Broadcaster Al Michaels and Son Calls Boomer Esiason A Jerk on Howard Stern


Recommended Posts

New York, NY -- Sunday Night Football's Al Michaels responded to a caller's question of whether or not WFAN's Boomer Esiason was the biggest jerk that he's ever worked with while on the Howard Stern Show today. Al's son Steve Michaels (President & CEO of Asylum Entertainment best known for producing E's 2006 [i]30 Most Outrageous Celebrity Feuds[/i] and often confused with [url="http://asylum-et.com/about/"][color="#0000ff"]Asylum Entertainment[/color][/url] - a social network, entertainment website and record label originally founded in 1992.) apparently nodded yes in the background.

Pushed, the senior Michaels said: "[i]I had him[/i] [Esiason] for a couple of years early in his career and I did the best I could to help him come along. But Boomer blasts me."

The junior Michaels later followed up when asked if he gets upset when folks criticize Al with "It's only been Boomer."

We felt this was going to become a huge event so rather than live tweet the conversation earlier live like some fading, co-opted corporate hack -- here's the audio.

You pretty much have to believe in miracles if Boomer is your sole critic after 40 years in the media biz, no?

When you take out some of the "Howard being Howard" stuff, he gives a decent interview. I've never liked him. Perhaps that's how he works. Throw in the dumb question about watching your parents make love so maybe they'll answer the question about Boomer, and what happened to the Kennedy's movie.

Not a fan of Howard's, but I enjoyed the clip, and wouldn't discount him as a hack.
