What's happening in the Elaine Bosler bumper?
Potseed
Ever hear that semi-confusing bumper that's sometimes played on the
show right before or after the commercials? It has Howard and just
about everybody else on the show at some social event
with Howard on a megaphone yelling at Elaine Bosler and asking her why
she won't do his show. Suddenly a guy comes up to the gang and gets
in a fight or something, possibly with Gary, I dunno. I think this
clip is over 10 years old and since I haven't listened that long (just
since '96), I don't know what's really happening because all it sounds
like is a fist fight with Robin yelling. Can anybody clarify what
event they were at and what exactly happened during the skirmish?

not exactly but..it was the Grammy's or something like that and Howard was in
his megaphone phase and he was asking Boosler why she wouldn't speak to him, so
Booslers boyfriend had words with Howard and swung at him but Faa Faa Floohey
took the punch for Howard..
or something like that

The woman on the phone call at the end of this bumper doesn't sound
like Elayne Boozler to me, although it's set up to make it seem as if it's
her. *Is* it really her?
I love how Howard says 'have a seat, man,' knowing that some very
interesting radio is bound to happen (and trying to take control of the
situation while also appealing to the boyfriend's ego (too bad the dude
didn't take the bait - now *that* would have been hysterical, the
boyfriend heading over to beat up the bad guy but then joining their
'team!')
Did he ever play that for Jerry Seinfeld? He used to date her, didn't he?

Thanks on both counts, AG. I always mix up those two ('the bad date'
comics). Now can you explain why no mention was made on the MTV broadcast
of one of Howard's heroes (musically, certainly not in a litigation sense
; ), Sir Paul McCartney? (I couldn't believe he was interviewing the two
models while Paul was on stage. No one even commented - very strange).
