Melissa Gilbert on Howard Stern Show
Chuck Edson
Melissa Gilbert (wife of Bruce Boxleitner, as I'm sure most people
here know) was on the Howard Stern show earlier this week to
promote an after-school special that she directed.
Before she even got around to mentioning her show, Stern steered
the question around to her husband, and said (I'm paraphrasing here):
"He's the captain on the best show on television, Babylon 5.
It has a continuing storyline, great makeup, and cool effects.
Star Trek could really learn a few lessons from Babylon 5. And
actually, I think they are."
He really seems enthusiastic about the show. This is only the most
recent time I've heard him go on about it. He mentioned that he tapes
the show, and asked Melissa if she could arrange for him to visit the
set when he's in LA.
At least the B5 got some free publicity on a show with millions of
listeners. And Melissa also mentioned that she was going to be in
the next two episodes, although she didn't give any details about the
story or her role.

for the cast and crew's sake i hope that howard stern is different
than his public persona. for you non-us readers, howard stern is
a radio shock jock who tends to border on rude and juvenile humor.
sometimes he's amusing to listen to, but his lack of empathy for
others would probably be pretty grinding for anyone who cares about
what they create.

IIRC jms said that Howard won't let any of the B5 cast members on
the show because then he'd have to abuse them :-) Howard is really a
fan to the best of my knowledge. He actually says nice stuff about
the show, which is not something he does easily :-)

"border on"? I think you are being much to kind. My friends and I
have done some things that could be considered juvenile (and have
almost gotten arrested for same) but Stern would make us look like
mature, responsible adults.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't Bill Mumy appeared on Howard Stern's
show? I'm pretty sure he has...

You recall incorrectly.
I'll never forget the interview he did with Billy Mumy.
45 minutes of nonstop Dr. Smith pedophile jokes.
The sorely missed Billy West (voices of Ren and Stimpy) got so into
it, Mumy could barely get a word in edgewise.
One memorable anecdote from Mumy was that when "Lost in Space" and
"Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea" were both in production, they at
least once had a guy in bad monster costume walk from one set to the
other, spray painting and glueing things onto him along the way, so
that he could appear on an episode of the other show which was taping
at the same time. : )

I have no proof, but I believe that most of his on-air self
is fake. I've heard celebrity interviews where people say
that he's the nicest guy, and so on, and I don't think his
attitude would play well with the suits he has to deal with.
Plus, you occasionally catch a hint that it's all an act.
Once, he said something like "That's not a zero, that's worse
than zero. What's lower than zero? Are there minus numbers?"
You can't be a radio engineer for years without at least
knowing that negative numbers exist. With Howard, I get the
impression that he finally twigged that nice guys finish
last, and chose adaptation over the traditional alternative.

He has made several comments over the last few years about sci-fi shows
that he though were stupid. He has spoken very few times about B5 and
he has never trashed it to my knowledge.

I heard that interview on the radio and Billy West was doing an excellent
and very funny imitation of a lecherous Dr. Smith. Howard saw that this
was funny stuff and encouraged it. That's his job. Also Bill Mumy is a
friend of Howard's competitors in the Los Angeles market, Mark and Brian,
thus making it easy for Howard to jump on him. One last note about
this interview: it was not about B5, it was Bill Mumy doing a promo for
the Christmas song he wrote a couple of years ago. Thus Howard could
avoid B5 with impunity, since I agree he is a fan of the show.
On another note on this thread. I saw an interview that Howard did with
Melissa Gilbert a couple of years ago, right after she and Bruce had
broken up. He was his usual lecherous self and was crude and offensive,
but he seemed to show her more respect than he usually does his female
guests. Also she seemed to handle him fairly easily. He insulted Bruce
a couple of times with the intent (obviously) of riling her up. She did
not
take the bait. Even with this lead-in, though, Howard avoided criticizing
B5. If you know Howard at all, that is remarkable restraint on his part.
One last note about this. There is no way that Claudia would ever get
on his show. She would work him over like a piece of meat, which he
probably is aware of. Even with his affinity for lesbians (Ivanova, not
Claudia!), he is not going to let her make him look bad. Never happen.
I don't know about Pat, but probably the same for her.

