In the early 1980s, after Steven Spielberg bought one of the surviving Rosebuds for $50,000 at a Hollywood memorabilia auction, some reporter thought it would be a good idea to get a quote from Orson Welles about how honored he felt about his work being so valued by so significant a director.  Welles didn't play…

There won't be a my eye in the house!

It's theater of the mind!

And Oreo kills Hydrox.

It was funnier the first time, when you were stage-crashing REM's MTV Video Award.

Bill Cosby is also good except for the rape-y bits.

Cannery dies.

You look MOV-elous!

"What watch?"
"Ten watch."
"Such much?"
"You will do beautifully in America."

The formless nature of Stern's career makes it difficult to draw the kind of one-on-one comparison you're asking for.  "All media" kingdom aside, Stern's non-radio projects have been sporadically affable at best.  His significance is entirely wrapped up in his radio show, which isn't easily broken…

The conspiracy grows… also born the same year as Bearer and Chavez?  Howard Stern!

Those movies were/will be pieces of shit!

No, no, ED, I'm right there with you— Howard Stern's skill, appeal and influence are fundamentally based on throwing bologna on bimbos' asses.  I also realize that Woody Allen's career is all about dressing in a sperm costume, Steve Martin is Mr. Arrow Head, and George Carlin escorted teen burnouts through time.

Chris Rock has said publicly that if Stern followed his career path— spending a year devising one hour of stage material instead of doing 100-150 hours of radio— "he'd be the greatest standup who ever lived and it wouldn't be close."

Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song, every rose has its thorn.

Hey, now…

You're not slim… you're sleek and aerodynamic.

It was the early days of the music business and there had only been 9 albums to that point.

if Chubby Checker didn't want this to happen, he never should have released a Top Ten single called "The Fly."

Why merely suggest, when you can inundate?
