Howard Stern, the radio DJ everyone loves to hate, will be inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame. The hall, based in Chicago, will introduce Stern into its annals in November in recognition of his distinguished, albeit marred, career.
AUTOPLAY 
"The most conspicuous and embarrassing
omission
to the Radio Hall of Fame finally will be
corrected this fall when Howard Stern takes his
place in the Chicago-based shrine to radio's
all-time greats," Hall Chairman Bruce DuMont
tells Time
Out Chicago.
"There wasn't any great controversy involving Howard's induction because I think everyone has believed for a long time that he deserved to be inducted."
Stern made headlines throughout his more than 35-year career, through his salacious movies such as "Private Parts," and bellicose pranks. Perhaps his most notorious controversy came from a 1982 phone call he made to Air Florida a day after one of their planes crashed into D.C.'s 14th Street Bridge.
Check out this video, and others in the gallery, as 90s star Luke Perry introduces Stern, aka "Fartman," at the 1992 MTV Music Awards.
