HOWARD Stern devoted almost his entire show yesterday to the death on Tuesday of regular guest Hank the Angry Drunken Dwarf.

It is believed that Hank – whose real name was Henry Nasiff Jr. – died from complications related to his alcoholism.

“People always asked me if we tried to get him to stop drinking, and I said all the time we did, but you couldn’t,” Stern said.

“I understood why he drank. If I was a dwarf and I had everyone goofing on me all the time, I would have been a drunk.”

Nasiff has been a regular on the Stern show for years. He typically appeared unshaven and inebriated and sometimes even went out of the studio dressed in a pink bunny suit to harass celebrities.
