While the Howard Stern Show cast took the week off for Thanksgiving vacation, Sirius XM's Spider Harrison counted down the list of the 36 greatest Howard Stern Show moments of 2009. The list was revealed over the course of Thanksgiving week, and culminating with the top five moments to be revealed on Friday's broadcast.  Check out #20-29 on the list of the 'Howard Stern Show Greatest Moments of 2009' below:

#29: Seth McFarlane interview: The mega-millionaire creator of The Family Guy gave Howard Stern a candid interview about his career, and even dropped a few details about his personal life.  Howard Stern Show writer Richard Christy offered to let Sal the Stockbroker ejaculate on his back live on-air for a chance to meet Seth MacFarlane, but Howard Stern spared his audience the auditory trauma.

 

#28: Gadget Gary is a Techno Beaver: When 'Sound & Vision' magazine wroter a story about Baba Booey's love of technology and entitled it 'Gadger Gary,' they subjected the Stern Show producer to a whole new host of insults which resulted in him being renamed 'Techno Beaver.'

 

#27: Quentin Tarantino interview: Howard Stern's interview with Quentin Tarantino made international entertainment news headlines when Tarantino revealed that he had smoked hash with Brad Pitt during the planning of Inglourious Basterds while Angelina Jolie was in a French hospital recovering from birthing twins, and just days after Pitt told Bill Maher he had gone sober ages ago for the sake of the kids.

 

#26: Gary says 'Artie Lies About Everything': A classic episode in the saga of Artie Lange's intermittent sobriety, show producer Gary "Baba Booey" Dell'Abate set off Artie Lange when he proclaimed on 'The Wrap-Up Show': "Artie Lies about everything".  The on-air fight that ensued made for classic Stern Show drama.

 

#25: Rosie O'Donnell interview: Howard Stern's interview with the one time frequent subject of his ridicule Rosie O'Donnell was so good Rosie O'Donnell was immediately approached by Sirius XM to start a show of her own.  The result was 'Rosie Radio' which can now be heard weekdays on Sirius 102 and XM 155.

 

#24: Sal the Stockbroker ruins a party: The reports of how Sal Governale ruined a friend's 40th birthday party with his drunken, disgusting and completely offensive antics was pure gold for Howard Stern Show listeners who love to hate the perpetual ne'er-do-well Howard Stern Show writer.

 

#23: Sacha Baron Cohen as 'Bruno' interview: When Sacha Baron Cohen visited the Howard Stern Show studio as Bruno, he took the opportunity to examine the private parts of exhibitionist staff writers Richard Christy and Sal Governale.  His review?  Richard’s private area was “fantastic”.  And Sal’s?  “Disgraceful.”

 

#22:Howard 100 News has a new sign-off: When a random caller pointed out to Howard Stern that most legitimate news sources sign off by saying the name of the station rather than their own name, he launched Howard into a neurotic tirade that resulted in the Howard 100 News reporters switching up their sign-offs in a way that showed proper reverence for the King of All Media.

 

#21: Cockaoke: Richard and Sal, who continue to insist that they have no homosexual tendencies introduced the concept of 'Cockaoke' in which Sal shoved a microphone in his underpants and had Richard Christy sing into it.

#20: JD cancels Ronnie's show: When Howard Stern gave JD the power to cancel Ronnie the Limo Driver's radio show about cars, the Howard Stern Show's Mambo-cologne-loving security man's head nearly imploded.
