Howard Stern

Howard Stern is, to me, the most misunderstood interviewer in American media. The shock-jock reputation was earned, but it always obscured the deeper skill: an almost surgical ability to get famous, guarded people to tell the truth. His satellite-radio-era conversations are masterclasses in patience and curiosity, and plenty of celebrities have given him their most honest hours on his show. I am equally fascinated by his self-reinvention — the man who built an empire on provocation later interrogated that very persona on the air, openly and at length. Whatever you think of the early years, his longevity at the top of radio is no accident; it is craft.