Don't be silly; this is OLD news. They got married, changed their minds,
divorced, played the field for a while, changed their minds *again*, got
married again, had a kid, etc. (They might actually make it, this time
around, since they're a bit more grown up than during the last try.)
These are *HOLLYWOOD* people you're discussing, here. If they're still
married in 20-30 years, *then* they're actually married. But for anything
much under ten years in Jolly Weird, being "married" just basically means
"We're living together until one of us gets excited over someone else."
In a town full of hot-bodied bimbos on the make, being an employed actor
who's just been divorced is not precisely a case of "Heartbreak City."
....And if you're looking for anything even slightly more long-lasting
than a "Hollywood Marriage," what the *heck* are you doing getting
involved with *actresses*? Most of them don't even start to have any
idea who they are until they hit their late thirties.....

No, dear. Not any more. About six months after the breakup, Bruce realized
he couldn't live without Melissa and proposed to her. They're married now
and have a little boy. They seem quite happy together. And for the record,
I believe it was Bruce who originally broke things off (wasn't ready for
a commitment at the time). Melissa was quite broken up about it and talked
about it in an interview with TV Guide. That was just about the time he
started doing B5.

Oh my...hadn't heard about it, really?
My wife Julie happened to read an interview with Melissa Gilbert about that
time - she thinks it was in Parade, probably in 1994. (Neither of us
were B5 fans at the time.) She paraphrases the article as something like
this:
(Melissa) Well, Bruce and I have just ended our relationship recently. It's
really not that bad, and we're still...really...good *FRIENDS*!!!!!
(reporter) At this point, Ms. Gilbert breaks down and cries for about five
minutes. She eventually regained her composure...
(Melissa) I'm sorry, I'm better now. So, you were asking?
[interview goes along fine for a bit, then...]
(Melissa) So my next plans on TV were to get together with Bru...
(reporter) Ms. Gilbert once again begins crying uncontrollably...
According to Julie, the *whole interview* went on like this, with Melissa
breaking down and crying every few minutes. She said it was just awful.
Not that we don't find it amusing in retrospect:
Anna Sheridan opens the door to John's quarters.
"Hello. You must be Delenn.
I'm Anna Sheridan - John's wife..
And we're still...really...good...*FRIENDS*!!!!!"

You know, it's a good thing they got back together, otherwise BB would be #2
on my still-to-be-filled "Top Ten Heels Of The Decade List."
"Who is #1?" That would be telling. B-)=
Seriously, it's Kenneth Branaugh, of _Henry V_ and _Much Ado About Nothing_
fame. If I were married to Emma Thompson, I wouldn't be jumping the fence
without written permission.
But I digress.

While Howard *has* mentioned the show in the past. (and he may have this
week, as I've not been able to listen) I know that he was *incredibly*
pissed over the fact that Cousin Brucie (another DJ) was given a cameo in
"War Without End". Up to that point, Howard was mentioning the show on a
weekly basis, talking about how it was much better than ST. After WWE,
and a brief tirade over the use of Cousin Brucie, he stopped mentioning B5
completely. This indicates to me that while Howard was pissed off over
the cameo, he has enough respect and enjoyment for the show *not* to call
for a boycott. I was afraid he might. But I have a hard time believing
that he suddenly had a change of heart and decided to start mentioning B5
again. Don't get me wrong, if he has, then I'll be really happy, as he
used to spend approx. 15 minutes to half an hour praising the show each
week, and I have no doubt that this got a *lot* of people interested, and
tuning in.

I don't see what the problem is. He could probably have a cameo as
easily as cousin brucie got one. All he needs to do is ask I'll
betcha.
There's even a part that obviously suggests itself.

I think one of the reasons HS didn't mention B5 after the Cousin
Brucie appearence is because that was the last new episode for four
months or so. He has started talking about it again recently. He also
always states that he has no idea when the show is on, and that he
tapes it, which leads me to believe that someone records it for him.
So if he doesn't see the show for a couple of months, he probably kind
of forgets about it.
He has been nothing but complimentary in the past to B5, and I hope
that his constant praise means that a few new viewers check it out.

Howard doesn't like seeing his rivals getting exposure, especially when he
considers them talentless. He probably took it as a slap in the face.
However, I know Howard reads (and possibly participates in) a listserve
that I'm on. I'm planning on starting up a thread regarding this.
Unfortunately, the way Howard asks for things is on his show, it would be
up to JMS or someone else involved in production to make an overture.
