The fate of Howard Stern‘s SiriusXM show has been revealed: he has not been canceled!
Rumors have been circulating for a while now that the 71-year-old host’s show was being axed. He kicked off his Monday (September 8) show with a big gag that Andy Cohen would be taking over.
Andy himself made an appearance to kick off the prank, telling listeners, “This is, I know, not the voice that you expected to hear. This is not the voice that you probably wanted to hear, but it is I, Andy Cohen, and this is our first day broadcasting on Channel 100. I know that you’re expecting a big announcement from Howard, and this is not how things were meant to go.”
Eventually, Howard came on and revealed it was a joke.

“SiriusXM and my team have been talking about how we go forward in the future, they’ve approached me. They’ve sat down with me like they normally do and they’re fantastic. We’ve been talking,” he shared.
There were other rumors that he was “too woke” and that he’s mad that Andy Cohen has been promoted at SiriusXM.
“None of this is going on. None of it is true. Zero truth,” Howard said. “What pisses me off is now I can’t leave. I’ve been thinking about retiring, now I can’t.”
Another rumor is that he did not like that they hired Alex Cooper.
He added, “I don’t know Alex Cooper. And if she is young and bubbly, God bless her because I’m the opposite.”
Howard‘s five year long contract is said to be up at the end of 2025. Apparently, it’s worth about $100 million per year.
And here’s something you probably should not read while at work, regarding Howard and a few other celeb men!
