Siskel & Ebert on Howard Stern 1of2

[dante224real1]

the critics blank expressions are so much more powerful than the forced complements on howard's sickeningly unfunny banter. you could easily see roger's real take on it at 2:43. look how he has to fight himself in order to say "i liked it".

[gummoboy333]

id fuck robin all day

[WinstonSmith6079]

Heh, LOL! "Why can DeNiro do it but I can't?" Uhh, how about because DeNiro is a legend and an abundantly talented actor and you are are a jackoff stooge with no talent for anything...? Yeah, that's why! Dickhead!

Jesus, I've always hated Howard Stern! I never got his appeal (except that people are empty-headed and dumb, especially in the Politically "Correct" '90s), and am glad that the fad of him is now basically forgotten. I mean who even remembers Howard Stern LOLOLOLOL LMAO! hehehe

[chessinfantry]

@WinstonSmith6079 "LOLOLOLOL LMAO! hehehe"....your lame guy

[WinstonSmith6079]

@chessinfantry LOL and you're a polesmoker-guy LOL hehehe

[MassiveJungle]

was this seriously the standard of hip alternative comedy in 1990 or whenever this was aired?

[skittlesareyum48]

Howard Stern is complicated. He is very smart, but he is very nasty and must have some personal problems.

[TheBitchinbabs]

EBERT=UGLY

FANS=NERDS

[Dottiecurran]

Anyone who seeks this ugly fat rotten lush Roger Ebert's opinion on which movie to see is beyond a brain transplant. A failed screen play writer, her highpoint was "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls". Now ready for a horror movie and rtting from cancer, this drab style-less thing is about ready to kick the bucket but still seeks publicity kicking a dead actor

[kellygreen5556]

@Dottiecurran I wish Ebert would just drop dead already

[kovvvas]

@Dottiecurran Wow! Did Roger Ebert fucked your mother or something?

[Dottiecurran]

@kovvvas Wow, fucking is something you wouldn't know about, I guess

[kovvvas]

@Dottiecurran I'm sorry. I take my first comment back. I did some research and found out why you were so upset. I shall never mess with jackasses again.

[help4343]

@Dottiecurran

no channel available = sock puppet troll

[Dottiecurran]

@help4343 I don't want an idiot with a phoney account (you) to see it.

[buckleygeneration]

@Dottiecurran "Seeks publicity kicking a dead actor" is kind of a stretch for a number of reasons, the main one being that Dunn can hardly be called an actor. And the thing is, a whole lot of people have cared and will continue to care about Roger Ebert and his intelligent opinions, while people will soon forget Ryan Dunn ever existed. Ryan Dunn killed himself and someone else by driving drunk. Ebert called him on it. A little too soon? Maybe. Spot-on? Absolutely.

[NJpanther05]

stern is a dick

[fumetti]

They were discussing a parody Stern did of the movie Awakenings.

[NotNamedJones]

why can deniro do it and you can't? because he's robert fuckin'deniro, and your howard stern.

[Homer92]

I hate people in Hollywood who can't take any criticism.

[AreYouAfraidPL]

Stern is a dick!

[chessinfantry]

@AreYouAfraidPL yeah and ur a pussy...PUSSY!!! hahaha fuck u retard

[itchynyc]

whenever, they make guest appearances in anything they never make jokes.They always review.Which is funny.

[Fujikorific]

Wow, Howard Stern is a dick in this. LOL

[ltbraddock1]

After watching the second part of the interview first, I can see why roger and ebert began to pick stern apart.

[SickSilckMan]

Wow, Hoo-Hoo cannot handle criticism very well, can he?

[Gaur1983]

This isn't about a movie. Siskel and Ebert just watched a sketch offensively parodying Awakenings, called "A Waking Up",with Howard in the De Niro role.That segment is on youtube.This whole thing's a farce.

[burr1aj]

I would assume that they're talking about Private Parts?

[capnv1]

at 3:09 gene looks supper mad

[AgentGordonCole]

Robin is such an idiot

[txguy1980]

@AgentGordonCole I agree. She adds nothing to any discussion. She just laughs and agrees with whatever Howard says. I guess pride doesnt really suit her.

[krsfromprp]

@AgentGordonCole I can't stand Robin Quivers.

[GREENFOXFTW]

Howard Stern reminds me of Alice Cooper appearance wise!

[JenTak19]

What a dick

[NeverMind368]

Howard Stern fails......

[Ticalionstalion82]

Stern just lost a fan..dont be a dick to Siskel

[Mattyb667]

"Now lets hear from someone who was a Puliter prize winner." LOL

[thesatanic6]

wow howard is an idiot cant he shut up for 1 minute and let the critics do theyr jobs

[SURFUR]

"Why is Stern being so nasty to siskel??"

Dude, why do you think? Gene didn't like his movie. And while Gene loved "Private Parts," this is long before that. This is the award-winning student film Howard made. How do you think a filmmaker is going to take it when you tell them it was bad... and why?

When a critic piddles all over everything you poured your heart and soul into, you're gonna be wounded. It's hard to take it with a grain of salt.

--For Eugene Kal Siskel, Dane Youssef

[JapanAlex01]

howard stern is un-funny and annoying. always has been always will be.

[DominoRyder]

How come this is a review of Private Parts from 1997 but its in this weird pink set? Did Howard Stern have a talk show like this on TV or is this just how his radio show was on back in the day?

[gozone100]

the king of all media!

