Les Today: Love boat Les and the shock jock kill the beef, for now

Published: Thursday, May 25, 2006

Howard Stern and his former boss Les "Love Boat" Moonves have reached a settlement on their feud. We all knew this would have been settled without a long drawn out show in court. And like we said Howard Stern would have probably let the cat out of the bag on Moonves on possible strong arm tactics he may have used in the past, and fluffing numbers for advertisers. A little far fetched? Nah, not with all the Enrons and Tycos.

If you remember CBS Les Moonves had sued Stern in February, claiming he improperly used CBS air time to promote his new show on Sirius Satellite Radio, which began in January. According to the AP, CBS also said Stern made plans with Sirius without disclosing them to CBS, as his contract required.

In March, Stern went on CBS's Late Show with David Letterman and blasted network head Les Moonves. "I believe you are working for one of the biggest jerks on the planet," Stern, wearing an "I Hate Less Moonves" T-shirt, told Letterman. "Les Moonves is a bully." In reference to Moonves's early acting career, Stern added, "CBS took a C-list actor from The Love Boat and made him CEO."



Ohhhhhhhhh thats a low blow Howard. You just had to bring up the Love Boat thing huh??
