Richard Christy (born April 1, 1974, Fort Scott, Kansas) is an American drummer who currently works as a comedy writer on the Howard Stern Radio Show. He earned the position after winning the "Win John's Job" contest on July 1, 2004 * This contest was initiated after Stuttering John left the show to work as the announcer for The Tonight Show.

Christy has played in many bands such as Iced Earth and Burning Inside yet his work has been appreciated in Death and Control Denied as well. Christy joined Death after meeting their leader Chuck Schuldiner in a bookstore while Death were looking for a new drummer. He recorded 3 albums with Death (Critically acclaimed "The Sound Of Perseverance," 1998 "Live In L.A.: Death & Raw," 2001 "Live At Eindhoven" 2002) and one album with Control Denied The Fragile Art of Existence 1999.

Following Gene Hoglan's style, Christy's mastery of double bass technique and odd time signatures make him a standout drummer in a crowded field. His skills were honed while living in a storage garage over a period of years in Florida. Since there were no neighbors to bother, Christy could practice his drumming well into the night without the worry of someone calling the police.

During his first year on the Howard Stern Radio Show Christy is known as the guy who never has sex (he stated in 2004 that he had sex just once in the past 10 years). He has since claimed that he has had sex on numerous occasions due to his involvement with the show. A self-confessed pervert, illustrated by his extensive knowledge of pornography (in 2004 he stated that he had "about 40 gigs" of pornography), he has been beaten only twice playing the Stump the Perv porn trivia segment. The first loss was to famous pornstar Ron Jeremy, while the second loss was to a female writer for Xtreme Magazine, a pornographic industry publication. Christy also admits to having Friday night pleasuring sessions where he pours a glass of wine or several beers for the girl's pictures and video which he watches simultaneously on multiple screens. He is known to withhold masturbation during the week because it wears him out; instead he saves himself for these sessions. Ever since his makeover done by Howard Stern's girlfriend Beth Ostrosky, Richard has been having more success in his lovelife, as revealed by the abortion he paid for which resulted from a broken condom.

The cast of the Stern Show routinely poke fun at Christy's strong Kansas accent, lifestyle and upbringing. His father, a Vietnam veteran, hunts and catches wild animals for food, similar to rocker Ted Nugent, instead of driving 15 miles to a grocery store. During a July 2005 show, Christy announced that his dog, "Coon Dog," had eaten his favorite pet, a rooster named "Dumbass," back home on his father's farm. The cast of the Stern Show found this very funny. Christy's fondness for cheesecake and beer are also ammunition for jokes and ribbing by the cast. Christy also brings in messages to the show that his father leaves on his home answering machine, leading to laughter about how much of a Kansas redneck he is. More ribbing occurred on November 16, 2005 when Jeff the Vomit Guy, who appeared on the show as part of a contest where the first pornstar to vomit on him would win a trip to the AVN Awards in Las Vegas, caused Christy to vomit heavily all over Jeff after the contest ended. Richard vomited on Jeff the Vomit Guy again on May 24, 2006 after porn star Paris Gables vomited on him as well.

Christy is one of the main characters in the short film Supertwink: The Movie for Howard Stern On Demand, released in January of 2006.

On January 16th 2006, it was revealed on Stern's Sirius Radio Show (during a bit where cast members revealed secrets about themselves) that Christy had gotten a woman pregnant in the past year (due to his tendency to break condoms occasionally because of his large girth), and paid for her to have the child aborted.

On February 13th 2006, Christy had his private parts Brazilian waxed. He went through well over 15 minutes of torturous screaming, sounds which have now become part of the sound effects that Fred Norris plays on the show. At the time he said this is something he would never do again, but the following day he changed his mind and said he would indeed do it again. Howard made fun of Christy's penis saying there is no way that would require Magnum condoms.

Christy is known to collaborate with Sal the Stockbroker on many bits for the Howard Stern Show. This usually involves self-deprecating homosexual humor.

On May 15, 2006, Hillary Scott was the first ever guest on the Sirius Satellite Radio show Inside the Porn Actors Studio, which was hosted by Christy, the hour-long program was Sirius channel Howard 101's spoof of the television series Inside the Actors Studio, with Christy filling the James Lipton role.

In July 2006, Richard said he would allow a man to defecate on his chest and then wash it off with urine so he could win a television. The listeners decided which cast member's stunt was most vile and fortunately for Richard, he did not win.
