Any specific interview you recommend? The few I tried listening to were not worth finishing... simply un-interesting. I'd like to hear one or two of the memorable ones that his fans really enjoyed.

This is not a new one, but dives into a world most aren't familiar with, that of the independent cartoonist. This particular interview is with the creator of Ren and Stimpy, and his antagonist, the voice of Stimpy, who had a major falling out:

Just watched all of that, thanks for posting. As an old (young?) Ren & Stimpy fan, I had no idea of the backstory. Also, even though Howard Stern's dad weighed in, I'm not sure who I side with. I can honestly see both sides to the argument and that's... unsettling.

Bonus Godwin's Law reference for those that didn't want to watch, it's about 45 seconds from this start: https://youtu.be/PheypE68BKc?t=30m32s

The Howard Stern show because of its longevity has had many great moments so its hard to choose. But I really liked the John Oliver interview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQxyfbd2PzM It is the situation though: Did I like the interview- because Stern is a great interviewer /or/ because I like john oliver? I am not sure

There are so many to pick, but here are a few.

Music - Lady Gaga - I was not a fan until I heard her performances and story - Jewel - Gwen Stefani

Comedians - Louis CK - Doug Stanhope - Eric Andre - Hannibal Burress - Chris Rock

Celebrities - Quentin Tarantino - Arnold Schwarzenegger - Danny Trejo (Machete) - Mike Tyson - JJ Abrams - Jerry Seinfeld - John Goodman

It's been a while since I last listened to the show, but thinking back, some of my favorite guests were:

Bill Murray, Jerry Seinfeld, Jeff Bridges, Martha Stewart, Alec Baldwin, Conan O'Brien, Quentin Tarantino, Brad Garrett, Jesse Ventura, Howie Mandel, Norm MacDonald, Tom Arnold, Steven Adler and Chip Z'nuff.
