This.
I think he only keeps the show going because he feels an obligation to the staff.
He did go wacko leftist, especially during covid, after Trump was elected. But I think that was a byproduct becoming one of the "cool kids" and, thus, sharing their groupthink opinions. It's no coincidence he's close friends with Jimmy Kimmel. Both became famous for being crass, irreverent, sexists, and funny while doing so. Then once they got invited to the cool kids party they completely abandoned what made them likable to the public in the first place.
I mostly listen to Howard 101 which is mostly the "highlights" of the 40 or so years of the show. There are still a ton of funny moments from the past. Howard has mostly mailed it in. But there are still some funny bits from the staff

He went woke before Covid when mainstream Hollywood started to accept him. He seems to have an inablity to be happy and shats on folks that are but the Hollywood connections seem to keep his horse faced wife happy.

It’s it even mildly entertaining like it was in the early 2000’s?
Or is it a vax commercial every day? I have Sirius, but always listen to yacht rock.

He has not worked everyday in decades. He is averaging about 90–100 live shows annually under his current SiriusXM contract.

Doesn’t sound to me like it’s being canceled. He owns the IP to his own show. Sounds like he is about to find a different outlet.
Colbert got canceled. CBS pulled the plug on the entire franchise.
I haven’t listened to Stern in many years, but I’m sure that he can still make a killing selling direct subscriber access.

I was a regular (not daily by any means) listener during his satellite days. The show was great. He truly is a top tier interviewer.
Then when Trump came rolling in he started to loose it. Then Covid happens and he completely lost it.
To me it felt like as Jimmy Kimmel got sucked into the liberal / Hollywood world then Howard felt he needed to follow his friend.
I stopped listening during Covid and haven’t turned back.
He also has a ton more completion today with the amount of highly niche podcasts on the market.

He is a horrible interviewer. He never shits up, answers his own questions, and fluffs whoever he interviews, similar to Colbert.

Well, it's true in this instance. Stern went from irreverent "shock jock", which is what made him wildly popular, to preachy leftist. He changed what made him popular in the first place. Fans didn't want to hear preachy chastising. They wanted to hear goofing on the wackpack and funny bits.

he works 3 days a week lol
Posted on 8/6/25 at 10:11 am to Cell of Awareness
yeah he has been on a long and slow decline for quite a while
he fell in love with a thirsty woman and she tamed him to the point that he would annually fly out to Hollywood to take her on the celebrity rounds and he would talk endlessly about their cats and her rich lady cat rescue organization.
he signed the Infinity deal which gave him his first taste generational wealth and he was motivated and working hard for a while which lead to the first 5yr/$500mm production deal with SXM
so he moved to SXM which put his onair fights with “management” and the FCC behind him, but that was a big content driver for his show and he had nobody to fight with any more
the show became centered around one big interview a week, the mundane details of his rich guy life, long segments featuring mindless BS from the staff and discussing the news with Robin
he joined AGT which was a massive sellout and completed his move to become the corporate media shill he said he hated for so long
the AGT deal pushed him back from 4 days a week to barely 3 days a week on his radio show and he shifted by making at least one of the three shows the long form interview that they talked about on the other two shows
the guy has OCD but it was clear he had some insecurities but nothing really wrong with him. He starts seeing a therapist and he basically becomes an old Jewish woman on air with all of the fears and unreasonable obsessing over money and health.
thirsty wife + therapy for 20yrs + generational wealth and he changed completely. He was already well on his way to King of Wokeville when Covid hit, doing the show from his House in the Hamptons was the last straw for any cultural relevance. The Biden and then Harris interviews was the show hitting absolute rock bottom.
Ralph Cirella dying in 2023 should have been the end but he rode out the end of the last SXM deal that he probably should not have signed. He did another 5years to take care of his staff and that put him on the air for Covid which was a disaster for what was left of his reputation and legacy

he will negotiate a deal for SXM to use his archives for Howard 100 but that will probably be it
he is famously on the record as anti-podcast so i dont see him doing that but I can see him doing something like Letterman with a long form interview show somewhere
he has been talking about ending the live show for 10years, his debt to his staff is paid and it is long past time to hang it up
