Nadya ‘Octomom’ Suleman stopped by to promote an upcoming a ‘celebrity boxing’ match in New Jersey–an interview Howard has anticipated for years: “I’m fascinated by you.” Nadya said she was fascinated by Howard as well. Asked if she had ‘no life’, Nadya laughed: “I have too much life!” She added that she’d wanted a smaller family: “Like 6 kids total. Maybe one more.” Nadya said her fertility doctor still has a stockpile of embryos (“There’s still a lot there. Still.”) but she’s not planning another pregnancy: “I live from check to check. I have never been on welfare.” All the product offers she received in the initial rush of publicity proved to be empty: “Within two weeks, everything was rescinded…I started having panic attacks. It’s very hard, emotionally, to go to the grocery store.”

Jon Hein Meets the Fonz

Late in the show, Jon Hein told Howard about meeting Henry ‘The Fonz’ Winkler when he stopped by yesterday’s Wrap-Up Show, a big moment for the man who coined the phrase ‘Jump the Shark’ after an infamous Fonz stunt on Happy Days: “It was very surreal and I wasn’t sure how he was going to treat me–when we met–but I was thankful to him for doing what he did. Because it meant good things for me.” Howard honored the moment by playing a clip of Henry telling Jon that he appreciated the phrase, because any print mention of ‘Jump the Shark’ as a concept was usually illustrated with an image of The Fonz on the infamous water-skis: “And at that time, I had great legs.”
