Beer pong isn’t about to replace baseball as the great American pastime, but Howard Stern’s staff is doing its best to make it the most appealing drinking game ever.

Howard TV On Demand may have found the perfect formula for making beer pong, a college-party staple, the great American drinking game. Your eyes do not deceive you. As you can see from the photos here, Howard TV has come up with the best-ever development in drinking games—stripping! What’s better than combining hot women and their bare boobs with beer and balls?
Strip beer pong works like a standard game of beer pong, with a welcome twist: three pink “strip cups.” If a player sinks a ball in those, the opposing team’s stripper has to shimmy out of an article of clothing. Hit all three and the stripper bares almost all (full nudity is above the waist only). One team emerges victorious at the end of the sexy single-elimination tournament.
But, first things first: You might think that putting this tourney together would be as easy as buying beer and plastic cups, and hiring some strippers. The fine folks at Howard TV, however, especially producers Lee Gerowitz and Mike Gange, take their topless team sports seriously. Seven ladies from Rick’s Cabaret were brought in, while a male dancer was partnered with Tracey Millman, the office manager for Stern’s radio show. While executive producer Doug Z. Goodstein checked out the set, Becky made sure the Ping-Pong balls were of the highest quality, Sky tested the tables to make sure they were sturdy enough for a rousing game—or pre-game workout—and segment producer Jason Kaplan warmed up with a spanking from his partner, Rosy.
Once things got started, the competition was fierce, and Shuli, a comedian and reporter for Howard 100 News, quickly realized he had the best announcing gig in sports. Everyone has been in fine form, and the erotic dancers are happy to strip when their opponents earn it, but they’re still in it to win it. Ronnie “the Limo Driver” Mund tried to take the prize, literally, by attempting to abscond with the trophy, but once it was his turn to play, even he gave it his all.
To catch the players in action—and out of their clothes—tune in to Howard TV this month (see HowardTV.com for info). We think this topless tourney will result in new extracurricular endeavors for even the teetotalers out there (assuming there are any).
