Has Howard Stern done his tickle chair recently?

[dumbledore]

I saw on the news today that Mila Kunis was on his show, and had a flicker wonder imagining what it would have been like to see her get tickled.

I haven't seen any recent clips - does he still do this every now and then, or is it long gone?

He gave it away to one of the guys from the wack pack. Unless he got a new chair that I am unaware of.

AWWWW seriously???? 🙁 Damn... 🙁

I haven't listened in a pretty long time, but I doubt he still does that sort of thing. As Boyne pointed out, he gave away the tickle chair, and also he has a pretty different show now. There's no sexual hi-jinks anymore, it's mostly just reviews of TV shows that he watches, and the softest of softball celebrity interviews.

🙁 I knew that partly but this update really makes me sad. I quit listening cuz of the overkill with his constant bathroom humor. Therapy imo didn't do much for him as per his show... I mean I know we all grow and stuff but... his growth is... I don't even know. 🙁 Maybe Beth is a huge reason he has curtailed himself so much...

damn... 🙁 Old school Howard VS New Howard..

...and the winner is old school Howard.

I agree, I was never a huge fan of the bathroom humor aspect of the show, but at least it was funny.

Despite the shock jock origins, Howard is a very smart guy, and used to be an incisive interviewer, who could get surprisingly honest answers out of his guests.
The toilet humor, the tickle chair, and the overt sexual stuff has been "passed down" to about a thousand other morning zoo programs. You can't get away with that stuff after you're 60 without looking really creepy.
Personally, I always thought the tickle chair was kind of lame; it seemed more like just an excuse to feel up a C or D list "celebrity".

I have had the same thoughts actually. I have 2 agree with you I remember having those same thoughts now. And... I REALLY HATED how he treated Yaqi. Idk if Yaqi would agree but... I accepted "dark" Howard until that point... Howard was who he was but... maybe its because Tickling is so loved and so personal for me... but at the end of the day... I lost a lot of respect for him with how he talked to Yaqi. So rather than say Old school Howard Vs New Howard I really should be saying Pre Yaqi Vs Post Yaqi. I never loved or enjoyed him much after that. Every once an in awhile I will watch or listen 2 old clips and that's it.

Of course it was just a reason to feel up hot babes. he was never really into tickling that much.

I believe he also said tickling stopped "doing it" for him after awhile.

Translation: For a while, tickling seemed edgy and boosted ratings, and eventually, non ticklers weren't interested anymore so the tickle chair went the way of the dinosaurs.

Personally, I enjoyed seeing C list celebs get tickled.

I'd say that's accurate. Never got into it myself, honestly; it had a phony, strip-club vibe - a "Yeah, Howard, she's doing this because she's totally into you" - kinda thing.
To his credit, he never acted like it wasn't.
