During his hosting gig for the 2016 Emmy's, Jimmy Kimmel gave one of the biggest "hit 'em with the Hein" phrases that is a Howard Stern SiriusXM radio show staple.

Jon Hein took notice and already spoke Kimmel's name as a nod of respect.

"Howard said he thought Jimmy Kimmel did a very good job with the Emmys last night. Howard said he wished him good luck over the weekend.

He said it has to be nerve racking to do that," according to a MarksFriggin rundown.

"Howard said he knows he was working on that monologue forever. Howard said Jimmy sent it to him and he thought it was funny as hell.

He said he liked the masturbation joke about Game of Thrones. He said he told Jimmy he liked that and that's all he contributed to it. Howard said he bets the show did well."

Stern also pointed out that Kimmel gave out the biggest "hit 'em with the Hein" ever. Sarah Silverman took the throne for the biggest Baba Booey but Kimmel stole the show with his Stern Show nod.

"Howard played a clip of Jimmy getting in the line toward the end of the show.

Howard said the odd thing is that Jon Hein thanked Jimmy for it over Twitter. Howard said Jon has an explanation for that," according to MF.

"Howard said Jon feels when Jimmy did it he meant it well but when Jason does it he means to make fun of him. Howard said Jon still doesn't like it.

Jon came in and said it is the intent that matters. He said Jimmy meant it in a nice way and Jason doesn't."

Well it looks like these Stern Show phrases are beginning to pop up everywhere. What's next? The MTV VMA's perhaps?
