Stern’s Debut On America’s Got Talent One Big Joke
Howard Stern is known for his explicit behavior on his radio show. When it was announced that he was going to be on “America’s Got Talent” many wondered if he would leave that behavior at home. Though not complete missing, his wild behavior was toned down a bit.
Upon Stern’s entrance into the America’s Got Talent studio in LA the crowd went wild with clapping and cheering for him.
Stern’s first night on the show proved to be quite notable. He was well-spoken, humorous, and friendly towards the others he was working with. He took his position seriously and provided solicitous feedback for the performers.
Everyone knew though that this tame side of Stern wouldn’t stick around for the entire show.
After the horrible performance of a half naked magician Stern went on to point of the man’s “small package.”
This got the crowd laughing and cheering once again for Stern.

Sue Johnston Falls Ill, Corrie Crew Forced To Do Re-Write
Actress Sue Johnston, slated to play Stella Price’s mother in the British television show Coronation Street, has taken ill.
Just a few days into shooting, Ms. Johnston became sick and unable to work.
No word on what illness has struck the Royle Family star or when she is expected to be recovered sufficiently to work, but production will be affected.
Crew admits this unfortunate incident will affect the schedule of the filming.
A source is quoted by the Sunday Mirror as saying: “It would be a lie to say this hasn’t caused a real problem. A significant amount of time was going to be dedicated to her introductory scenes. We had to completely change the filming schedule. And scenes that had been written had to be changed to allow for her absence.”
They will now have to reschedule shoots and shuffle around actors and the order in which many scenes were planned on being shot.
The crew will simply have to work around the ill star and wish her a speedy recovery in the meantime. Get well soon, Sue.
