern Julie to come into the studio so he could comment on her appearance. Director Quentin Tarantino made headlines in February when a damning Nov. Tarantino, who had previously come under fire for his treatment of actress Uma Thurman during filming of Kill Bill , can be heard on the audio via Jezebel defending director Roman Polanski, who has stood accused of drugging and raping a 13 year-old girl since During the interview, Stern asked Tarantino, "How come Hollywood embraces this mad man, this director who raped a year-old?

It was statutory rape That's not rape
