Howard Stern brought his Jay Leno bashing to CBS’ “The Early Show” on Tuesday. And, as promised, the Sirius shock jock delivered.
Stern called Leno a “lapdog” and a “thief” who steals bits from him and David Letterman.
“Jay Leno pushed Johnny Carson out of ‘The Tonight Show,’” Stern told Harry Smith in an interview that was broadcast on both CBS and Sirius. “And he did it in a merciless way.”
Stern toned down the uncensored commentary for CBS, framing his loathing for Leno another way: “Just the mere mention of Jay Leno’s name makes me want to vomit.”
