being a guest on the howard stern show yesterday talking about WHATEVERLAND and everything else was unbelievably exciting.
when i started broadcasting 6 years ago, i thought about the day that i would get to appear on howard’s show… thought about it and then pushed the thought away because really, the thought of its actually happening was terrifying.
it was terrifying because i was so painfully insecure and had zero sense of humor about it.
6 years later, through the therapy of broadcasting to how ever many involved phenomenal listeners (12-thousands?!) i can laugh at all (or most!) of my (too many to count) flaws. and a good natured ribbing makes me giggle.
and 6 years later i was on howard’s show. i was treated with respect and kindness and humor. and i savored every minute of it.
through struggle comes many gifts. and i do my best to be aware of those gifts.
a couple of years of struggle leading up to that 30 minutes with howard stern- GIFT!
so i gush, but he deserves the gushing.
and that gary dell’abate is a good friend.
please check out my show if you havent on martha’s channel 110 daily from 5-7pm edt… and thursdays i do the what’s worth watching show with jon hein (and jd, and ronnie, and stevie brandano!) on howard 101.
and i plan to be back on my treadmill streaming/making a video tomorrow… feel free (please please do!) to leave questions for me to answer while on the treadmill.
im so appreciative of all the support and ridiculously kind words about my appearance yesterday.
you are really nice to take the time to tell me.

QUEEN OF EFFING EVERYTHING says
THOSE BOOTS LOOK REALLY STUPID ON YOU, AND HONESTLY YOUR FACE LOOKED BETTER CHUBBY, GET OVER YOURSELF. THE ONLY REASON HOWARD DIDN’T GOOF ON YOU IS CUZ YOUR A JEW JUST LIKE HIM
Jenny says
thanks for saying face was better “chubby” rather than fat!!! i just thought i looked fat. and yes, i am a jew. and it is ok!
Chilli willi says
Sounds like the queen of effin nothin is jealous , loser ! Jen is effin hot !
Chris says
Wow, “Queen” has some anger/hostility issues to work out…easy to dole out the vitriol behind a computer monitor… it’s one thing to offer unsolicited opinions/criticisms in a constructive way…. it’s quite another to be so full of hate, venom, and viciousness. You are a sad and lonely soul “Queen” and I /we hope you find forgiveness and peace of mind someday.
Steve Bisson says
Your appearance yesterday on the Howard Stern Show was awesome. I want to listen to your radio show more than ever and will do so. This book is now intriguing to me and FYI…I am a counselor and I tell people that they need to get angry oce in a while, it’s healthy. So be angry at that Alexis Stewart. Nothing wrong with that…just don’t hold on to it. And, I’ll admit, I checked out your website to see what you looked like and got to admit: pretty good looking.
Jenny says
haha. pretty good looking! ill take it! especially after the other comment here… glad you liked the appearance. ive had anger. ive felt it. i just go into the sadness rather quickly… lol. happy you’ll check out my show!
Steve Bisson says
I wanted to really say: very hot but felt it seems too desperate! lol
Jenny says
lmao. good cover. oy. all ok. anything complimentary is well complimentary! not desperate. thanks!!!!
Michelle says
I can’t believe how f’ing rude people are but I am very impressed with the way you handle the assholes with grace. You always come out smelling like a rose.
Karen says
LOVE Whateverland!!! On chapter 3 but chapter 2 is the best! Your weight loss story empowered me. Question: You went to Chicago recently? What restaurants/bars did you hit up and what was your favorite thing you did there? I used to live in Wrigleyville/Boystown area but now am in the burbs for my new job. <3 that city and the trail that goes along the beach!
Shayna says
I heard your segment on Howard and LOVED IT! I think you are just so real and hysterical! I had no idea you had a show on sirius! I fell into your Whatever Martha years ago and was hooked! I thought you were hysterical and let’s face it, Martha (although she is great at what she does) is very serious and makes crafting look like a very serious intense job. NO time for funny business when setting a table or crafting!!! My husband would always say “what the hell are you watching” haha…..I’m glad I got to hear your segment and now found your blog! Great job! You’ve got another fan! =)
Karen says
Do you cook for your fam and what’s your favorite dish to make?
Jenny says
im not a great cook! and often not home in time for dinner. i can make great eggs. great oatmeal. and i can bake. but i dont love to bake SO i dont do it a lot… i do love noodles.. haha.
