Fans were surprised to learn on Monday that Bruce Jenner officially came out as a trans woman on Howard Stern. But things were not as they seemed to be. After months of rumors that Bruce is in the process of getting a sex change, a comedian impersonated the voice of the former Olympian and made absurd claim after absurd claim.
When it comes to shocking the listening audience, no one does it better than Howard Stern.
But, as listeners learned on Monday's show, he may have some competition in comedian Kyle Dunnigan. Mr. Dunnigan sat in studio for most of the show, pretending to be Perez Hilton, among a number of other notable celebs.
His most jaw-dropping impression, however, was of Keeping Up with the Kardashian star Bruce Jenner. When Howard asked "Bruce" what his deal was, the comedian explained:
"Thank you for giving me the chance to explain myself here...I'm glad you asked...Look, I was the manliest man in America in 1976, I was on the cover of the Wheaties box, and now I am looking at my feminine side, and I want to be the womaniest woman in America...but I'm not a woman. Let's get that straight. I didn't cut of my p-nis or t-sticles...I'm just like everyone else...Look, I shaved my Adam's Apple, because I didn't like it. I just wanted to look better..."
Of course, the most shocking portion of the "interview" was when Mr. Dunnigan pretended to ride the sybian as Bruce Jenner. If you're not sure what a sybian is, you may want to look it up...at your own peril (NSFW, obviously).
Dunnigan didn't stop there, either. After the show, Stern came clean on his website (just in case anyone really bought the unbelievable interview), telling readers that Dunnigan possesses a number of talents:
"It turned out we were duped, Bruce Jenner was just a comedian named Kyle Dunnigan. Kyle is also our resident Perez Hilton impersonator and he's very good...He's such a good comic, in fact, that he's bones some of the best females in the business (and the greatest Stern Show guests ever) Sarah Silverman and Amy Schumer!"
Did you hear the interview? What do you think of Stern's bit? Will he be attacked like In Touch?
