I can't take him at all. He's told the same exact stories the last three times he has been on. On top of that, he just. fucking. rambles.

Agreed. I feel out of breath every time. He's physically exhausting

I like him in small doses. After a while I'm tired of listening to him rant.

when you're young and you're with a girl you're like ohhhh ohhhhh

when you're older and you take a piss you're like ohhhh ohhhh

how many times have we heard that story?

still love Pat. I had to listen to him 3x to understand wtf he was on about though. I particularly enjoyed hearing about him shitting out of his apartment window as a wee-guinea.

One of the best ever.

He's a national treasure.

Great guest IMHO.

I love angry old men.

I wouldn't like him if he was on once a week, a couple times a year is great though.

Love him!

agreed, one of my favorite guests on the show

Great

funny, but gets annoying

To me, he's fun to have around because he's like a relic from comedy past. People complain about him using the same jokes, but the man is 86, what the hell do you want from him? He's not going to be Louie C.K., all topical an irreverent as hell. He paved the way for dirty comics over half a century ago. I don't expect anything from him today besides rants about his defunct cock, or old stories about pissing and shitting out a window (..."and the roses came out great!").

Good as long as it's once a year.

He is a awful guest. I think part of the reason they have him on is because they know he will shit talk Stern. Pat Cooper is very butt hurt over Stern.

Was this guy ever a popular famous comedian ? I'm only 29 and I've never heard any of my older family members mention him. We all know some older comedians that were popular in the past but I've never heard anyone say hey I'm a Pat Cooper fan.

Pat's big break came in 1953 via TV's Jackie Gleason Show.

1953! what the fuck, my parents weren't even alive then. He's the shit. He's an old man. Any Pat Cooper fans likely died in the Korean War.

Have to be Italian To Like Pat Cooper" (1967), "An Italian Wedding" and "More Saucy Stories From..." (1968). Pat Cooper's comedy albums have sold millions of copies, and have earned Pat numerous gold and platinum records

fucking sold millions of records in 68! He's bigger than jesus beetles.

I have older parents and I can remember one time a few years ago maybe the first time he was on I was in the car with my mom and I was listening to O&A and she never heard of him. I'm just sick of the guy if you listen to Stern also you probably feel the same. I heard his whole angry yelling shtick 15 years ago on Stern.

i fucking hate that loud-mouthed Goombah. "he stinks, and i don't like him"

Anthony??? he's a host of the show!

Bad, I always turn it off.

I enjoy him. He's getting old now and seems to make less sense every time he's on. Wasn't his best appearance yesterday, but the Howard smashing was enjoyable enough. "The Haaaaammmppttonnnsss"

Good, but I get tired of him pretty quickly, he needs to "switch off" occasionally and not be the old yelling guy the entire time.

You expect him to change at 86? Love him or don't, he's not changing his pace.

Oh I don't ever expect him to, if he did he probably would be boring as shit. :P

He can't get it up. He can't hear. He never tells the same stories twice(???). He constantly yells. He's never wrong. He's always right. He just wants to die....................

I always think I'll tune out - I never do --- hope they do the Cooper vs Dice show

I fucking love the man.

He's no Donald J Trump Jr though!

Not a fan. He's just too much of a presence on the show and I can't really relate to him. Kind of has the same effect that Jay Mohrzzzzz does when he's on too long.

Jay Mohr really does bomb a lot when he's on, isn't he?

He's just overly energetic and too hyper to take part in an interesting conversation. Honestly, I think his podcast is better than when he's on the show. I think he just gets too excited when he's on-air and he can't focus.

Bad guest IMO. I feel like he's trying so hard to keep up with a world that his passed him by. No one wants to listen to an old guy talk about how he can't get it up anymore. He's not funny, he's just sad.

Bobo > Pat Cooper

Bobo > no one

anything > bobo

I'd listen to 3 hours of that star spangled 11 year old before Bobo

I, personally, HATE when Pat Cooper is in studio. In fact, I for some reason thought he was dead... but he's not. I learned that today.

Bobo > no one
