Howard Stern is in the same sinking ship as Jimmy Kimmel. They both signed ironclad contracts so the only way their bosses can be free of these jerks is to kick their cans to the curb each summer and hire guest hosts at a cheaper rate.
Of couse with Howard, the point is to save money, so Sirius would not hire any guest host, they just lay off staff and have a guy hit buttons to air the show reruns.
As blogged about on June 23, 2026, Howard does not own his material, SiriusXM does, so that's why he can't just retire, because he will get a peanut portion of the reruns of the show tapes and he can't afford to quit.
So, here we go again with the Summer of Stern getting his PR-written articles printed across the Internet hoping to create a buzz during his summer kick-off season where he is kicked off the air by Boss Witz for two months and Stern is angry he is pushed aside. He is desperate for publicity - negative and positive - whichever plays better to the public, just so long as his name is printed somewhere because he can't stand to be ignored.
Post Writer Gets Key Points Wrong
In this particular opinion piece by the New York Post, the opinionater gets the premise of her opinion all wrong. Why? Well, it's written and/or sanctioned by Howard himself and we know his brains are scrambled.
A giant red flag that Howard writes these articles, is because only Howard compares himself with major TV stars when his TV career consists of unaired pilots and being canned by Simon Cowell.
Then, per the Stern script, the writer of the puff piece in the Post made sure to provide the history of Howard Stern, and brag about his big salary and she provided false information, lumping him with 'podcasters' when Stern is not a podcaster [ref: Beth Fan Page 10-22-25].
If Stern were a podcaster, he could've qualified for the new Golden Globe awards podcasting category but he's not so he couldn't. SiriusXM stars like Alex Cooper from "Call Her Daddy" was nominated because she is a big time podcaster, not Howard.
However, Andy Cohen has his regular talk radio show on Sirius as well as a podcast called "Daddy Diaries", something that is lost on these demented opinion pieces written in the Post and Andy is famous on Bravo TV for his multiple shows which Howard never had and never will.
Now Howard resurrected The Howard Stern Interview show but it's on PAY RADIO, not television. So again, Howard does not qualify to be critiqued alongside Jerry Seinfeld or David Letterman as this article from the Post dares to compare the radio deadweight Stern with TV celebrities.

Why Howard Stern should quit now and retain a little dignity,
rather than flogging his dead horse of a show any longer
By Kirsten Fleming
• "Stern is now 72. He’s been at it since the late ’70s and for decades he not only dominated radio and entertainment but managed to stay on the cutting edge. Now, in 2026, he’s just another voice in a crowded podcast space."
– Howard has never dominated anything but his underwear drawer, and he is not a podcaster. Plus, it’s not just now in 2026 that he is no longer cutting edge, Howard has never been on the cutting edge of anything but has been on the dull edge of obscurity forever. Kirsten must be joking with this garbage she is writing.
• "While other podcasters are on the ascent, unique viewers to his YouTube page fell from 4.5 million in June 2024 to 3.1 million last year."
– Howard is not a podcaster. See the Beth Fan Page dated 10-22-25 proving that Howard is not a podcaster. Howard is a talk radio show host covering various current event topics as well as a hodge-podge of bits and skits and some celebrity interviews all in one show, it is not dedicated to one topic or one theme.
- Howard is not a YouTuber. Only a few of the Stern shows are provided in full on YouTube but the YouTube channel exists so the public can sample CLIPS of Stern's material and decide if they want to subscribe to hear the full episodes. So Kirsten is actually saying that the views to his show clips are down, this is a dig at Sirius, not Stern, because Sirius owns Stern's material and decides on what clips to upload to YouTube. Stern is miffed that he does not own his material. See the Beth Fan Page blog entry dated 6-23-26 as proof that SiriusXM owns all of Howard's material, not Howard.
• "There are so many titans of entertainment who packed it in or shifted while they were riding high. Jerry Seinfeld famously turned down $100 million to produce another season of “Seinfeld.” And even David Letterman retired at 68, but comes out now and again with special projects."
– Howard is NOT a TITAN of entertainment. Only Howard thinks he is a titan, equal to celebs on TV like Seinfeld and Letterman. Howard is a talk radio show host and nothing more. How dare Kirsten equate Stern with Seinfeld and Letterman, they are hardly in the same ballpark, let alone the same league. Oh, but this proves Howard submitted these items to Kirsten mandating they be placed in the article.
- Howard is on a SiriusXM phone or computer app, not on television and he is hardly a titan of anything except inside his own confused mind.
Here is the link to Kirsten's full article filled with dubious facts and tons of falacies:

Beth Fans Already Knew Stern's
Schedule Could Be Reduced
On the June 23, 2026, the Beth Fan Page blog entry said this:
"But of course Howard finagles a peanut portion of the proceeds from the show reruns and eventually Boss Witz will whittle down his work schedule to only a few interviews per month with celebrities on press tours already traipsing through the Sirius studios."https://bethfanpage.blogspot.com/2026/06/howard-live-on-sirius-is-irrelevant.html
On July 14, 2026, Page Six said this:
"Howard Stern has laid off around a dozen staffers from his SiriusXM show, Page Six hears, because he’s preparing to drop to just one new show a week after Labor Day."https://pagesix.com/2026/07/14/celebrity-news/howard-stern-lays-off-a-dozen-staffers-preparing-to-drop-to-one-new-show-per-week/
Yes, pretty close there guys to avoid outrightly copying from the Beth Fan Page that already said Stern was getting reduced, not that it was his decision but SiriusXM's decision. That's all they can do really, is reduce his schedule because he signed a lifetime ironclad contract with that man in a dress Martin/Martine Rothblatt and Leon Black.
Howard can't be fired or his show canceled unless SiriusXM closes shop for good and runs and hides and fakes their death or Howard somehow violates his contractual agreement.
Like, hypothetically, if Howard hires a live-in assistant who can testify in court that he and his wife created a hostile work environment with shady business accounting practices and Howard allegedly prints a bunch of fake signed NDAs to cover his ass when his basement studio(s) are an official satellite office location for his satellite radio show employer SiriusXM with Sirius staff hired to maintain that remote office worksite. Yeah, then, maybe.
So we'll see if Howard will hide out at his Sag Safe Harbor House with Beth creating diversions everywhere wearing her stupid outfits jumping from one Hamptons D-List event to the other, like, look at stupid Beth bopping around and not at what Howard's plotting as he makes sure his passport is handy. Yeah, he might be broadcasting his little satellite radio show very shortly from Bimini. Then Beth can become a famous Bimini Beach model and bug everyone there to let her in some D-List events pretending she's famous.
Beth Posts old Unpublished
Phony Photos
As usual, almost none of Beth's IG photos can be verified as current. Most were taken years ago by Howard when he used to do a million photoshoots of the former D-List catalog model when she only posed for stock photo images and random catalogs for clothes that never need ironing.
But Beth frequently posts a bunch of random IG photos trying on different outfits and accessories that she is wearing nowhere, she is just doing her cat closet selfies and eventually might wear something to an event or Howard will shop around the photos to plug into some puff piece article he pays for to make Beth famous.
Stern MIA at Davis Funeral
Interesting that Howard Stern hid from his former buddy Clive Davis's funeral in the city, mainly because he didn't want that long drive from his Sag Safe Harbor house. But interesting how Howard has very old connections with shady people.

Blind Items Revealed #1

The one big thing that will be revealed after the music legend's death is how much he contributed to the death of the permanent A list singer. It is the same playbook he followed decades earlier with the alliterate singer and her death.
