On January 12, 1982 Robin hosted Howard’s first on air birthday show, Joan Jett called to tell him to lick her Pro-Keds and wish him a happy birthday while calling him a pencil necked geek, Howard got a kick out of that! Mayor Marion Barry also called to wish him a Happy Birthday, Howard tried to get him to come into the studio, however the Mayor stated he was very busy that morning. The birthday show has been tradition ever since.
