Top radio deejay Howard Stern had already defied naysayers with a well-received autobiography; naturally, for the big screen, only Stern could do justice to his own outsized identity as the man who honed a rules-flouting persona—which the movie would bolster in an R-rated comedic context. Aside from celebrity bits, Stern’s cronies are on hand, re-enacting their ride with the “King of All Media;” the cast also includes then-rising stars Paul Giamatti and Allison Janney.
