Interview with Richard Christy 11-10-07

excerpt:
JD: It wasn't long after that I remember you were gunning for the Stern job. The whole online voting thing was in effect ... and you were the natural choice for the job, your stuff was just funnier than everyone else's, so ya scored the job, and that was great. What was the time frame on that?

RC: That was a month or two after I first met you at Bellevue. I knew I was gonna audition for the job. I was on tour with Iced Earth, I had to make a tough decision. You know, continue with Iced Earth, or try out for the Howard Stern job. The Howard Stern job is my dream job, I've been a fan since 1995, and I listened to the show everyday since then, and I just had to go for it, it was my dream and I had to do it. It was a tough decision quitting one the biggest metal bands there is, and one of my favorite metal bands, but, you know, I had to do it. I had to follow my gut feeling, and that was try out for this job. I was tired of living in Florida and I wanted to move to either New York or LA, and this was a perfect opportunity, so I'm glad I did what I did.
