Good. Well deserved. As far as I’m concerned the show officially died in 2015 when he interviewed one of his archenemies Ellen DeGenres and yucked it up with her. Anyone who had listened to Howard over the years fully knew what a scumbag she was well over a decade before the press reported on it. Richard, Sal, and Baba Booey should have walked right the frick out then and started their own podcast and would probably be much richer and more important today had they done so then.

This scumbag also demanded that the unvaxxed be banned from hospitals (an opinion also said by his BFF Jimmy Kimmel) and pretty openly wished death upon half the country.

I love that when Imus died that Howard bragged that he was mentioned in all of Imus’ obituaries but that Imus would be mentioned in none of his. Oh how wrong you are, Howard. Any honest obituary of you will mention Imus several times. This is the final line of a truly honest Howard Stern obituary: “In the end Howard became what he always despised; he became Don Imus.”

I really hope Trump or Rogan say that this week about Howard, because he should take it about as well as Joe Pesci did being told by Frank Vincent to go home and get his fricking shinebox.

Do you know anyone who listens to Howard or watches late night television? The only ones with any audience left are Greg Gutfield and Bill Maher, and those two are supposed to be political, unlike the others.

There’s no way they make any money, so of course they’re paid propagandists to keep the dumbest among us in line, namely retarded Boomers whose brains have been turned to mush by MSNBC, CNN, Fox News, NPR, NYT, Wash Post, etc.

Because they’re Boomers and refuse to go away.

I always see people in the comments say how great of an interviewer he is, but IMO he is the perfect example of a terrible interviewer because he never seems to sit back and let his guests talk.


I used to think that, but the key to Howard able to fool his audience that he was that is that he was the only person in radio or television who could speak with a guest uninterrupted for an hour without commercial breaks. People like Rogan figured this out and just expanded it for hours on end. Opie and Anthony could as well to an extent, but it was more them bullshitting with their buddies in comedy.

Stern was great when he was at his peak. Private Parts book and movie and so on.

But like an aging rock star, he lost his edge. Moving to satellite radio did him no favors.

Well Howard made it political by saying that he thinks that all the unvaxxed should be banned from hospitals and deserve to die (as did Kimmel and Chomsky). They fully revealed themselves to be genocidal Nazis, so they can frick off. I wish mental anguish upon these scumbags, but they’re sociopaths to where that’s not going to happen.

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


I think the only podcast he’s been on is Conan’s, but this is probably the single most poorly aged clip from the 2010s where he mocks both Rogan and Ari Shafir thinking that they can make money from podcasting, saying that you must first be a shock jock at say like New Haven Connecticut and make your numbers there before making money in broadcasting.

My response “Yeah, Howard, why would I do that and limit myself to say a million ears tops when I can broadcast myself from London to Los Angeles to Perth for nearly free and simultaneously? How about I skip that dumb shite of living in a shite hole and no one listening.”

Howard has been desperately trying to bury this for years, back in 2014 and aged about as well as Hillary’s “Happy Birthday to this Future President” tweet:

He has always dabbled in direct subscriber access. For instance there was Howard TV which was a pay per view or subscription for cable subscribers. He also did Pay Per View Specials.

Now with the internet you could say he could go independent and stream his own direct to consumers.

Part of me wants to think he wants to retire and go off into the sunset, or this could be a big ole publicity stunt to drum up his next move especially in the wake of the Colbert firing. If I recall Howard’s people or even himself have leaked the threat of leaving to the media as leverage for him to negotiate his next deal. He can be very public at times when renegotiating a new deal.

But as with anything, sometimes people just don’t know when to quit. It is best to leave when your up, but then there are times you run yourself into the ground and straight into the grave.

If he wants to continue the show, I bet he could find between 100,000 and 1 million people in the English speaking world that will pay $9.99 a month.

I won’t be one of them, but that would be my guess.

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
You know way more than is healthy about late career Howard Stern.
