I'm not 100% on this, but I'm pretty sure that the image posted in Sour Shoes' section isn't real. I was on Howardstern.com and there was a picture posted today (May, 17, 2007) that is attributed to Sour Shoes... Can I remove this link? 1337wesm 00:06, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
I know this is going on two years old, but I went back and checked out the image just for kicks. The image posted is most definitely Sour Shoes.
The Captain Catfucker entry is ridiculous. Who ever heard of him? What did he do, call in once or twice? I'd delete it but I'm not sure if that violates the rules.
I moved the contests content to its own section, it didn't seem to flow in the middle of the intro. I'd suggest we find ways to shorten this. Any former members we could take out, due to relative notability? Or within any member maybe remove some minor details about things they did on certain shows? -- Bill.matthews 02:35, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
I think that each member should have his or her own section. The article has become way to long and I think that there is much room for expansion for each member as the show progresses. It would probably be best if there is a quick summery of each member and a link to a full article about him or her. -- Chris 21:27, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
I understand that the purpose of wikipedia is simply to provide accurate non biased information, but do any of you feel the slightest bit of shame for helping to perpetuate indignity among human beings? I will not edit this article but I will say that there are some things in life that one can not be on the fence about. Exploiting people with various diseases and or disorders is a dispicable thing. Should Howard Stern be removed from the airwaves? Absolutely not, this is America and he has the right to say whatever he wishes. Even things that are uncomfortable. I simply felt the need to voice my dis satisfaction with an article that documents the people that are exploited. It doesn't appear to be in the public interest nor for the common social good. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Marsh25 ( talk • contribs) 21:03 8 February, 2007
We shouldn't document the Wack Pack, but you have no problem with documenting mass murders and articles on rapists, or anything that isn't particularly savory (in your opinion)? Your comments are completely off-topic and have nothing to do with the use of Wikipedia, and essentially amount to suggesting censorship based on things that YOU don't like. 1337wesm 00:08, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
The article should remain because it discusses a well known group of people. It should be cleaned up and footnotes should exist but as a huge fan of The Howard Stern show, my opinion is that it is pretty accurate. The Howard Stern Show is controversial but the show does make stars out of stutterers, dwarfs, transvestites, maniacs, and truly grotesque people. Marsh25, I highly doubt that you actually care about the former mentioned. However, that anything exist on Wikipedia is irrelevant because it will always be composed by many and will never be 100% accurate. Wikipedia is a reference to lots of other mediums of knowledge. 75.22.37.184 ( talk) 05:45, 29 May 2008 (UTC)May 28, 2008.
The Howard Stern show is daily broadcast to millions of listeners, and each day there are hundreds of new people that tune in to Howard Stern who have never heard his show before. These hundreds of new listeners regularly hear references to members of 'The Wack Pack', that they wish to research more about so they can be informed. As with anything in the world that people want to research about so they can be informed, more and more people are turning to Wikipedia. That's what makes Wikipedia such a great resource, is that people take time out of their day to upload information for those who seek it. While taking down an article about information on a show you find silly and immoral may make you sleep better at night, it prevents all these people who are looking for information from finding it, thus weakening Wikipedia's status as a site where you can find virtually any information you are looking for that has encyclopedic merit. Bottom line, if the Wack Pack with millions of "fans" deserves to be taken off of Wikipedia, then every last one of these Youtube celebrities with only thousands of "fans" deserve to be taken off as well. When you start picking and choosing which articles should stay based on your own personal wishes, that is where true bias happens. Supia ( talk) 19:04, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
I think Boots is pathetic just like everybody else, however their is no need pointing out he'll be dead in a few months. Tofilmfan 09:31, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
Frequent callers and wanna-bes should definitely not be on the whack pack list (Joey Boots, Double A, Zolar, Bobo, etc.).
At the same time, Riley Martin should be on the list.
Also, should it not be "Whack" pack?— Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.89.58.125 ( talk) 07:06, 25 April 2007
I am removing the sentence that says the following: "This is widely accepted as a phony stunt to get air time as his character/act was getting very old." There is no wide acceptance, unless someone can provide such independent research. Artie believes that, but pretty much everyone on the show accepts Joey's orientation, especially after the porn star incident. Regardless, such statements either way are editorializing, potentially misleading, and don't belong.