[ghostbustersfreak]

What is the context of this video? What did Siskel & Ebert watch of Howard Stern?

[amaxamon]

I'm not a Stern fan but he really shows up what pompous idiots film critics are.

[williamreinsch]

that howard guy is a dick!

[moldymoldy]

siskel didn't win the pulitzer prize :(

[Gyro911]

Howard tells it like it is and exposes there hypocrisy and elitism

[lawyerly]

"their"

[townsjim]

Why is Stern being so nasty to siskel?? He comes across really badly in this video

[j04370859]

He's nasty to everyone.

[MikeUntstinks]

He's not nasty, just being playfully hostile to Gene's thumbs down. Gene didn't like his movie and Howard was breaking his balls a bit, in good fun.

[townsjim]

There's playful, then there's just being rude. He crossed the line

[MikeUntstinks]

You are humorless.

Watch the whole thing again and you will see they are beating one another up in good fun. Siskel is smiling, there is no animosity. It made for a compelling interview. Stern doesn't always agree with judges and critics and it's funny to see them get criticized as well.

[townsjim]

Look, I have a good sense of humour, but sometimes when someone is just being downright insulting to someone it just isn't funny. And people don't always smile when they are having a good time. Sometimes people smile when they feel put upon and picked on. This is an awkward interview from start to finish, and ebert put stern in his place.

[MikeUntstinks]

eh I disagree, your sense of humor only hits a certain threshold and then you'd get all mad. Stern's a tough interviewer and he's breaking balls as much as both of the other guys are breaking his. Stern hasn't said anything that's truly out of line. If it was so bad, they wouldn't have gone onto Stern's show multiple times. The fact that both men are deflecting so well gives them added respect among fans.

[SparksDrinker]

@MikeUntstinks . what movie was it?

[thunderstruck665]

@townsjim: It's schtick.

[RoyNeary77]

@townsjim He's not being nasty. They were all good friends. They're just busting each other's b@%$. Siskel and Ebert went on the Howard stern show several times. They all liked each other.

[Foo3112]

@townsjim I guess you dont listen to Howard Stern. If someone was being critical about something you out effort into only to hear that the other person didnt enjoy it (but you thought it was amazing), u would probably get all defensive too.

[levanyzzuf]

@townsjim That's just Stern's style of comedy. He went pretty soft on these guys compared to his usual antics.

[Wodanaz]

@levanyzzuf Stern actually likes them obviously, they have met up a lot of times too. I like Siskel completely Stern often, especially considering that he usually fluffs and had a brain tumor.

[petercharleskrug]

@townsjim In other words it's Howard Stern being himself.

[CptForrestGump]

private parts (1997), a film which stern starred in and based on his book i believe.

[JAldridge86]

@CptForrestGump No, the both loved "Private Parts."  This is from his Channel 9 show in 1991-92 I believe.

[Quinibus]

if you want to see what they're responding to, look up "Howard Stern 'A Waking Up'"

[GoddessPictures]

Probably, Private Parts.

[PeterZeeke]

what are they talking about?

[JRTET21]

yeah seiously wtf?

[tnt420tnt]

what are to classy guys doing with that peace of shit

[harry911tk]

tccccccccccccccccccc

[BloodPump]

Hah, its great watching these guys debate. They're all great.

[Zeeboe]

Do you think Howard Stern has a big penis?

[nowhereman012]

probably not, he's jewish. They tend to have small penises.

[Zeeboe]

Ha, you look at a lot of jew dicks? j/k lol. But I bet Howard does have a big bush.

[davidkolo]

tell that to my penis

[ggweb1919]

They destroyed that pompus moron Stern.

[LoudCitizen]

What movie are they talking about?

[SURFUR]

@LoudCitizen Howard Stern's award-winning student film.

[connaught2008]

@LoudCitizen they takin about a piece of shit movie called ryder p.i.

[burr1aj]

@LoudCitizen They're talking about Private Parts, Howard Stern's movie.

[OriginalMishima]

@burr1aj no, they're talking about a short film howard and staff had them watch just before this conversation.

[RoyNeary77]

@LoudCitizen They're talking about a short film Stern made that was a parody of the 1990 movie "Awakenings". "Private Parts" wouldn't come out for another six years.

[JJJ10JJJ]

@LoudCitizen theyre talking about 'Private Parts;' howard sterns autobiographical movie about his life. thats why he's offended by siskel's negative reaction to it.

[fumetti]

@JJJ10JJJ No, the movie came out way after his TV show went off the air.

[kidaaa0]

@fumetti it did not asswipe

[fumetti]

@kidaaa0 the TV show was on WWOR in the the early 1990s. The movie came out in 1998, fuckface.

[Gilch30]

@fumetti It came out in 1997 you piece of shit idiot

[fumetti]

@Gilch30 this was the channel 9 version of the show, retard....it came out in the early, not late 1990s.

[Gilch30]

@fumetti I am not disputing that you fucking idiot. I know that is not the movie they are talking about. You said that Private Parts came out in 1998. It was 1997 you dipshit

[fumetti]

@Gilch30 douchebag, I was off by a year and I am a "dipshit." LOL...if I said 1986 or 1975 I would be a dipshit. That is like saying Gone with the Wind came out in 1938 when it should be 1939...asshole. lol

[Gilch30]

@fumetti If you are going to call people "fuckface" or "retard" on Youtube, I would suggest you know what you are talking about. If you don't know shit about movies, then keep your fat mouth shut
