As the new millennium pushed forward, Howard Stern dabbled once again with wielding his cultural power beyond his radio show. In 2002, he acquired the remake rights to the raunchy cult comedies "Rock'N'Roll High School" and "Porky's." Working as an executive producer for the projects, the films would also be released under the banner of "Howard Stern Presents," per Billboard.

This, Stern explained, would give the films a confirmation of quality to his fans. "It means something to them," he told the outlet. "They know I'm not going to be giving them any schlock." And he didn't — because the films never happened. In 2004, Daily Variety reported yet another doomed project involving the star. "Howard Stern: The High School Years," an animated series about the star's hideous teen years, never made it to TV (via UPI).

Regardless, it wasn't all false starts. In 2000, he executive produced "Son of the Beach," a fairly successful spoof on "Baywatch." While Los Angeles Times trilled that "you know the drill" with anything from Stern — "Babes. Lingerie. Sex jokes. Bad taste" — ultimately, the outlet noted that the show was surprisingly "good-natured" and "really, really fun." Unfortunately, the series was canceled after three seasons on FX, per IMDb – maybe the King of All Media was better off sticking to just the one media?
