Sal Governale’s Strip Club Disaster: Home at 6:15 AM | Howard Stern 2026

Sal Governale’s strip club night with his wife Christine turns into a disaster: missed trains, a worrying voicemail, and a 6:15 AM arrival home. Howard Stern questions his decisions, while Ronnie Mund gives his side of the story. In this February 4, 2008 Howard Stern Show compilation, Sal explains why he stayed behind while Christine left with friends—and how “a few more minutes” became an entire night. Artie Lange also celebrates the Giants’ Super Bowl victory and says his football betting run has put him up $78,000. Jim Cramer joins the studio to discuss the Sirius–XM merger, Artie’s winnings, his Wall Street career, and his personal life. Other moments include Howard’s reaction to Paris Hilton on Letterman, Artie’s own Letterman appearance, his difficult conversation with Dana, Gary Dell’Abate’s boredom in Las Vegas, and Robin Quivers meeting Jim Florentine’s family. Which explanation surprised you most: Sal’s missed trains or Gary being bored in Vegas? Leave your pick in the comments.
