Ben Stern / Died

Early life and education. Howard Allan Stern was born on January 12, 1954, the second child of Ben (1923–2022) and Ray (née Schiffman) Stern (b. 1927), in the Jackson Heights neighborhood of Queens in New York City. Stern's parents are Jewish, and their families are from Poland and Austria-Hungary.

Although Mr. Stern had no education and no trade, he had “ten fingers,” he remarked, as well as the will “to go forward.” He worked as a carpenter before opening his chain of laundromats. Only when his first child was born, Mr. Stern said, did he begin to free himself from the past.

K. C. Armstrong

In a 2005 interview, Armstrong revealed that he had been fired from the show by WXRK general manager Tom Chiusano for lapsing back into drug use after spending time in rehab. Armstrong was needled by Stern for his good looks and athletic body.

His arrest for cocaine possession during the second season led to his departure and subsequent rehabilitation. In 1997, Norm Macdonald chose Lange to co-star in his comedy film Dirty Work (1998), which secured Lange further acting roles, including a role on Macdonald's sitcom The Norm Show.

Departure from the show

At the 2019 Christmas party, Scott's new girlfriend attempted to record some of Stern's remarks, leading to a confrontation with Marci Turk. Scott was subsequently let go a few weeks later, marking the end of his 33-year career with Stern.
