The Wack Pack is the name given to a wide assortment of regular guests of The Howard Stern Show. As a parody of the Rat Pack or Brat Pack, they were often as memorable as Stern's regular airtime celebrity guests. Wack Packers tend to be unusual in some way, such as blatantly racist, mentally disabled, sexually deviant or having a comical voice or appearance. Not every regular guest is considered a member of The Wack Pack, nor are staff members like Robin Quivers, Fred Norris, Gary Dell'Abate, Artie Lange, or the now-departed Stuttering John.
Some Wack Packers appear to serve as cautionary figures; for example, with every appearance, Crackhead Bob would effectively remind Stern's several million listeners of the dangers of crack cocaine, while Joe Cancer would be a powerful testimonial to the evils of tobacco. Jeff the Drunk and the deceased Hank the Angry Drunken Dwarf seem to reinforce the value of moderation.
