Howard Stern has dropped his lawsuit over the origins of ABC's much-maligned reality show "Are You Hot?"

The radio jock's lawyer, Martin Singer, filed a request for dismissal of the suit on Tuesday (Aug. 5) in Los Angeles. (You can see the document on TheSmokingGun.com.)

Stern sued ABC, producer Telepictures and others involved with the show in March, claiming "Are You Hot?" was a "blatant rip-off" of a segment on his radio show called "The Evaluators." The regular bit has Stern and his cronies examining a woman's body and telling her whether she could, for example, pose for Playboy.

The suit pointed out that Scott Einziger, an executive producer of the show with "Bachelor" creator Mike Fleiss, used to work on Stern's E! show. Former Stern sidekick Jackie Martling worked as a consultant on "Are You Hot?"

Terms of a settlement weren't disclosed.
