It looks like the market is drying up for unfunny and unspired daily attacks on Howard Stern. CBS decided to not only cancel Stephen Colbert, but they are ending late-night “comedy” as a genre. Now the streets are talking and, allegedly, the next to be cancelled is Howard Stern. Or, Stern is quitting. It depends on what rumor you want to believe.

Stern’s overpriced contract is due up at the end of the year. It wasn’t always overpriced, but Stern used to be relevant. I honestly don’t know who the Howard Stern audience is in 2025 other than jorunalismers when he attacks a politician he doesn’t like, and those of us in the content hustling industry who have thoughts on the matter when he does so.

From here, it’s a Choose Your Own Adventure. The Daily Mail says he is thinking about quitting.

Shock jock Stern, 71, has hosted the second incarnation of The Howard Stern Show since 2006, but a show insider confirmed to the Daily Mail that the host is in ‘very serious negotiations’ with SiriusXM on whether he will renew his contract.

Stern’s shift from having the most fearsome reputation in American entertainment to being what Kanye West described as an ‘irrelevant old man’ has been dramatic in recent years and he has faced backlash after admitting he was proudly ‘woke’.

But according to The U.S. Sun, “Bye-Bye Booey,” the plug is being pulled on him.

“Stern’s contract is up in the fall and while Sirius is planning to make him an offer, they don’t intend for him to take it,” one insider said of the impending end to the shock jock’s latest five-year contract.

“Sirius and Stern are never going to meet on the money he is going to want. It’s no longer worth the investment.”
