Though Sal employs crass racial humor on the show and in stand-up appearances, he denies being a racist. He is known for the prank phone calls and gay-themed stunts he performs with Richard. Despite coming in second in the "Win John's Job" contest, Sal was hired as Richard Christy's writing partner. Sal became a well-known (though never particularly popular) caller in the wake of his frequent call-ins making fun of Gary Dell'Abate. Sal Governale (better known as "Sal the Stockbroker") started calling into the show while working as a stockbroker in New York City. Since joining the show, Christy has become known for his prank calls, song parodies, personality and "show stunts" he performs with Sal the Stockbroker. In July 2004, when the show was holding a "Get John's Job" contest following the departure of Stuttering John from the show, Christy won the position as voted by fans. Christy would also make his first visit to the show on Apwhere he played a round of blackjack to win a date with a porn star. From 2001 to 2003, Christy would send song parodies and bits about Armstrong and show co-host Robin Quivers. While working as an electrician in Florida and playing as a drummer in a number of heavy metal bands including Iced Earth and Death, Christy began calling into the show from October 1999, initially sending voice mails to the show's assistant producer KC Armstrong which would get played on-air.
On October 29, 2001, Lange joined the show full-time. The temporary appearance consisted of being Stern's sidekick along with Quivers, and Lange frequently told personal stories, usually regarding alcohol, drugs, food and prostitutes. Lange's first appearance in what became known as "The Jackie Chair" occurred for 2 days, on May 7 and 8, 2001. Although appearing with Macdonald to promote the film Dirty Work, Lange had been a fan of Stern since the 1980s when on one occasion following the death of Lange's father in 1987, show producer Gary Dell'Abate sent Lange an autographed jacket which Lange auctioned off for $2,000 to support his family.įollowing the departure of the show's writer and comedian Jackie "The Jokeman" Martling in 2001, several comedians "auditioned" for Martling's seat by sitting in for a couple of shows. Lange's first appearance on the show was as a guest alongside fellow comedian Norm Macdonald on January 8, 1998, following a bit involving Scott the Engineer and his challenge to perform 17 complete push-ups.
