Howard’s wife gave birth to their first daughter on May 7, 1983 which was an exciting highlight in his life, Howard vowed to be the best dad he could be and give her a great life. Shortly after Randy Baungarten started working at WNBC. Robin said that those were the good years there at NBC because Randy understood the show, and was interested in letting the talent do the things that would let the talent be successful. Randy paired up Howard Stern and Imus in a TV commercial, because Imus and Howard pissed off a lot of people and they were going to have them apologize to the audience in the commercial. Imus and Howard didn’t have any lines in the commercial, they just stood there as Randy did his thing and apologized to the audience. Imus received a gold Rolex for appearing in that commercial. Howard said that he remembers doing the commercial and what a pain in the ass Imus was that day, nobody on the show liked Imus, Robin said he was a drunk, he was dirty insulting and had scabs all over his nose. Imus went to Howard’s boss and said to stop Robin from insulting him, however Imus used to insult Robin racially on air by calling her a negro and spearchucker! Howard said that he got Imus on the phone again and this wasn’t a bit they were doing, it was really him. Howard talked to Imus and asked him what he’s doing calling in. Imus said that the reason Howard had Robin there is because they have a new affirmative action program going on there. Howard mentioned something about Imus’ show and Imus hung up on him.
