The NY Post reports Stern plugged his third book, “Howard Stern Comes Again,” on Stephen Colbert‘s “Late Show” Tuesday night, saying he mentions Trump nearly a dozen times in it.
“He was maybe one of the best top five guests of all time and why? He was wild,” Stern said. “I thought I was wild.”
The brash-talking longtime radio host said Trump was a “great guest because he would say anything that came into his mind.”
He also recalled Trump seeking his endorsement in the run-up to the 2016 election, even though Stern’s loyalty lay elsewhere.
“Donald said, ‘Would you please come to the Republican convention and speak on my behalf?’ And I went, ‘Oh my God,'” he told Colbert. “You know, it’s a weird thing because here a guy is asking — who asks me to do a thing like that? — and it was very nice, but I had to find a way and say, ‘Look, I can’t do this.’ He knows I’m a Hillary Clinton supporter.”
The former Fartman said he was convinced Trump didn’t actually want to run for president — and only did so to boost ratings for “The Apprentice.”
“What did he say? ‘I’ll run for president, I’ll get a lot of press,’ and I really believe that Donald — this was a gimmick to get NBC to raise up his salary and to keep ‘The Apprentice’ on,” Stern said. “And I would bet the farm on that.”
