Neither Whoopi nor Geraldo can fill the shoes of Howard Stern
Posted by Dominic Basulto
As Howard Stern prepares to make the move to Sirius Satellite Radio in 2006, Infinity Radio has been scrambling to find a replacement. Or, as the case may be, replacements. The latest word, according to Crain's New York, is that Infinity Radio will use "five or six people" to fill in for Howard Stern. In the process, Infinity passed on a number of other high-profile entertainment personalities:
"[The head of Infinity Radio] said his team began brainstorming Stern’s replacements starting back in December and that “we went to a lot of people from Jon Stewart to Whoopi Goldberg to Geraldo Rivera… but we decided not to try to replace Howard with one person and try to hit a grand slam..." CEO Joel Hollander declined to name the talent signed but said that some of the media reports were accurate and some were not. Adam Carolla, David Lee Roth, Erich “Mancow” Muller, Danny Bonaduce and Jonathon Brandmeier have all been floated as potential replacements."

Have you seen this before? It's a number guessing game: http://www.amblesideprimary.com/ambleweb/mentalmaths/guessthenumber.html. I guessed 70815, and it got it right! Pretty neat.
