One of them was a musician, but mainly he was a comedic actor, and he said we should do some comedy songs, and I thought, “Sure, why not?” We did a couple of comedy songs and a couple of videos as a duo and put them on the Internet, and they got way more interest than anything I had done in serious music… I moved to LA about 6 years ago and randomly had some friends out here.

Stern hasn’t always been so sanguine about criticism from his former staff. Howard doesn’t even go downstairs and offer Scott his condolences,” John “Stuttering John” Melendez, a former “Tonight Show” announcer who worked with Stern from 1988 to 2004, told The Post. In an exposé by The Post, former longtime show hands unloaded on the shock jock, accusing him of being a cruel penny-pincher who, among others things, forced his longtime show engineer Scott Salem to beg for money on a GoFundMe to pay for medical bills as his wife died of cancer. “You don’t like me, you don’t wanna work for me. I couldn’t give a f–k what people think about me,” he continued. “I swear to you, I don’t spend a minute worrying about it. “The New York Post wrote an article that I’m a scumbag,” Stern said Tuesday, scoffing at the piece.
