Back in February, editor Jason Katz and myself co-produced our first original project for Howard TV called The Howard Stern Lost Interviews.  It was a memorable experience and one I’d like to share with you.
    The concept is pretty simple.  We separately filmed Richard Christy, Penthouse Pet Krista Ayne, and comedian Mike Bocchetti inside Howard’s studio.  One at a time they read their scripted lines as if Howard was interviewing them.  Later we took actual Stern show interviews from the past and edited it together to make it look like these three individuals were in the studio with Howard at the same time.  
    As I write, I’m trying to think to myself what really sticks out from the shoot.  I’m going to go out on a limb and say working with the 2007 Penthouse Pet Of The Year Runner Up Krista Ayne.  Krista came in a skimpy little bikini looking smoking hot.  She did a great job reading her lines and showcased her acting ability.  However, the script didn’t call for her to get topless.  Needless to say we quickly revised the script.  Krista gladly exposed her boobs.  I think this made the show better but feel free to check it out for yourself.  
    At one point we needed to get reaction shots from Krista.  In the script she was supposed to act upset.  To get realistic reactions from her Doug Goodstein, Jason, and myself hurled insults at her from behind the camera.  “You’re really disgusting.”  “How did you ever make it into Penthouse, you pig”  “I look at your face and I want to throw up.”  In a sick way it was actually really fun to yell at a hot chick.
    Transitioning from beauty to a disgusting, fat, beast, Hi Pitch Eric was supposed to appear in the show as well.  Most Wack Packers are not reliable and Eric was no exception.  He originally committed to the project then refused to do it unless he was paid.  We agreed to pay his travel expenses.  Eric then tried to rip us off by lying about the cost of his commute to Manhattan.  He wanted $40 for his train ride.  This would have been fine if he was making a much longer trip into NYC but he was coming from Long Island where the train rides cost around $15.  Finally, he agreed on our terms.  The morning of the shoot Eric didn’t show up.  Well, we have learned one more time that this is what you get when you deal with Hi-Pitch Eric.
    Richard Christy’s segment is absolutely hysterical.  You may not believe this but Richard plays a gay role in the show.  We asked Richard to take his shirt off.  He quickly responded in his Kansas drawl “I can get naked”.  He said this just seconds after we explained what we wanted.  What you see on the show in no shtick, Richard truly enjoys getting naked in a room full of guys.
    So check out The Howard Stern Lost Interviews that is now airing on Howard TV.  I can promise you’ll laugh your ass off and get to see some hot nakedness (I’m talking about Krista Ayne, not Richard!).
