Stern's love for his then-wife Alison is a central theme in the movie, and she even has a bit role as one of the receptionists at WNBC during the "Lance Eluction" segment. Unfortunately and ironically, Howard and Alison divorced two years after the movie. Some Howard Stern fans have suggested that the movie reflects the matrimonial difficulties that would result in their divorce.

Reception

The film premiered at the top of the box-office in its opening weekend with a gross of $14.6 million. It grossed slightly more than $41 million in total. With $23 million of the film's gross going to movie theaters and a production budget of $20 million, the film did not make a profit during its original run, although it did garner additional revenue from video rentals and sales.

It received mostly positive reviews from critics, most notably from Siskel and Ebert who were frequent guests of Stern's radio show. Some critics claimed that film glossed over his use of sexual and racial humor.

For his performance, Stern won the Blockbuster Entertainment Award for Favorite Male Newcomer. The awards are given by the result of write-in votes from fans and Stern won by a wide margin. Stern was nominated for a Golden Satellite Award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Comedy. He was also nominated for a Razzie Award for Worst New Star.

Other versions

USA Network version

For the film's basic cable premiere on USA Network in 2000, Stern appeared in new taped segments in which he occasionally pauses the film to comment on it. In a relatively bold move, USA premiered the film even though no alternate scenes had been filmed to replace the nudity nor had any alternate dialogue been recorded to replace the profanity for television broadcasts. The nudity was simply pixelizated and the profanity bleeped.
