Benjy from the Howard Stern show was caught by the lovely ladies over at the JJB forum trolling for booty on Craigslist New York. This is what his Craigslist ad said:
I am not George Clooney, Matt Damon famous…but I am pretty well known…chances are you have seen me in a movie or on a talk show.
I get stopped on the street pretty regularly. It has been a fantasy of mine to meet a hot stranger this way and have a hot tryst with her.
I mention my fame for one reason, I want this kept very discreet and you must be someone willing to keep it 100% discreet… I do NOT want to end up in the tabloids for it. (I have been in the tabloids before…but for nothing like this 
) Therefore, you must be very discreet…great if you are married.
I am staying in a very nice suite in a luxury hotel in midtown Manhattan…you can come here or if you are a reasonable cab ride away I can come to you.
I am NOT going to say who I am, on this ad…but I will tell you when we talk, and you will be able to verify it.
As for the basics, I tend to be on the dominant side in the bedroom. I love to tease a woman, spank her, take control.
I am handsome, white, brown hair, blue eyes, medium height, medium build.
On JJB board, the attitude was of disbelief, coupled with intense curiousity. The group quickly started looking for photos of a suitably cute girl to send to the mysterious C list actor (above is the one Benjy sent to them later in the game).
Since the ad says that married women can submit, it is decided that the fictional hottie will be a married woman named Stephanie who likes to be spanked. Then the email is sent. Benjy replies back with an eager email, a photo, and requests her phone number so they can talk more.
Now, board members were not eager to do that, but one volunteered her phone number. He calls her This is what she reported back to the board:.
Okay, I finally got him off the phone.
LOL
It sounded like he coughed a bunch before calling me — his voice was all raspy, like he was trying to make it sound deeper. image He refused to tell me what he’s been in, so I said “Well, tell me which talk shows you’ve been on. That’s not giving away your identity.” And he said “I’ve, uh, been on…. American radio shows.” image So I burst out laughing and said “Are you Rush Limbaugh?”
He said he was on Law and Order: CI. He kept saying he’s definitely 39, when I kept teasing him (ugh) and saying that he sounded younger.
He finally said he’s not an actor, but a writer. He said he looks like a “young Tony Soprano.” That’s when I was all “My husband’s home! Gotta go!” and hung up.
So, the big question is.. did Benjy ever get laid that day?
