Howard Stern remains at SiriusXM despite recent retirement rumors.
The radio show host announced that he was coming out on Monday morning after first trolling fans with the help of Andy Cohen.
Cohen, 57, first aired, and said, “I know I’m hoping for a big announcement from Howard. This isn’t how things should go.”
He expressed regret over not doing “clean handoffs” and “something that has wings” during the “surreal morning.”
Cohen, who said the channel was called “Andy 100,” said he “cannot fill the gap (at the stern)” and was convinced that the 71-year-old would soon land another network.
Stern took over and thanked Cohen for taking part in the gag.
An Instagram user commented on mixed feelings about “a roller coaster of emotions,” admitting that he was “bore in the whole mental breakdown and (her) kitchen.”
Another Cohen praised Cohen for being “very good and incredible” in “great.”
However, others blasted the stern saying, “I’m nauseating… I scream for caution.”
Stern’s representatives did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Page 6.
Last month, reports surfaced that the Shock Jocks show was in danger as it approached the end of its $500 SiriusXM contract.
However, Daily Mail claimed that the rumors of the shooting were a “hopeless hoax” to boost Stern’s reputation and keep him “related.”
SiriusXM president Scott Greenstein said at a meeting Wednesday that he “loves” him to stay.
“It certainly needs to make sense, but we feel that we’ve done this before is pretty good,” he said last week. “Let’s see where it goes.”
Additionally, SiriusXM CEO Jennifer Witt said at the time that they were “confident” talents (they get to the right place).
Speculation continued to swirl when Stern was scheduled to return from summer vacation last week, but unexpectedly cancelled.
He dealt with this on Monday and claimed he was ill.
Stern signed with SiriusXM in 2004, and in January 2006, “The Howard Stern Show” debuted.
