While I was still in puppet school, and Howard Stern was still on WWOR 9 in New Jersey, one of Sterns producers called the UCONN Puppet Lab looking for a puppet to be made of Baba Booey, cheap. I'm the one that answered the phone. I made no money, but I love this puppet.

Just as I finished gluing on his mullet, Stern’s people called to tell me that Gary had just shaved his head on the show that day and the puppet needed the same haircut. So, he was a day late.
