I'll poor some of my next Slush out for him. But not too much because they are delicious.

RIP to the best caller in Stern show history. Eric the actor was hated by some but I loved him and his calls were the highlight of the show for me for many years. sad day.

Bummer, Stern will probably have to take some vacation days to get over it.

Eric is on the front of yahoo.com. Every Stern staff twitter account is silent. Which begs the question...what the **** does Howard 100 News actually do other than schill for various staff member pet projects. Steve Langford might have been the only real newsman to ever have worked for that group.

My guess would be they are under orders to maintain radio silence until the boss speaks.

The RIP is up on howardstern.com now. I'm sure they wanted confirmation as his death has been reported multiple times.

It's an entertainment program and the "news" part of it was long ago neutered.

It was in Variety. :pop:

Glad he's getting the notoriety he craved so much when he was alive. Someone said this morning that he's finally an actor. RIP.

nice special on him this morning, going back hearing some of these moments on the show are hilarious, so many great call ins. Jimmy Kimmel calling in talking about his favorite moments is just spectacular.

Listening to yesterday's show now and those operatic versions of Eric's insults/declarations are priceless.

I assume it was Daniel Mendelson that did it? His mastery of taking down JD is epic.
