They tiptoed around it using vague language, leaving most of us speculating divorce because of some of Howard's comments.' 'All Howard wanted to hear about was how miserable Scott's life was, knowing exactly what was going on. 'The Stern crew suddenly reintroduced us to Scott last summer, after years of absence from the show,' Benjamen wrote. On Radio Gunk, a regular listener named Benjamen took things a step further, saying that Salem - mocked for decades on the show for his bad luck - became grist for Stern's mill because of the tragic circumstances he faced at home. 'At the very least I would throw my weight around with Sirius executives and have the company pay the medical bills in full.' I would offer to pay for his wife's medical bills as a thank you for his years of service to help me put on a great radio show,' a Reddit user under the handle RelentlessGrind wrote.
'If I had a tenth of money and an employee of mine who worked for me for as long as Scott. The reception was equally as chilly amid a number of fan forums such as Radio Gunk and Reddit, where many users seemed aghast at Stern's lack of response or outreach to the heartbreaking situation. They were snapped at a December 2017 fundraising gala Red carpet walk: Stern and his wife Beth have focused their philanthropic efforts toward the North Shore Animal League in recent years. Referencing Stern and wife Beth's well-publicized fostering of kittens, Opie added, 'Howard cares way more about cats than people.' Opie said he was compelled to donate as well as tweet a link for Salem's campaign to his sizable Twitter audience of 357,000 followers. 'Last week they mocked him MERCILESSLY and the whole staff was laughing, knowing fully well his wife was so ill, it made us sick!' he said. but I hear Scott went in for a raise this has been going on for some time, and he did not get one,' Opie told, citing sources who still work at the satellite radio behemoth. 'Not only has he done nothing to help him as of yet, nor mention on the show, which would bring in tons of money. 'Scott has been there for you since day one, he was a soldier of yours - be there for him!'īig heart: Former Stern Show star Artie Lange confirmed he's 'helped a bit' and is 'committed to more' to help Salem, calling Scott 'a great guy' and his wife 'one of the sweetest souls I’ve ever met'Īlso critical of Stern was radio personality Gregg 'Opie' Hughes, a one-time radio rival of Stern who hosted a show at SiriusXM for nearly 10 years until leaving the company in 2017. And Howard, really, you should be ashamed of yourself. Melendez, who appeared on Stern's show for 14 years, continued, 'It's so sad that Scott Salem - a fixture on the show - that he has to go out and ask people for money is just a travesty. how many millions do you need, Howard? At this point, how many billions do you need? You got three f***ing mansions!' 'Howard, come on man, this is ridiculous - how has Scott, a man who's worked for you for 30 years, set up a Go Fund Me campaign?' said Melendez, who left Stern in 2004 to work on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Melendez called it 'pathetic' that Stern 'didn't help' Salem in a podcast Tuesday. 'I mean, Scott the Engineer, the guy's been there for 50 years.'
'I heard a story where Scott the Engineer went up to Howard and approached him, and Howard told him, "You know you're not allowed to talk to me,"' Melendez said on The Stuttering John Podcast, citing multiple sources who continue to work alongside Stern and Salem on the radio show. One reason could be a lack of communication, former Stern Show personality 'Stuttering' John Melendez said, relaying an anecdote illustrating how Stern has kept his staff at an arm's length in recent years - including Salem, whose work alongside the King of All Media dates back to 1986. ( has reached out to both Stern and Salem for comment on this story, but has not heard back as of Tuesday evening.) Though it was not immediately clear if the Private Parts star had donated to the cause, numerous sources said that Stern - who made $90 million last year to claim the seventh spot on Forbes highest-paid celebrities list - had not contributed. Amid the warm sentiment, some wondered why Howard, 64, had stayed silent on Salem's fundraiser both on social media or his SiriusXM program Monday or Tuesday.
