Born Sandy (?) Korn, on Dec 26, 1966, in Westchester, New York, USA. Reportedly 5' 8", 38-24-38.

ACHTUNG STERN FANS: Yes, this is the site Howard Stern was both raving and whining about on Friday, March 26, 1999. Yes, I tried to contact the show, and yes, of course I would give Howard access to the pix he was after.


Back in the early 90s a girl I was dating started having me watch Howard Stern's channel 9 show with her. I had never heard of him before and quite frankly couldn't understand how this wasn't somehow connected with Public Access. Just how did this obnoxious, overgrown kid get his own TV show? Then Sandra Taylor (then called Sandi Korn) appeared on the set to prove to Howard that she did not in fact have the IQ of a wall. One look at her and I was awestruck. “Who the hell is that?” I thought. Now, for the first time, I actually started paying attention to the show. This is what I saw:

(From Howard Stern's book Private Parts)

Sandi is one of my favorite guests — great to look at and incredibly naive about simple world events. Her claim to fame on my show has been her remarkable inability to answer questions that any sixth-grader would know. Sandi told me Penthouse pets were smart and that she was practically valedictorian of her school.

“Sandi, what country did Saddam Hussein invade during the Gulf War?” I asked. Fred played some “Jeopardy” music as Sandi contemplated.

“Uh...what is...Jerusalem?” Sandi smiled.

Who gave a shit if the answer was Kuwait, Sandi was wearing a skimpy bikini. The lump in my pants grew heavier and thicker as I thought about tying her up and eating her for an hour...while I talked about world events.

“What political party is President Bush a member of?” I asked.

“I know he's either Republican or the other one...but I don't know. I would say Democrat.”

“Close enough,” I exulted. “What is the capital of New York State?”

“Albany.”

“What does the FBI stand for?”

“I don't know, I have no idea.”

“Where is it located?”

“It's everywhere!”

It was fascinating watching this mind at work. I decided to give her a hard one.

“What's in iced tea?”

“Water,” she said brightly.

“And?”

“Tea!”

We got such a great reaction to her quiz appearances that we decided to milk this thing for an entire segment on my TV show — the I Couldn't Get into College Bowl. So we brought Sandi back and had her match her intellect against a girl in the seventh grade named Jessica and a man with the maturity of a seventh-grader, Kenneth Keith Kallenbach, a charter member of our Wack Pack.

Suffice it to say that the seventh-grader wiped everybody out. Here's a breakdown of how Sandi did:


QUESTIONS SANDI WAS ABLE TO ANSWER CORRECTLY

  1. How many days in a year?
  2. Name an even number.
  3. What is a clarinet?
  4. What is Bush's wife's name?
  5. What does E.T. stand for?
  6. Who was the first president?

QUESTIONS SANDI WAS UNABLE TO ANSWER CORRECTLY

  1. What does ESP stand for?
  2. What country did the United States declare independence from?
  3. What substance do diamonds come from?
  4. Who built the pyramids?
  5. Who was the host of “The Twilight Zone”?


Of course, Sandi didn't do that badly compared to Kenneth Keith. He thought diamonds were a “substance unto themselves” and that Pete Rose was the host of “The Twilight Zone.” To this day, Sandi maintains she is intelligent. In fact, she wants to reaffirm that right here.

No matter where I go, everybody remembers that show. And it's weird because I am smart. I really am. But Howard asked me about the war and I was traveling around modeling so much I didn't keep track of things like that. I really could have sworn that we bombed Jerusalem because I have a friend who lives in Jerusalem and I'm sure he told me Jerusalem was bombed. But Jerusalem, Iraq — it's all the same, anyway.

I like Sandi a lot because of her honesty. She once revealed that Donald Trump came up to her apartment and got on top of her and kissed her and dry-humped her. Trump denies it, but it's a good story, anyway.


It was then that, like Hellen Keller in the climactic scene at the water pump, I finally began to understand The Howard Stern Show, and I've been a hopeless addict ever since.

Also sprach Golem.

From Korn to Taylor: Follow the Leader
As much as I love the Stern show, though, it always struck me as strange that apart from having fun with Sandra's extreme naiveté, Stern and his crew loved to goof on her weight. This is something I've never understood, but it's the consensus on the show that when Sandra Taylor was still Sandi Korn, she was a little too chunky to be a model. Even her name was laughably un-model-like, and on the show she was often referred to as “Sandi von Buttkorn”. At some point Sandi began to take the King of All Media's criticism seriously, and after a long absence from the Stern show re-emerged as the much transformed Sandra Taylor in time to plug her small role in Under Siege 2. Although a pop IQ quiz quickly revealed that the old Sandi Korn was still alive and well (“I'm back,” she laughed after a series of wrong answers), the new, fitter, seemingly bustier Sandra Taylor was a big hit with Stern and his crew, all of whom could scarcely recognize her as the tubby model they once knew.

But is Sandra Taylor really an improvement of Sandi Korn? You be the judge. Certainly the new and improved Clean-Cut Actress Sandra looks great, but it's the old Penthouse Pet/Stern Show Denizen Sandi that I remember most fondly, and browsing through her earlier pictures in the galleries here I'm still mystified as to how she became branded the “fat Playmate”. To each their own, I suppose. (Anyone looking to see more of Sandi's new wholesome incarnation can do so at her official site.)