Erin says
Great job on the show. You comported yourself well in what is certainly an unusual situation.
Nancy says
Hi Jennifer, its me Nancy From Arkansas. I want to make sure we make a ca connection before i say to much.
PS: Loved ya on Howard Stern. But, way to early. Not sure how you did it.
hugs and kisses. Nancy in the River Valley of Arkansas.
Nancy says
OMG How about that spelling of connection????
LMAO AT ME.
Love Ya Girl.
Carolyn Morgenstern says
You two cunts are unbelievable! First you co-write this shitty book throwing EVERYONE under the bus, then you have a fight, stop speaking, block and de-friend each other on Facebook. Now you go on today as though you’re still good buds and get all defensive when the interviewer(who was crap-ass, BTW) calls you on on all your asshattery!
You’re both fake as shit! What do you have to say to that? AND you looked incredibly gaunt and Alexis looked over facial filler inflated!!!
Seriously JENNY how can you live this PHONY ASS LIE just to sell a horribly written, unfunny book?
Jenny says
oddly im flattered you called me “gaunt”. and re pretending to be good buds…nope i dont think anyone else got that pretense. i think i answered best i could… and i like our book. doesn’t mean you have to like…
Erinn says
For someone so hostile, she really knows a lot about you!
Started following you after hearing about you from Rosie. You got it together. Most comments on the web were very complimentary to you and how you handled the interview. Keep it up! Great to see someone real and nice.
gopackjo says
Yeah! Jenny, you dumb skinny whore! 😉
A person would have to have Asperger’s Syndrome to have thought you were being ‘buddy buddy’. Just keep being you Jenny. We love you!
Carolyn Morgenstern says
That’s the point, the body language was so tense that it was obvious they weren’t speaking, yet, to make a buck, they show up for the show and play away at promoting it and talking up all their funny little annecdotes with that annoying hostess.
I would have actually respected you Jennifer had you spoken the truth about the whole break up, instead of playing along with the farce.
You need to take some lessons from your friend Rosie on being candid and truthful.
Jenny says
how can one explain the nuance of a friendship in 3 minutes on national tv? additionally, and ill keep saying this ad nauseam… there was not an event or a dramatic something..it was over time. and yes it is weird but beyond that i dont have much of an explanation. the book is NOT about enduring female friendships.. it is about much more. and gosh, i do adore my friend rosie and we have learned from eachother. and whether or not you choose to believe MY truth is ok…
Carolyn Morgenstern says
That’s just the point Jennifer, it never was a friendship to begin with, because Alexis doesn’t have the “friendship gene”. To Alexis it was just a working relationship, she got bored of the gig, cast you aside and slammed the door.
A real friendship transcends and is loyal.
But fame and money do make strange bedfellows.
Jenny says
oh. i dont know. i have the attachment gene. not easy way to live… but really i was responding the way i felt on the today show. enough said.
Carolyn Morgenstern says
Jennifer, When Alexis comes to a crossroads where you have to work at fixing a relationship, she punts it with no remorse.
ShesScary says
Carolyn, I can’t help thinking that you are really Alexis. I know you trashed her too but I think that’s just a cover. It would be interesting to check where some of these comments come from. If you are not Alexis – you sure are angry at the world like her. I know that’s the kind of sh*t she says/thinks/writes when there are no cameras around.
Jenny says
oh that’s NOT alexis. alexis wouldnt involve herself in ridiculousness like that, nor would she write so poorly!
Carolyn Morgenstern says
Listen Jennifer, when it comes to poorly written, “Whateverland?” is a hot mess of an example…and yes, I read it out of curiosity.
Why would you two even appear on Today, other than to fulfill a literary contract and make money off it? You’re both such phonies.
Carolyn Morgenstern says
and explain all the Facebook nonsense…
Jenny says
i wish i could…
Barry Delmar says
Jennifer is not fake. She is person like anyone else. In fact I don’t think there is anyone so a tune to their fans as Jennifer is. So you all can continue your bigotry and hateful comments to her, but the truth is she does care about people, even Alexis. She exemplifies the golden rule and has keen sense of humanity.
Carolyn Morgenstern says
Clearly you didn’t listen to Jennifer on the Stern Show.
Eww says
Who the fuck likes candy korn?… Eww.
