The famous celebrity Howard Allan Stern was born on Jan. 12, 1954, in Jackson Heights, New York. His first radio knowledge was at Boston University, where he volunteered at the college radio station. All along with more than a few other students, he created an on-air show called the King Schmaltz Bagel Hour, a takeoff on the popular King Biscuit Flour Hour. Forecasting his fondness for disagreement, the show was canceled after its first broadcast, which included the funny side sketch "Name That Sin," a game show where contestants confessed their worst sins. Stern graduated in 1976 with a 3.8 grade-point average and a bachelor's degree in transportation. Throughout his first paying radio gig, at an undermanned 3,000-watt station in Briarcliff Manor, New York, "It dawned on me that I would never make it as a straight deejay," Stern told James S. Kunen in an interview for People (10/22/84), "so I started to mess around. It was unheard-of to mix talking on the phone with playing music. It was outrageous, It was blasphemy."