There's no entry for Wood Yee. I think he would be considered a member of the Wack Pack, but I don't remember enough about him to write an article. However, he should be added IMO. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.147.144.242 ( talk) 22:45, 11 May 2007 (UTC).
Update: Wood Yee worked with the Howard Stern crew at KRock. He did not ever work at Sirius (except perhaps on a contract basis). He was recently downsized from KRock, as reported and discussed on the Howard Stern Show during the week beginning November 10, 2008. According to Scott the Engineer, Wood Yee was provided a package as part of his dismissal, but that is likely little solice for Wood Yee, who was only a couple of years away from retirement. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 169.145.3.21 ( talk) 19:37, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
I have made several changes concerning the Eric the Midget entry, relating his sexual ambiguity (turning down advances from Tabitha Stevens) to his placing third on the all time midget list.
Both comments were succinct, and relevant. Anyone who knows the show can appreciate these references.
Both comments were subsequently edited out. I am wondering why these comments were deleted. If there is rationale from the person deleting the entry, I would appreciate knowing why.

Sal and Richard were unlikely ever considered Wack Packers. Even people like Captain Janks aren't referred to as wack packers.

I've been removing the Irish John additions as vandalism, as has another user. Now User:A2-computist is inserting the Irish John addition, claiming it is vandalism to remove it. Obviously we are in a vicious circle here!
I do not think Irish John is a wack packer. But let's face it: this article is a wreck anyway. I'd ask for a reference that cites Irish John as a wack packer, but that strikes me as incredibly silly and probably more than half of this article is not backed up by reliable sources anyhow.
That said, I guess I'm just noting this here for posterity, or for the person that may want to come along and clean this mess of an article up. daveh4h 06:19, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
He is not a wackpacker. It is John himself editing himself back on everyday from different IP addresses. If there is someone else adding besides John, you in fact are vandalizing the page as well. The page was protected for a couple of weeks for the vandalism. —Preceding

An WP:RFC has been filed to get more comments about this. Here are my comments:
The addition of Irish John to the article does not include citations; therefore, I feel it reasonable to remove them, since it is being challenged. Furthermore, I have reason to believe that an IP range that is adding this material is used by Irish John—I do not know if this is relevant or not, but I figured that information may shed some light on this. here is one IP that obsessively adds the material. Others can be found in the history tab. daveh4h 20:44, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
I can not believe how serious this is being taken..But I will continue to validate what I believe as a long time listener and express this in a non vandalizing manner...I encourage others to do so and not get caught up in such an elitest cencorship portrayed by some.

The article presently reads:
Joe Cancer's passing was confirmed on the air before the Stern show moved to Sirius.[citation needed]
The last live (non-replay) appearance of Joe was on 4-23-03 as logged by Mark's Friggin. He stated that his cancer was back, and he had already outlived the expectancy of his doctors. Based on that and his disappearance from the show, it would appear that he is deceased. However, Mark's is very thorough and does not document the above statement.

Why is Captain Janks (Thomas Cipriano) not considered a former member of the Wack Pack? He made many appearances on
The Howard Stern Show contributing recordings of his irreverent brand of interruptions to various serious broadcasts. A
good article about him was deleted. IMO, a future student doing sociology research should have access to that information in Wikipedia.

I would agree that he should be included here, as well as have his own article. I know Tom personally, and whilst he is a complete horse's ass, he is arguably the most legendary prank caller in history. The Jerky Boys have a page. ( And Johnny and Kamal each have their own respective page.) Tom's prank calls supercede The (very funny) Jerky Boys on many levels. Janks has pranked almost every major newscaster in the U.S. He has managed to get himself on the air during some of the nation's biggest breaking news stories. His ability to bypass network security, and pose as legitimate spokespersons is legendary.

