Former “Howard Stern Show” staffer Jon Britt trolled fans with a glimpse of his new job after being fired from the SiriusXM program.
“So today is my first day working at Old Navy,” Britt said in an Instagram clip.
“It’s a different job than my last job, but it’s still a job. The first thing I learned was ‘Always Be Folding’ by ABF,” he added, referencing Alec Baldwin’s line ‘ABC Always be closing’ from ‘Glengarry Glen Ross’.
Britt continued talking as she folded her jeans inside Old Navy.
“I don’t know if I’m allowed to do this, but I’ll keep you posted on what’s going on here at Old Navy,” he said.
At the end of the clip, Britt jokingly asked the customer, “Hello, can I help you?”
He captioned his video, “#newbeginning.”
In the comments, fans pointed out that Britt was joking about working at Old Navy.
One fan wrote, “Coincidentally Brit rhymes with bit.”
Another fan said: “This is typical Brit and it makes me angry.”
Another commented: “I’m going to finish it off with some Old Navy buds. Congratulations on the rebound. Just kidding. I miss Britt already!”
Page Six exclusively confirmed earlier this month that Mr. Stern, 72, had fired about a dozen staffers from his beloved radio show. Sources said staff received the news via Zoom.
It was also reported that Stern plans to cut back to one show per week after he returns from summer vacation.
Staff will be sent home immediately after the call and will receive severance pay based on how long they worked for the network, Page Six has learned.
According to The Sun, Britt, who has been with the show for nearly a decade, was fired along with Benji Bronk, Mehmet Walker and Mike Trainor.
Mr. Trainor was the first former staffer to personally confirm the news.
“Here we go. My run on ‘The Howard Stern Show’ came to an end this week after 12 amazing years (forever!). I’m incredibly grateful to Howard and the entire gang for appearing on the show and I’m excited for what’s next,” he wrote on July 16th on X.
Last year, Mr. Stern caused panic when he announced to his staff on the night of Labor Day that he would not be returning to the airwaves as expected.
He reportedly skipped the episode due to “dissatisfaction” with contract negotiations.
When he returned for another three years in December, he said on the show: “I’m happy to announce that I’ve found a way to have it all.”
“I have more free time and can continue to be on the radio,” he added, explaining that his new contract gives him more “flexibility.”
Stern signed his first contract with Sirius Satellite Radio in 2004, earning him $500 million over five years.
