The Wack Pack is the name given to a wide assortment of regular guests of The Howard Stern Show. As a parody of the Rat Pack or Brat Pack, they were often as memorable as Stern's regular airtime celebrity guests. Wack Packers tend to be unusual in some way, such as blatantly racist, mentally disabled, sexually deviant or having a comical voice or appearance. Not every regular guest is considered a member of The Wack Pack, nor are staff members like Robin Quivers, Fred Norris, Gary Dell'Abate, Artie Lange, or the now-departed Stuttering John.
Some Wack Packers appear to serve as cautionary figures; for example, with every appearance, Crackhead Bob would effectively remind Stern's several million listeners of the dangers of crack cocaine, while Joe Cancer would be a powerful testimonial to the evils of tobacco. Jeff the Drunk and the deceased Hank the Angry Drunken Dwarf seem to reinforce the value of moderation.
Through their appearances on Stern's radio program and the now defunct E! television show, some Wack Packers have gained notoriety for personal appearances around the country and occasionally, have gotten small roles in movies and television.
On October 20, 2005, Stern announced plans for the Wack Pack to elect their own "Pope" from their ranks. In addition to the honor of leading the Wack Pack, the winner would receive a US$10,000 prize. This bit appears to have been abandoned as it has not been mentioned on-air since Stern's Sirius Radio debut. Though it seems Stern exploits them wantonly, Wack Packers are well-respected (yet mocked like most Stern regulars) and are fiercely protected by show staff and fans alike. During the December 16, 2005 terrestrial finale webcast on Yahoo!, one of the hosts remarked that Yahoo! had received instructions for Wack Pack to be treated "better than celebrities."
On June 19, 2006, Howard Stern announced a contest for the next Wack Packer, with the winner receiving $5000. The winner was Bigfoot (Mark).
