Stern Recounts Favorite Channel 9 Moment

Howard Stern recounted one of his favorite Channel 9 moments this morning. On Dec 13th 1991, Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong did a nativity Christmas sketch. Cheech and Chong were wisemen. Dan was baby Jesus.

WOR/Channel 9 found the bit too offensive so it took a lot of persuasion to get them to air a waterdowned version.

Here's a recap of the episode:
