So… that was it?

After months of hype and threats from the PTC, Howard Stern debuted on America’s Got Talent last night and initially joked with viewers: “These NBC executives must be out of their minds taking a risk on me, they should be fired immediately.”

He then, however, assured everyone that he knows how to “behave.” Except…

… didn’t NBC hire him to mostly misbehave? What’s the fun of a watered-down Howard Stern telling a contestant playing something called an “earth harp” that “I made my career out of originality, and I bow to you.”

The most risque line Stern crossed? When he told another hopeful the following: “As a stripper you can’t have man-boobs, you understand. I have them, but I’m not a stripper.”

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Plot that boycott, sponsors!
