Trouble With The IRS
Okay, maybe this one was not intentional. Though, it caused quite the stir none the less. During a broadcasting of his show in May 2015, Stern broadcast parts of a conversation between Judith Barrigas, a citizen from Massachusetts, and an IRS agent. Apparently, the agent had called into the show prior to this conversation with Barrigas and was on hold until he was connected with Barrigas in order to answer a tax question she had about her personal finances. Then, the calls got mixed up somehow which led to parts of the call being heard live on air, including Judith’s phone number. Afterwards, Barrigas attempted to sue Howard for the exposure, citing unlawful invasion of privacy on top of negligence.

His Policies
As we mentioned, Stern had a brief stunt in politics when he ran for governor in 1994. His policies really made him stand out for the Libertarian candidate that he is. Firstly, he hoped to reinstate the death penalty. Of course, this comes as a very controversial opinion, but Stern is no stranger to that! However, in order to officially have his name on the ballot, it was required he release private financial information and his address to which Stern refused. Thus, he withdrew from the race.
