With his debut tomorrow night as a judge on “America’s Got Talent,” Howard Stern — a man most people associate with strippers, porn stars and a rogue’s gallery of freaks and misfits — is making the riskiest move of his career.
He’s working to win the love of mainstream America.
“I want to do a good job for NBC,” Stern said at a press conference last week. “ ‘AGT’ is a family show, and I don’t want to alienate their audience.”
He had walked into the room to audio of “Hail to the Chief,” laughing softly, and this is a miniaturized version of his comic sensibility.

New York Strip Clubs: Ex-mob boss sentenced in shakedowns

PROVIDENCE, R.I. – The former New England Mafia boss was sentenced Friday to 5 1/2 years in prison for his role in the shakedown of Providence strip clubs, becoming the first ex-mob leader to be locked up in a case that has ensnared nine people described by prosecutors as having ties to organized crime.

Manocchio’s role in the extortion plot went back to the 1990s and netted $800,000 to $1.5 million in ill-gotten gains through protection payments paid by strip clubs, including the Satin Doll and Cadillac Lounge, according to prosecutors. Manocchio acknowledged at sentencing that his conduct was “unlawful,” but he maintained he did not personally threaten anyone.

Prosecutors said whether Manocchio explicitly threatened anyone “is beside the point.” Assistant U.S. Attorney William J. Ferland said that after a strip club owner reduced his payment to the mob, Manocchio visited him and informed the owner he needed to pay $4,000 a month.

U.S. District Judge Kimba M. Wood in New York held that the Facebook messages traded between a member of the proposed class and other nonparty dancers talking about joining the suit, are not protected by attorney-client privilege.
“Because these communications are…
