Support Beetlejuice. Lester Napoleon Green (born June 2, 1968 according to Beetlejuice: May 33, 1929), better known by this stage name Beetlejuice (often abbreviated to Beetle or Beet), is a frequent guest on The Howard Stern Show and a member of Stern's Wack Pack. He has appeared in feature films as well as performed voice-over work. Beetlejuice has performed with various Howard Stern Show related comedians, including those that perform under The Killers of Comedy Tour banner. Beetle also has an extreme difficulty in repeating simple phrases. When asked a question, Beetle typically prefaces his response by asking, "Me?" or "Who Me?" On June 1, 2008, on a broadcast of "The Howard Stern Show", Howard 100 News reported that Beetlejuice was approaching his 40th birthday. The Howard 100 News Team also reported that they had contacted Beetlejuice, who was aware of his approaching birthday, but claimed that he was turning 34 years old and was born in 1936!
On a 2005 broadcast of the Stern Show, Beetlejuice was booked as an in-studio guest alongside Gilbert Gottfried. In this appearance, Lester shows extreme dislike and disgust with Gilbert Gottfied, saying that, "I don't know him, and I don't want to know em!" Making an instant classic among Beetlejuice appearances.
Music career
"This Is Beetle", also known as "The Beetlejuice Song", was sung by Beetlejuice for The Howard Stern Show in late 2004. The song was recorded by Stern show producer Richard Christy, who then wrote music to accompany Beetle's raw vocals and engineered it into the full song. The key lyrics to the song are "This is Beetle, he's bad as can and he knows he's the best." The song, which Beetle created spontaneously in the recording studio, has been covered by the rock group Staind, who included the song on special editions of their album Chapter V. On September 19, 2005, Blues Traveler played their version of "This Is Beetle" on The Howard Stern Show.
Initially, Stern was unable to broadcast this recording on his Sirius Satellite Radio program because CBS Radio owned the copyright to all of Stern's shows from K-Rock. Stern and his producing staff recreated many of the more popular segments from his days on K-Rock, but attempts to recreate "This Is Beetle" were unsuccessful. However, in May 2006, Stern, Sirius, and CBS reached an agreement to sell the rights for all his K-Rock broadcasts to Sirius, thus enabling Stern to play the song
