Baba Booey! Baba Booey! Nerdist Channel! Baba Booey!
by Perry Michael Simon on June 5, 2012
The roster of luminaries at the Nerdist Channel is growing again: Please welcome Gary Dell’Abate, “Baba Booey” himself, to the Nerdist family.
You know Gary as the long-suffering producer of Howard Stern’s radio show, but there’s a lot more to him, and that’s what the new Nerdist Channel show They Call Me Baba Booey will be all about. Did you know that Gary has written extensively on audio and video gadgets and equipment for Sound and Video Magazine? Or maybe you’ve heard him show off his knowledge of pop culture trivia in those “Stump the Booey” segments on Howard’s show. That’s all going into the new series, which will feature Gary holding forth on the best new products, gadgets, and apps and on pop culture arcana from his own “man cave.”
The show’s being produced by Broadway Video Entertainment along with Nerdist Industries, and they’ve sent out a press release about it that includes a quote from Gary, who said, “I am very happy to be a part of the Nerdist family and channeling my inner geek with everyone there, and I am even more excited to join Chris Hardwick and Team Nerdist’s bowling team!,” and from Chris Hardwick, who noted, “In Gary’s other job, he is ridiculed for being an audiophile and a tech head. BUT NOT HERE AT NERDIST! We welcome him to our nerdly fold to work amongst his own kind, like Professor X welcoming a young mutant to the Xavier Institute.”
But wait, you say, didn’t Gary write a book? And wasn’t that book also called They Call Me Baba Booey? Why, yes, yes, he did. And to celebrate the launch of the new show, Nerdist News has three autographed copies to give away. You wanna win?

Mira Booey! Mira Booey! Big C’s Penis!!!!
That’s an awesome catch for the Nerdist Channel’s lineup! Welcome to the big leagues, Gary!
Guys…can you please, please break from YouTube tradition of throwing absolutely everything together in one channel, and create some way to subscribe (RSS would be fine) to shows individually? It is a huge pain in the ass picking through updates a channel with a massive output for the shows you actually want to see.
And don’t act all offended that I don’t love every single one of your shows – you’re adding more every week, and with that amount, wanting to watch “only” 3/4 of them is still a huge time sink.
I second jerodast’s request.
Welcome to the Nerdist industries, Gary! Haven’t heard you since Howard’s 92.3 K-rock days here in NYC! Well, there was that one visit to Boomer and Carton… Anyway, I didn’t know you were such a nerd! And here I thought your tech savvy was limited to sybians only…
@jerodast, you could go to the youtube channel click video, click playlists, and it’s all sorted channels in the playlist section. It takes like one minute to find whatever your looking for.
Techno Beaver.
What channel will this show be on? I have Fios in NY and can’t find Nerdist Channel.
Get this MORON off the NET
he’s a douche bag…………
