In 1992, Howard Stern landed in hot water when he said on-air that he hoped commissioner Alfred Sikes’ prostate cancer would spread.
On this Sunday’s "60 Minutes," Stern says that he probably wouldn’t make the comment today, according to the Drudge Report.
Stern tells CBS News correspondent Ed Bradley, “You know what? I don’t know that I would do that now. I’m older. When I get angry and really fired up and feel like my back is up against the wall, I will say vicious things. Rather than hide that, I would rather put that out on the radio and let someone see the full range of (my) emotions.”
According to the Drudge Report, Stern shows no regret over the incident, explaining to Bradley, “If you’re going to be strong on the radio, you got to let it all hang out – even the ugly stuff – and you can’t apologize for it.”
Bradley’s profile reveals a softer side of Stern, who gets emotional when discussing his staff.
The show will air at 7 p.m. ET/PT Sunday on CBS.
