Richard Christy and Sal Governale are at it again. After Howard parodied podcaster Shannon Sharpe’s over-the-top introduction of comedian Katt Williams on his show recently, the Stern Show staffers took that audio to introduce a guest on their latest “Jack and Rod Show” phony phone call.

“Our first guest invented the atomic bomb alongside of Einstein and has sold out arenas, he built the Panama Canal, inventor of the light bulb, and he’s the inventor of the iPhone, and he cured cancer,” Howard’s announcer noted.

“I’m not even sure that you meant this to be me,” the dumbfounded guest admitted. “I think you’ve got the wrong person here — you must be looking for somebody else.”

Things only went south from there. “Our next is a 10-time Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest winner,” the announcer read.

“Wrong guy,” the agitated guest interrupted.

He eventually had enough. “I’m an author — didn’t go back in time and kill Hitler, didn’t build the Panama Canal, never won a hot dog eating contest,” he complained. “This is the most bizarre moment of my life — goodbye.”
