- The first thing he ever "promoted" on the Howard Stern Show was a made-for-TV movie based on he and wife Martha Raye's relationship produced by Aaron Spelling.
- On the Howard Stern show in the late 90's, he claimed to have met Rock Hudson around the time his (Mark's) mother was in the hospital. They were, according to Mark, only friends. Same goes for Liberace, who he met after Liberace supposedly learned about a play Mark wrote about him. This was all claimed by Mark on the same Howard Stern appearance.

- On an obit page for Mark's brother Sam, who died in 2013, a lifelong friend posted about Mark: "Mark Harris Bleefeld passed at the age of 69 in Las Vegas, NV. I grew up knowing Maxie, Bella, Sammy, Annette and Butchie (as Mark was called).".
- He appeared on the Howard Stern Show many times. He would tell Howard and Robin different ways he was going to become famous, from a cooking show, a game show, a line of furs, to various stage plays. None of these came to fruition, but ironically, having been on Stern's show so many times, he achieved a certain degree of niche fame.
- Has four children from a previous marriage and one adopted child who is his niece.
- Mark's forte on the Howard Stern show was bringing in various songs that were political parodies: his targets ranged from Bill Clinton to Newt Gingrich. Either his vocals were backed by a Casio-sounding keyboard "instrumentation" or played on the piano by Leo DeLyon.
- His website,is no longer an active official Mark Harris site, although it can be found on the Internet Archive (Wayback Machine) if you go back around 2008 and before, which was around the time it stopped running.
- Other than his reoccurring guest spots on Howard Stern, when Mark first married Martha Raye he did the Geraldo Rivera show and Phil Donahue. On Donahue he shared the panel with Milton Berle's wife, who was the exact same number of years younger to Berle as Mark was to Raye.
- Of all his self-described political satire tunes he either sang or played on the Howard Stern show, more than half used the instrumentation of the classic golden-era song "You Made Me Love You (I Didn't Want to Do It)". For example, in one about Bill Clinton (supposedly) not giving Martha Raye an award on time, the line "I didn't want to do it" was changed to "It's now too late, you blew it.".
- Other than bringing in songs to play on The Howard Stern Show, he would also share about his random plastic surgery procedures. A few times he even came in wearing decorative bandages since he was still healing.

- The television show that he had recorded around Europe and hoped would sell was titled "Phantom of the Kitchen". He'd visit various homes in Europe and the residents would cook for him, and Mark would made alterations and give advice since he considered himself an avid cook.
- On the Howard Stern show in the late 90's, he announced to be engaged to another older rich woman. Mark brought along his new psychologist, television personality Dr. Gilda Carle. She too advised Mark to wait to marry again so quickly. It turns out, Mark never did marry the older woman.
- Howard Stern had the most fun riling Mark's live version of the Golden Era song "How do you keep the music playing?" about Martha Raye. His vocal style was heavy on what they pronounced as a "warbling" sound vibrato, that Mark said was "natural.".
- He had a CD where he reads random emails, and answers them "off the cuff," and also created animation for his songs that he called Tooney Tunes.
- Mark Harris's Official Twitter handle was @talkingmoment1, and on Jul 13th, 2018, his last post read: "In the hospital waiting for heart surgery.. Therefore the boon Martha Raye.".

- One of the last ultimately-failed projects Mark plugged on the Howard Stern show involved (circa 2005) a cell phone company hopefully buying his satirical songs and cartoons (Tooney Tunes) for a low-ball price $2 million dollars, which doesn't count his future consulting fees. Stern told him, "I don't want you to waste your time... I care about you." As usual, Mark replied that he's having a great time, even when his projects don't come to fruition.

- On Mark's first interview with Howard Stern, Andrew Dice Clay called and chewed Mark out for, in his opinion, leaching off an old, dying woman (Martha). Ten years later, Mark and Andrew had made up, and even talked about doing a radio show together called "Famous and Andy".
- In the 1990's, when Jackie Martling was Howard Stern's head writer, Mark would appear on the show to promote himself and jovially weather a barrage of jokes thrown his way. Later, during the Artie Lange years when Howard was making a lot more money, Howard would act more sympathetic towards Mark, and advise him to stop promoting things that will never pan out.
- When Mark was a guest in the 1990's on Howard Stern, head writer Jackie Martling would annoy Mark by tossing wadded pieces of paper at him. At one point, Mark brought a giant squirt gun to "fight back".

- Vinny Favale, head of CBS Late Night Programming, was one of Mark's confidants, taking calls from Mark from Berlin, Germany when Mark would take what he called a "buttermilk bath", and also, Mark would share all his songs, the funny ones and the serious ones, with Vinny, who then shared them back to Howard Stern; Howard had initially introduced Vinny with Mark.
- Mark would always bring giant buckets of a soap called "Dusch Das for men" (from Germany) as a gift for Howard Stern and his staff.

- Mark Harris is/was officially a "Legend" of the Howard Stern program as stated on Stern's website.

- On his first interview with Howard Stern, talking about the lawsuit against Bette Midler's For The Boys (supposedly being about Martha Raye), Mark told Howard that he sang with Midler in 1969 before "dropping out", which he gave no clarification or explanation.
- On Howard Stern, Mark claimed to be good friends with actress Ruta Lee, who, he said, was trying to sell a "Gossip Show" while he was attempting to make a "Visit Show" as he called it, based on Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous, but with ordinary, common people.
- Mark had always told Howard Stern that his and Martha Raye's Bel Air mansion was destroyed by the 1994 Earthquake. It was later revealed in a letter by Mark's neighbor that it was Mark himself who hired construction crews to destroy, and then rebuilt, almost from scratch, the mansion, which took a year to complete, angering many residents from both the constant noise and the ruinous aesthetic.

- Mark wanted to take over Howard's airtime when he left for Sirius, and was going to do an audition show for Howard with his teenage daughter Rebecca; but having listened earlier in the morning, when Howard said he'd rather shoot himself than be Mark's kid, Mark kept his daughter in the car, refusing to have her in the studio.
- Howard Stern asked Mark what famous actor Mark was attracted to; Mark answered, Kevin Kline.
