Robin said that she almost didn’t get on the air because Howard got thrown off the air for doing a ”Virgin Mary Kong” bit that caused a lot of controversy. Fred talked about that bit and how he might have to take the blame, or credit, for that. He said that video games were really hot at the time so he figured that they could have Howard’s God character playing the game during his weather report. On October 18, 1982 Robin came back to the Stern Show and never left again. It was a nightmare for Robin to come there to NBC because they were trying to turn her into an NBC newswoman and that’s not what she does. Fred said that Robin already had her own delivery that they wanted to change. Howard said that they really did a number on her and wanted her to quit. Joe Piscopo was saying that he remembers hearing about Howard coming to NBC and working in the same building that they were doing Saturday Night Live in. He said that Howard asked him to come on the show and they had a great time going back and forth on the air that first day.
