An open letter to SFN and Jessica Hahn (post #1)
An open letter to SFN and Jessica Hahn:
Hi all.
This is Jason Kaplan and yes, I read SFN at least once a day. I love the site. I love seeing what the fans are talking about, especially you guys, who are never short a theory, conspiracy, complaint or funny photoshop.
Not sure why anyone would be surprised by that. First of all, I produce Superfan Roundtable, the show for the fans, by the fans. I'm always looking to see what the fans are interested in and talking about. So many of you have great angles on what's going on. Even though I don't agree most of the times, or the logic is faulty in my opinion, doesn't mean it's not interesting as hell. Ask Mutt how often I go to him saying "this guy on SFN had a great point, let's talk about that on superfan tonight...".
Ask anyone who has ever been up here for SFRT. I love the fans opinions on stuff. I was (and still am) a huge fan of the show. Way before I started working here, I was a superfan, and if I never got a job here I'm sure I'd be reading SFN all the time anyway.
In regards to Jessica Hahn, I am well aware of her history with the show. I heard it all growing up. I know what a major part she played, and still continues to play, with the show. If there ever was a hall of fame for guests/personalities of the show, she'd be right at the top of the list.
She is also a total sweetheart. The little I know her personally, I know that she is a kind, caring person who is beyond nice to everyone. And she's a great piano player.
That said, I still don't think she's a celebrity. Sorry, she's just not. She's infamous for a 25 year old scandal and besides that, if you don't listen to the Howard Stern show, you have no idea who she is. In the Howard Stern universe - major star, and deservedly so. Outside the HS Universe - no one knows who she is, unless they are over 40 years old and you remind them of the Jim Bakker story. And even that is a crap shoot.
But Jessica, no disrespect mean. Also, I don't think it's insulting at all to be considered part of the wack pack...for the most part. And, by the way, I agree with you 100% about Barbara Walters. In one fail swoop she has thrown out 50 years of respect to reveal that not only is she a home-wrecking slut, but proud of it! She is a hypocrite and apparently only interested in herself and no one else.
To Sternfan Network and Superfans everywhere - you are an integral part of the show and the Stern Universe. Even when you bash me, it's an honor, because it means you are aware of who I am from the show, which is more than I could have ever asked for.
Thank you for taking the time to read my message - Jason
