The nickname given to Howard Stern’s Producer Gary Dell'Abate. It originated on The Howard Stern Show on July 26, 1990, after mispronouncing Quick Draw McGraw's sidekick Baba Looey as "Baba Booey". The rest of the crew busted his chops mercilessly. Speaking to Howard at the end of the show, Dell'Abate said, "I think we've taken this as far as it will go." Howard Stern replied, "Gary, we've only scratched the surface of this." Dell'Abate is still Baba Booey to this day. "Baba Booey" is also a mantra for the fans of The Howard Stern Show.
