His first independent show was presented in collaboration with the WWWW radio station. While the station remained stagnant, Stern’s work gained notoriety.

The host signed the contract and joined WNBC as the host of an afternoon segment. In August 1982, he began his tenure with WNBC and made his television debut on “Late Night with David Letterman.” Additionally, People magazine featured the host. Stern, however, had a falling out with the administration of WNBC, which ended in the termination of his contract in 1985. Stern then began performing live in clubs and at various other venues.
Additionally, he received a contract offer from Infinity Broadcasting to host the afternoon position on the company’s rock music station WXRK. Before 1986, the host appeared on a variety of television shows, including “The Late Show,” “Howard Stern’s Negligee & Underpants Party,” and “The Howard Stern Show.” Stern signed a deal with ‘Simon and Schuster’ in 1993 and published his first book, “Private Parts.” Similarly, Stern’s second novel, “Miss America,” was published in 1995.
