Roth On CBS’ Stern Suit: Charges Might Be “Frivolous”
Richard Huff reports in the New York Daily News that when Howard 100 News reporter Steve Langford caught up with his terrestrial radio successor David Lee Roth last week and asked him about CBS’ breach of contract suit against Howard Stern, Roth said the suit might be "frivolous." Roth commented, "Now that there's been a clean division, I gotta question ... whether or not these kinds of lawsuits are frivolous."
Roth added, "I have to question now if this is somebody trying to take a poke at an artist who has bailed. You know, it's one of those 'Well, if I can't have you then nobody will have you [things].’ I'm wondering if that is the case, [but] again I don't know."
Langford asked Roth if he took heat from station management over his on-air comments, in which he called his bosses "stooges,” among other things.
"Oh, they took great offense, and [Mark] Chernoff, my program director, says, 'I realize you were trying to make fun of me and perhaps even ruin my day,'" Roth said. "I said, 'No, no. My intention was to turn your whole [bleeping] life for the next three weeks into a toilet.'"
