Point it, parts of his show have become overly consumed by virus-talk. Of course, those who disagree with him have either abandoned the show or 'hate-listen' just to call in and argue. Nor do they think his level of isolationism is all that healthy or, more importantly, entertaining. Even though more than half of Howard's fanbase completely agree with him about the importance of vaccines, masks, and distancing when necessary, they don't always want to hear about it. While Howard's germaphobia was once a source of great comedy on the show, it's now become somewhat exhausting.

Howard, admittedly, spent too much time talking about Trump, albeit far more so than when he was first running for office. Even though about half of Howard's fanbase loathes former President Donald Trump nearly as much as he does, they don't always want to hear about it. There's a reason why he remains one of the wealthiest and most successful entertainers of all time.įirst and foremost, Howard's politics have caused issues with the fanbase. And the fact that he can still balance off-color humor and complaining with some really dynamic personal discussions is truly astounding. His interviewing skills, which have been developed throughout this change, are undeniable. Aside from losing some of his more stubborn/old-school listeners, Howard's creative and personal changes have been welcomed.
And we're not talking about the 20+ year evolution from shock jock to a renowned interviewer. There's been a lot of changes to The Howard Stern Show in recent years. Is The Howard Stern Show ending or is there a major format change afoot? That's what fans are really anxious about and Ronnie, Shuli, and Gary's life changes seem to have triggered it. And there's no doubt that with Shuli Egar's not-so-secret departure and both Ronnie 'The Limo Driver' Mund and Gary 'Ba Ba Booey' Dell'Abate selling their homes, fans are worried.Ī Number Of Changes Have Fans Concerned That The House Sales Are A Sign Of Something Big To Come And these followers are very vocal when they see something's amiss. Not only do Howard's staffers get handsomely rewarded for their work on the show, but they also build followings. Those who surround him all become caricatures of themselves for the sake of entertainment.
That has been part of the genius of Howard's 40-year career. Unfortunately for The King of All Media, the staffers on his show have become extremely famous, despite the sometimes medial jobs they perform.

Any other show or business would get a similar consistency of raised eyebrows.
It's not unreasonable to be suspicious when you see multiple staffers from NYC-based Howard Stern Show list their New York/Connecticut properties.
