Why Exactly Did Howard Stern Have A Tickle Chair?

[A/S/H]

I wasn't really around for his show but for obvious reasons I've known about his tickle chair for quite some time, but I never really understood it. Was it a random thing he just started doing out of nowhere/from the beginning or did he get the idea from Yaqi? Is he into tickling himself or was it just a gimmick for his show? This probably doesn't need an entire thread but I'm really curious

If I remember correctly, it was a suggestion from listeners that got it started. Stern was constrained by FCC rules back then, thus limiting how sexual things could get on air. The tickle chair was a way to stretch the boundaries, specifically by the premise of tickling woman until they peed.

Don’t think he was into it, I think it was semi-popular demand 🙂

Wish he managed to convince Trish, Lita and Stephanie to sit in the tickle chair.

It was a popular demand and also gave him an excuse to touch hotties.

I'm really surprised it was a listener's suggestion, but I guess it makes sense within the context of the early 2000s. Any action was better than no action back then lol

In the few clips of his I watched I always felt like they were just sort of tolerating him lol, but I could be wrong