I don't see the inclusion (under "Former" members) of Crackhead Bob, and don't have enough of an established account to add him. Here's what I would suggest putting:
Born August 29, 1959, Crackhead Bob was a regular guest on The Howard Stern Show (site Dates here). He is a recovering crack cocaine addict who is paralyzed on his right side due to drug induced strokes. As a result, he had a tremendous speech impediment and was used on many prank phone calls. He also "impersonated" Kirk Douglas on a bit that Richard and Sal did as a fake radio show. Unfortunate as it is Crackhead Bob has passed....
The section on Dr. Remulak is flawed. He frequently said many other things besides his name. He described how he came from the planet Remulak (or some other similar name) and would answer questions in really weird but interesting ways. Unfortunately, I'm not familiar enough with HS to be able to edit this article authoritatively myself. David spector ( talk) 00:08, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
Despite the somewhat gonzo nature of the Howard Stern Show and those who appear on it, we are a encyclopedia here and one of our basic policies requires reliable sourcing for any allegations in relation to living people, and this applies whether they set themselves up as targets of ridicule, unwittingly or otherwise. I've been watching this article for too long to consider that neutrality might be achievable, but at least any information, from our point of view, should be reliably sourced. It hasn't been, in my experience, and I suggest that Wikipedia is not here to provide a gratuitous freakshow. That's why I've protected this article until properly sourced encyclopedic content becomes the norm. Rodhull andemu 00:58, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi folks! I would like some clarification for citing from the MarksFriggin site. Is it fine to reference, say, the date of a particular event from the show? Like the debut of a Wack Packer or staff member? Although the site is run by a fan, doesn't it just summarise the events of each show as they happen? He doesn't put his own opinions in.

I am new to Wikipedia so perhaps I am missing something, but couldn't this article be better handled if the subjects are viewed as characters on a radio show rather than actual individuals? The wack pack is a machination of the show rather than a collective existing independently of it and therefore should be treated as characters. Individual wack packer pages could be BLP and require proper sourcing but the wack pack article should only reflect the personas exhibited on the show.

I guess somebody locked this and deleted all the content because there are no written sources on wack-packers (which is a preposterous notion if you can't "cite" "The Howard Stern Show," obviously.) Now it's skeletal and almost useless. I've never seen a clearer case of the Wikipedia hall-monitor squad (who have systematically murdered the grassroots involvement that launched Wikipedia[citation needed]) basically just killing a totally-valid article that would have been continually fact-checked and expanded via crowdsourcing--which used to be the fun of editing Wikipedia. There's info on Bigfoot because they happen to mention him in a Rolling Stone article? It's almost pathetic looking at this thing.
I used to write Wikipedia back in '06 when you could contribute information (many unsourced and correct facts I wrote were nicely grandfathered in and are still there.) Crowdsourced fact-checking can take care of accuracy issues on most articles pretty efficiently, due to the happy accident that people interested in and knowledgeable about topics tend to read those particular articles. As far as I could tell, this was the original engine of the phenomenon of Wikipedia, and why it now has articles that eclipse old-school encyclopedias.
It was a fine idea to add sources where applicable, but the other result was essentially murdering an article like this. There's no joy in adding things to Wikipedia anymore, obviously, and the rule-people have rendered it as dull and now static as any encyclopedia. In my opinion, editors disinterested in topics should not even read the pages, let alone destroy articles that contain accurate info. It's a really poor and impoverishing methodology essentially at war with what Wikipedia was. Even the appeal of Wikipedia was once "hey, there's a huge, detailed article on wack-packers."

Another Former Wack Pack member (still living) actor-comedian Jefferson Black (AKA Sonny Black) was the Wack Pack's original In-House Impressionist who lent a number of voices to Howard's show in 1981 on DC101 (in the Nation's Capitol) Howard had seen Jefferson (then 'Sonny') perform at the now defunct Garvin's Comedy Club and loved his voices, especially his Johnny Carson. In addition to Carson, Jefferson did Maxwell Smart, Ronald Reagan & various cartoon voices on the show. When Howard moved the show to NYC they fell out of touch.

