Howard Stern responded to the controversy over a clip from a 1993 television special where he appeared in blackface and made racist remarks. The sketch was part of a New Year’s Eve special where Stern and his co-host Robin Quivers were making fun of Ted Danson who appeared at a Friar’s Club Roast for his girlfriend at the time, Whoopi Goldberg in blackface. “The sh*t I did was f***ing crazy,” Stern said on his SiriusXM radio show. “I’ll be the first to admit. I won’t go back and watch those old shows; it’s like, who is that guy? But that was my shtick, that’s what I did and I own it.” Stern also added that if he had to do it over again he wouldn’t have worn blackface.
