Eric called into the show yesterday making his usual “You never let me on, but I have nothing to say complaint”. Howard tried to keep things interesting by quiz Eric with some multiplication questions,  but Eric couldn’t answer the easiest questions. He did finally come up with an answer, but only after getting it from his cell phone. It seemed odd that he couldn’t come up with an answer sooner even while using his cellphone, but then I remembered about his crab claws and then everything made sense.

Also, Eric’s birthday is this Thursday, March 11th. I’m not sure how old he is but happy bday little guy.

Eric called in today to talk about American Idol and Simon Cowell’s departure from the show. Here’s the recap from howardstern.com:

Eric the Midget called in to suggest that Weird Al Yankovic replace Simon Cowell on the next season of ‘American Idol,’ leading Howard to joke: “I never thought of Weird Al Yankovic as the solution to any problem.” Eric said Simon would be missed: “He’s the person who got the whole show started. Besides Nigel. And the other Simon.”

Eric has called in the last two days to promote Bubba the Love Sponge’s appearance on his favorite show, TNA. I don’t know if it was Eric or Hulk Hogan but apparently Spike’s TNA ratings went through the roof.