I would like someone to edit the members on this page. Today, February 24th, 2015, Howard and his staff on the show went over and reviewed the list of Wack Packers. They took some people off that they deemed not to be Wack Packers that you guys still have listed on the page as members. One's that need to be removed per Howard Stern himself and his staff are:
Angry Black Ass Napkin Ed Bobo The Businessman Daniel Carver Denise Miller Evil Dave Letterman The Iron Sheik Hillbilly Jack Rushman Junior the Farter King of All Blacks Maryann from Brooklyn Roger Yucko the Clown Black

Just wanted to say I boldly cleaned up this article and redid the list format, per Stern's official list. I did this not only because an official list was created, but also because the old format was very crowded and didn't seem to flow as well as it could've. If anyone doesn't like the new format or has any suggestions and improvements, feel free to make changes. I am in the process of also searching for the "original" list of Wack Packers.

I'm not 100% on this, but I'm pretty sure that the image posted in Sour Shoes' section isn't real. I was on Howardstern.com and there was a picture posted today (May, 17, 2007) that is attributed to Sour Shoes... Can I remove this link? 1337wesm 00:06, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
I know this is going on two years old, but I went back and checked out the image just for kicks. The image posted is most definitely Sour Shoes.
The Captain Catfucker entry is ridiculous. Who ever heard of him? What did he do, call in once or twice? I'd delete it but I'm not sure if that violates the rules.
I moved the contests content to its own section, it didn't seem to flow in the middle of the intro. I'd suggest we find ways to shorten this. Any former members we could take out, due to relative notability? Or within any member maybe remove some minor details about things they did on certain shows? -- Bill.matthews 02:35, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
I think that each member should have his or her own section. The article has become way to long and I think that there is much room for expansion for each member as the show progresses. It would probably be best if there is a quick summery of each member and a link to a full article about him or her. -- Chris 21:27, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
I understand that the purpose of wikipedia is simply to provide accurate non biased information, but do any of you feel the slightest bit of shame for helping to perpetuate indignity among human beings? I will not edit this article but I will say that there are some things in life that one can not be on the fence about. Exploiting people with various diseases and or disorders is a dispicable thing. Should Howard Stern be removed from the airwaves? Absolutely not, this is America and he has the right to say whatever he wishes. Even things that are uncomfortable. I simply felt the need to voice my dis satisfaction with an article that documents the people that are exploited. It doesn't appear to be in the public interest nor for the common social good. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Marsh25 ( talk • contribs) 21:03 8 February, 2007
We shouldn't document the Wack Pack, but you have no problem with documenting mass murders and articles on rapists, or anything that isn't particularly savory (in your opinion)? Your comments are completely off-topic and have nothing to do with the use of Wikipedia, and essentially amount to suggesting censorship based on things that YOU don't like. 1337wesm 00:08, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
The article should remain because it discusses a well known group of people. It should be cleaned up and footnotes should exist but as a huge fan of The Howard Stern show, my opinion is that it is pretty accurate. The Howard Stern Show is controversial but the show does make stars out of stutterers, dwarfs, transvestites, maniacs, and truly grotesque people. Marsh25, I highly doubt that you actually care about the former mentioned. However, that anything exist on Wikipedia is irrelevant because it will always be composed by many and will never be 100% accurate. Wikipedia is a reference to lots of other mediums of knowledge. 75.22.37.184 ( talk) 05:45, 29 May 2008 (UTC)May 28, 2008.
The Howard Stern show is daily broadcast to millions of listeners, and each day there are hundreds of new people that tune in to Howard Stern who have never heard his show before. These hundreds of new listeners regularly hear references to members of 'The Wack Pack', that they wish to research more about so they can be informed. As with anything in the world that people want to research about so they can be informed, more and more people are turning to Wikipedia. That's what makes Wikipedia such a great resource, is that people take time out of their day to upload information for those who seek it. While taking down an article about information on a show you find silly and immoral may make you sleep better at night, it prevents all these people who are looking for information from finding it, thus weakening Wikipedia's status as a site where you can find virtually any information you are looking for that has encyclopedic merit. Bottom line, if the Wack Pack with millions of "fans" deserves to be taken off of Wikipedia, then every last one of these Youtube celebrities with only thousands of "fans" deserve to be taken off as well. When you start picking and choosing which articles should stay based on your own personal wishes, that is where true bias happens. Supia ( talk) 19:04, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Frequent callers and wanna-bes should definitely not be on the whack pack list (Joey Boots, Double A, Zolar, Bobo, etc.).
At the same time, Riley Martin should be on the list.
Also, should it not be "Whack" pack?— Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.89.58.125 ( talk) 07:06, 25 April 2007
I am removing the sentence that says the following: "This is widely accepted as a phony stunt to get air time as his character/act was getting very old." There is no wide acceptance, unless someone can provide such independent research. Artie believes that, but pretty much everyone on the show accepts Joey's orientation, especially after the porn star incident. Regardless, such statements either way are editorializing, potentially misleading, and don't belong.

