I must admit, I didn't see this one coming.

Stuttering John Melendez, long time bit player on the Howard Stern Show, has left to pursue a job with "The Tonight Show". He's going to replace Edd Hall as the announcer of all things.

I must admit I still enjoy Howard Stern's radio show. I pick it up clearly from 92.9 WBUF in Buffalo and I've been listening for over five years now. Stuttering John, who's been on the show for 15 years, added something special. He will be missed.
