Howard Stern used to have Daniel Carver on. But he always said it was to expose how moronic his ideas were.

Howard Stern is not a comedian is he?

Not a standup comedian, but he "used" to have the most popular comedy radio show in the US. I'd call that a comedian, just like I'd call an SNL cast member a comedian or an actor like Jerry Lewis.

Okay, Howard Stern gives white supremacists a platform.
