Interview with Chaunce Hayden

Doc: You were a frequent caller and guest of the Howard Stern show for over 17 years, then suddenly that all stopped. It has been months since you were last heard on the show. What happened?

Chaunce: Back in February of 2005, while Howard was on vacation, I received a subpoena from the Security and Exchange Commission regarding Sirius insider stock trades. At first I thought it was Sal The Stock Broker playing a joke. So I called Jason, Will, Gary and Dominic to get advice or to find out if it was joke. They all blew me off. So I faxed it to a friend who writes for the business section of the NY Post. He confirmed it was real and asked me a few questions about it. The next day Howard's face was on the cover of the paper and my days on the Howard Stern Show were over. I spent that week fielding questions from the Associated Press and a few other select media outlets. At that point it really didn't matter. I knew I was off the show and I just wanted to clear my name and also tell the world how stupid the whole thing was. I didn't even own Sirius stock and Howard and I were never friends off the air. So to me, the whole thing was ridiculous. But to Howard it was much more. I'm sure he felt I betrayed him buy sending a copy of the subpoena to the Post . In my heart I thought Howard would find the whole thing as amusing as I did. I didn't take it serious and saw it as an opportunity to add some content for the show and cause some havoc. I wish I could go back in time and do things differently. But I can't. So, my time on the Howard Stern Show is over. End of story.
