Howard Stern did a bit with Andy Cohen while confirming that his SiriusXM show has been renewed.
Howard Stern is continuing his SiriusXM show.
The radio icon, 71, faked out his fans while confirming that “The Howard Stern Show” is returning on Monday morning.
Following reports that Stern wasn’t returning to his show, he brought Andy Cohen on for a staged bit where he played into the rumors.
“I know you’re expecting a big announcement from Howard and this is not how things were meant to go,” Cohen 57, said, adding that it’s been a “surreal morning here.”
“There’s been a lot of talk about what’s going to happen with Howard’s deal. Is he fired? I don’t know how much I’m allowed to say, except that he’s not here and I am,” Cohen continued. “Howard was supposed to start the show today, and this was supposed to be something of a cleaner handoff. There is nothing clean about it. Here we are. I’m kind of winging it.”
The “Real Housewives” producer claimed that he was taking over the channel with his new show, “Andy 100.”
“I can’t overstate what Howard has meant to this company and what he did for SiriusXM,” Cohen said.
