He then realized, he said, that after watching three more episodes of Girls, "Not only am I addicted, but I totally get you. I'm in love with you and your character...So I came in and said to Robin, on the air, ‘I changed my mind. I love the show. And I love Lena and I love what she's doing with it.'"

"It's not about apologizing," he added, "although I want to say I'm a fan of yours...I love you and I think you're terrific."

Stern had also talked up Dunham's scheduled call earlier in the morning, saying, "I have an opportunity to say, 'Hey, Lena. I watched your show and I hated it at first, but I stuck with it and now I love it. That's the story. And, yeah, I was disturbed by you naked, and now I like when you're naked. I don't know, I had a change of heart."
