It wasn’t supposed to be like this.
A big, explosive controversy that’s impossible to ignore! A jaw-dropping confession that outraged his corporate bosses! Or maybe he’d finally suffer the consequences of speaking “truth to power” — and pay the ultimate price for refusing to back down! That’s how “The Howard Stern Show” was supposed to end.
This November marks the 100th anniversary of TS Eliot’s haunting poem, “The Hollow Men.” It’s a telling coincidence, for it foretold not just the fate of the world, but of a certain shock-jock: “This is the way the [Howard Stern Show] ends; Now with a bang but a whimper.”
This week, the news broke:

Never got the appeal of this guy. Life's too short to waste on jerks.

Now that Sirius xm no longer pays his 500 million dollar salary, they damn well better drop that monthly price

I would rather have my hair pulled out than be imprisoned in my car with arrogant boor Stern (I thought he was dead). We gave up Sirius's ripoff several years ago. I try very hard not to read boring Scott Pinsker,

He's 71 and been laughing all the way to the bank for most of his adult life.
Sad, pathetic end? He's still laughing.

Oh btw 2, if you go online and cancel, their chatbot will offer you a lower price several times (lower each time) until it finally gives up and cancels.
In the 6 months since I did it, they have sent me numerous email and USPO offering ever lower fees. I got one last week for $4/month for their full package. Tossed it of course.

There never should have been a beginning to this unfunny, arrogant, man of extremely low moral character.
His popularity was a stain on the character of a large portion of this nation.

He chose the wrong side. He lost.
Bu-bye, Howie.

You know the left will say that Trump forced him to be cancelled. The left is insane, but I really do hope they are right this time. Bwahahaha

Had to listen once when I was in the car with my boss who loved Stern.
I found it to be vulgar and offensive. Not funny but like a bully on the school playground.
He later apologized as he realized I was not comfortable with it being played out loud.

Am I the only one in the country that never listened to this guy? Sounds like I didn't miss much.

I cannot imagine ever listening to this wombat. He's a multi multi millionaire. So retire already Go far, far away and enjoy what is left of your life. I believe he is still scared sh**less over covid. I am hoping he will buy an island, enjoy sitting on the beach by himself wearing a face diaper. Jasmine Crockett can take his place. She is about as brainy as he is and has the verbiage down.

I always felt that the beginning and the entire middle part was also sad and pathetic.
Wish I could get paid for being a jerk. I already have the skill set.

Never saw the appeal of this guy. Guess his audience didn't see his appeal either.

No sadness here. I couldn't listen to this immature, sleazy, sex-organ focused, obnoxious teenager in a man's body for more than a minute at a time before I was spinning the dial. In my working years I had a coworker who had a personality lit Howard's and he listened to the putz at his desk every day. As Imus used to say, "he's a moron!"

Stern survived a long time serving the prurient interests of the ignorant males who listened to him.
In reality he was a pornographer.

I listened to him once... couldn't make it all the way through. The 'obnoxious factor' was off the scale!

I listened to his show for about 15 minutes. Couldn't stand it and turned it off. Then I saw a picture of him. That hair infuriates me just seeing it. I wish him all the misery and misfortune in the world.

I listened to Stern in his early radio days in D.C., and after he went national. He was funny and irreverant. Eventually, I tired of him and his vulgar jokes, and found a local (New Orleans) radio show that was much funnier, and never listened to Stern again. I never bothered to listen to his Sirius show. I had not thought of him in years until I read Sirius was dropping him. I won't miss him.

Howard Stern’s early successes proved that any celebrity can get rich appealing to the lowest common denominator in our society.
