In a week where Howard Stern and the SiriusXM Stern Show are catching up with a week full of losses, Stern paid tribute to Joan Marie Laurer a.k.a.

Chyna. Chyna died in the same week as Prince making for a pretty somber return to live shows for the crew.

"Robin said that Howard still hasn't done a tribute to Chyna yet. Howard said she came on their show many times. Howard said after the WWF she did reality TV and then got into porn after that," according to MarksFriggin.

"Howard said she had to change her name and battled drug abuse for years. Howard said she was on a graduate of the University of Tampa.

Howard said she was 5'10'' and weighed 180 pounds. She could bench 350 pounds. Howard said she called herself the 9th wonder of the world and Nicole Bass claims she stole that from her."

Stern told the listeners that the first met Chyna back in 1999 during her press tour for her Playboy spread.

Stern reminisced about her visit and talked about her singing "Holiday." He told listeners that on her return to the show, she laughed about the performance.

"Howard said she was on reality TV on The Surreal Life and on Celebrity Rehab.

Howard said she did some acting in some straight to DVD stuff. Howard said she claimed that Anna Nicole Smith came on to her in one interview," according to MF.

Stern touched upon the fact that Chyna got into porn and later on had a job of teaching English to Chinese people.

Her brain will be used for concussion research according to Stern. Chyna's death is still being investigated with suicide looking to be unlikely.
