HOWARD STERN Says DAVID LEE ROTH Will Replace Him In New York

July 19, 2005

According to The Los Angeles Times, Howard Stern, who is literally counting the days before he leaves terrestrial radio for satellite, revealed on the air Monday (July 18) that comedian Adam Carolla and ex-VAN HALEN frontman David Lee Roth will take over his popular morning time slot, at least in the Los Angeles and New York markets, respectively.

Roth has reportedly been experimenting with his "Diamond Dave" morning show at a classic-rock station in Boston. The singer still tours occasionally and has a performance scheduled July 29 in Redding.

Stern made his announcement Monday morning on his show following an elaborate hourlong ruse he staged in which it appeared Roth already had taken over the show and the longtime shock jock has been summarily bounced out of his job. In fact, Stern used comic Bill Mira, who has been doing a credible Roth voice imitation for months for the show, to be "Diamond Dave". Monday was Stern's first day back on the air after a two-week vacation.
