Within 90 minutes, however, the newsflash was revealed as a prank. After all, Stern has vowed never to marry again, he reminded cohost Robin Quivers reports People Magazine/.

The marriage announcement, he said, was a big, fat scam, in response to a false item in the New York Post about the supposed nuptials.

Stern also talked up shocking revelations about himself and his crew - the tamest of which involved one of them getting caught cheating on his wife and another's cosmetic surgery. But the answers to who did what won't be revealed until next Monday reports Seattle Times.

One welcome surprise was the addition of George Takei from the original "Star Trek" to the Stern family as the new announcer. Takei had been a listener favorite and the target of an infamous prank call on the old show. Today, the 68-year-old actor, recently out of the closet, proved great fodder as Stern and crew - not surprisingly - probed him explicitly about his sexual history and preferences.