There's no entry for Wood Yee. I think he would be considered a member of the Wack Pack, but I don't remember enough about him to write an article. However, he should be added IMO. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.147.144.242 ( talk) 22:45, 11 May 2007 (UTC).
Update: Wood Yee worked with the Howard Stern crew at KRock. He did not ever work at Sirius (except perhaps on a contract basis). He was recently downsized from KRock, as reported and discussed on the Howard Stern Show during the week beginning November 10, 2008. According to Scott the Engineer, Wood Yee was provided a package as part of his dismissal, but that is likely little solice for Wood Yee, who was only a couple of years away from retirement. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 169.145.3.21 ( talk) 19:37, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
I have made several changes concerning the Eric the Midget entry, relating his sexual ambiguity (turning down advances from Tabitha Stevens) to his placing third on the all time midget list.

I do not think Irish John is a wack packer. But let's face it: this article is a wreck anyway. I'd ask for a reference that cites Irish John as a wack packer, but that strikes me as incredibly silly and probably more than half of this article is not backed up by reliable sources anyhow.

An WP:RFC has been filed to get more comments about this. Here are my comments:
The addition of Irish John to the article does not include citations; therefore, I feel it reasonable to remove them, since it is being challenged. Furthermore, I have reason to believe that an IP range that is adding this material is used by Irish John—I do not know if this is relevant or not, but I figured that information may shed some light on this. here is one IP that obsessively adds the material. Others can be found in the history tab. daveh4h 20:44, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

The article presently reads:
Joe Cancer's passing was confirmed on the air before the Stern show moved to Sirius.[citation needed]
The last live (non-replay) appearance of Joe was on 4-23-03 as logged by Mark's Friggin. He stated that his cancer was back, and he had already outlived the expectancy of his doctors. Based on that and his disappearance from the show, it would appear that he is deceased. However, Mark's is very thorough and does not document the above statement.

I would agree that he should be included here, as well as have his own article. I know Tom personally, and whilst he is a complete horse's ass, he is arguably the most legendary prank caller in history. The Jerky Boys have a page. ( And Johnny and Kamal each have their own respective page.) Tom's prank calls supercede The (very funny) Jerky Boys on many levels. Janks has pranked almost every major newscaster in the U.S. He has managed to get himself on the air during some of the nation's biggest breaking news stories. His ability to bypass network security, and pose as legitimate spokespersons is legendary.

I don't see the inclusion (under "Former" members) of Crackhead Bob, and don't have enough of an established account to add him. Here's what I would suggest putting:
Born August 29, 1959, Crackhead Bob was a regular guest on The Howard Stern Show (site Dates here). He is a recovering crack cocaine addict who is paralyzed on his right side due to drug induced strokes. As a result, he had a tremendous speech impediment and was used on many prank phone calls. He also "impersonated" Kirk Douglas on a bit that Richard and Sal did as a fake radio show. Unfortunate as it is Crackhead Bob has passed....
The section on Dr. Remulak is flawed. He frequently said many other things besides his name. He described how he came from the planet Remulak (or some other similar name) and would answer questions in really weird but interesting ways. Unfortunately, I'm not familiar enough with HS to be able to edit this article authoritatively myself. David spector ( talk) 00:08, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
Despite the somewhat gonzo nature of the Howard Stern Show and those who appear on it, we are a encyclopedia here and one of our basic policies requires reliable sourcing for any allegations in relation to living people, and this applies whether they set themselves up as targets of ridicule, unwittingly or otherwise. I've been watching this article for too long to consider that neutrality might be achievable, but at least any information, from our point of view, should be reliably sourced. It hasn't been, in my experience, and I suggest that Wikipedia is not here to provide a gratuitous freakshow. That's why I've protected this article until properly sourced encyclopedic content becomes the norm. Rodhull andemu 00:58, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

