When the Howard Stern Show moved to satellite in January 2006, Bronk continued in his role as an in-studio joke writer. After Martling left the show in early 2001, Bronk continued as an in-studio joke writer with Norris. In 2000, Benjy was given an in-studio seat next to writers Jackie Martling and Fred Norris, writing on-the-spot jokes for Stern as the show transpired. He eventually earned a paid position conducting pre-interviews of show guests and gathering articles for Robin Quivers' news. Benjy BronkД«orn in 1967, Bronk began working on The Howard Stern Show as an intern in 1998, at age 31. Norris also provides impersonations of show regulars, celebrities and others.

Norris' current role on the show is to provide sound effects, organize and direct commercials and live reads, and occasionally perform writing duties. Norris is married to Allison (nГ©e Furman) and they have one daughter, Tess. The 'Earth Dog Fred' nickname originated in Washington, as Norris replaced an engineer nicknamed 'Earth Dog Brent.' Although Stern left shortly afterwards, Norris stayed at WCCC until joining Stern and Quivers at Washington, D.C.'s WWDC in 1981. Norris would work the overnight slot, after which Stern would host the morning slot. Of the show's staff, Stern met Norris first, in 1979, when the two worked as disc jockeys at WCCC in Hartford, Connecticut. These people currently sit in the studio throughout the entire broadcast. These staffers currently work for and appear on the show on a regular, if not hourly basis.
