Jackie â The Joke Manâ Martling  settles a few scores with  his  former employer Howard Stern in  his  upcoming memoir âBow to Stern.â The 69-year-old comedian recounts the excruciatingly drawn out negotiations over  his  contract at the end of 2000.
Martling admits that  he  was drinking heavily and knew that  he  wouldn't be able to quit alcohol if  he  stayed on the show. Also  his  marriage to wife Nancy was falling apart and the idea of announcing it on air was horrifying.
The Long Island native says that  he  was earning just shy of $578 000 and decided to ask for an average of $1 million over five years. K-Rock's general manager Tom Chiusano offered $611 000 and finally bumped it up to $650 000 although he admits he would have settled for $800 000.

 Martling  complains that Stern theatrically complained  âWhereâs Jackieâ that morning knowing full well that he wouldnât be in. That night they spoke on the phone but  Martling  writes: âI could tell as I spoke to him that his relatively new girlfriend was sitting there  because he was acting somewhat âon â and posing a bit. We weren't on the same wavelength.â
The crude comic admits that initially it was very difficult not being on the show and at least twice tried to accept the station's offer and return.  Martling  says  he  even wrote a heartfelt note after 9/11 telling  his  old boss that  he  thought the tragedy would be a perfect opportunity for  him  to return to the airwaves and bring some levity to listeners  but  he  was rebuffed.
Tellingly there are no photos of Stern or Robin Quivers in the book although there are photos of show members Gary Dell'Abate and Fred Norris. Troubled comedian Artie Lange who took over for  Martling  wrote the bookâs foreword.