I am new to Wikipedia so perhaps I am missing something, but couldn't this article be better handled if the subjects are viewed as characters on a radio show rather than actual individuals? The wack pack is a machination of the show rather than a collective existing independently of it and therefore should be treated as characters. Individual wack packer pages could be BLP and require proper sourcing but the wack pack article should only reflect the personas exhibited on the show.

I guess somebody locked this and deleted all the content because there are no written sources on wack-packers (which is a preposterous notion if you can't "cite" "The Howard Stern Show," obviously.) Now it's skeletal and almost useless. I've never seen a clearer case of the Wikipedia hall-monitor squad (who have systematically murdered the grassroots involvement that launched Wikipedia[citation needed]) basically just killing a totally-valid article that would have been continually fact-checked and expanded via crowdsourcing--which used to be the fun of editing Wikipedia. There's info on Bigfoot because they happen to mention him in a Rolling Stone article? It's almost pathetic looking at this thing.
I used to write Wikipedia back in '06 when you could contribute information (many unsourced and correct facts I wrote were nicely grandfathered in and are still there.) Crowdsourced fact-checking can take care of accuracy issues on most articles pretty efficiently, due to the happy accident that people interested in and knowledgeable about topics tend to read those particular articles. As far as I could tell, this was the original engine of the phenomenon of Wikipedia, and why it now has articles that eclipse old-school encyclopedias.
It was a fine idea to add sources where applicable, but the other result was essentially murdering an article like this. There's no joy in adding things to Wikipedia anymore, obviously, and the rule-people have rendered it as dull and now static as any encyclopedia. In my opinion, editors disinterested in topics should not even read the pages, let alone destroy articles that contain accurate info. It's a really poor and impoverishing methodology essentially at war with what Wikipedia was. Even the appeal of Wikipedia was once "hey, there's a huge, detailed article on wack-packers."

They took some people off that they deemed not to be Wack Packers that you guys still have listed on the page as members. One's that need to be removed per Howard Stern himself and his staff are:
Angry Black Ass Napkin Ed Bobo The Businessman Daniel Carver Denise Miller Evil Dave Letterman The Iron Sheik Hillbilly Jack Rushman Junior the Farter King of All Blacks Maryann from Brooklyn Roger Yucko the Clown Black

Just wanted to say I boldly cleaned up this article and redid the list format, per Stern's official list. I did this not only because an official list was created, but also because the old format was very crowded and didn't seem to flow as well as it could've. If anyone doesn't like the new format or has any suggestions and improvements, feel free to make changes. I am in the process of also searching for the "original" list of Wack Packers. When this is located, I plan on adding it as well. Any improvements to the article would be helpful. Thechased ( talk) 05:21, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
I'm sorry, I am new to this so I don't know the proper way to go about this. But can someone please add "Mick the Nerd" as a current Wack Pack member. Howard himself as confirmed multiple times on air in the past couple of months that Mick the Nerd is an official member of the Wack Pack. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bababooey827 ( talk • contribs) 13:43, 16 July 2015 (UTC)

86.44.236.127 ( talk) 03:48, 5 May 2016 (UTC) It is stated Bigfoot is dead, and it links to a deceased actor of a different name. Bigfoots name is , not Matthew Mcgrory. He is also still alive.
Howard officially dubbed Marfan Mike a wack packer this past week. I tried to edit him in but the page is protected. Whoever is in charge of this page should either get their shit together or open the page up so we can do their job for them. Thanks. Arizenheimer ( talk) 19:18, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
