Lester Green (born June 2, 1968 to Lester Pinard and Mama Juice), better known by his stage name Beetlejuice (often abbreviated to Beetle or Beet), is a frequent guest on The Howard Stern Show and a member of Stern's Wack Pack. In 2015, the Howard Stern Show named Beetlejuice the greatest Wack Packer of all time. He has appeared in feature films as well as performed voice-over work. Beetlejuice has performed with various Howard Stern Show-related comedians, including those that perform under The Killers of Comedy Tour banner.
Beetlejuice is a dwarf, standing about 4 feet 2 inches tall. He also has microcephaly, which gives him his characteristic small head relative to his already small body. He had to be taught how to bathe himself by his manager while working on The Howard Stern Show. Lester's nickname was given to him by children in Marion Garden projects in Jersey City, New Jersey, where he lived with his sister Lisa. The children used to pick on him because of a scene in the film Beetlejuice featuring a character's shrunken head.
On the October 2, 2007 broadcast of The Howard Stern Show, Jerry O'Connell revealed that he knew Lester while he was growing up. O'Connell's mother was Beetle's special-ed teacher, and Beetle was such a good student that he did special work as her "assistant".
Beetle is managed by former boxer Bobby Rooney. Prior to Bobby, Beetle was managed by Bobby's brother Sean Rooney, Beetlejuice's original manager who died in July 2009. Beetle moved to Georgia circa 2012.
"This Is Beetle", also known as "The Beetlejuice Song", was sung by Beetlejuice for The Howard Stern Show in late 2004. The song was recorded by Stern show producer Richard Christy, who then wrote music to accompany Beetle's raw vocals and engineered it into the full song. The key lyrics to the song are "This is Beetle, he's bad as can and he knows he's the best." The song, which Beetle created spontaneously in the recording studio, has been covered by the rock group Staind, who included the song on special editions of their album Chapter V. On September 19, 2005, Blues Traveler played their version of "This Is Beetle" on The Howard Stern Show.
