What critics compared Private Parts to
A prime example of Roth's failed satire comes in the form of what many moviegoers will undoubtedly take as racist humor, but in reality is just a weak nod to Howard Stern's "My Niggaz" radio bit (Roth was a Production Assistant on Private Parts).
He garnered sympathy as Howard Stern’s put upon producer, Kenny Pig Vomit’ Rushton, in “Private Parts,” and stole the show as the conniving, arrogant filmmaker, Marty Wolf, in “Big Fat Liar.”
¢ Paul Giamatti, an overweight, balding character actor who, until last year's "American Splendor," was best known as "Pig Vomit" in Howard Stern's "Private Parts."
