After loosing his job in DC Howard moved to WNBC in New York, Howard said he had wanted to go to WPLJ but they wanted him to play music during the show, at night. He said he couldn’t do that and ended up taking the job at WNBC. Howard said that Fred and Robin were supposed to be hired to work with him but he took it as a handshake deal, and he didn’t know that they were going to screw him over, he said they later refused to hire Robin. Howard said he told Robin that he was going to get to New York and hire her somehow. Howard talked about how WNBC didn’t want him there from day one. He said that they didn’t even let him do his first show in the afternoons like he was supposed to. They told him to practice on overnights…. Howard said that management wasn’t even awake at that time so he decided to do some gargling before a song while trying to do the call letters the way that he was supposed to do them. Howard described what he was doing with the gargling and how it was supposed to sound like he was gargling his semen. A lot of people were upset by Howard’s joke and the whole gay character episode. Howard talked about how Al Rosenberg used to work for Imus but he was fired because Imus wanted to hire his girlfriend to work with him. He said that Imus was a real douche bag broadcaster back then and he said he’d love to have Al work on his show. He said that Al was doing the best radio of his career at the time and Imus actually asked him to do his characters on his show. He said it was great torture for Imus to have Al doing great stuff on his show and not on Imus’ show. Howard eventually got his way with the station and Robin returned to be on the air with Howard and Fred.
