Stern can’t stand SiriusXM colleague Alex Cooper, the host of the podcasting behemoth Call Her Daddy, because of how big her empire has gotten, according to the U.S. Sun. The animosity runs so deep that SiriusXM works to keep them apart whenever the Los Angeles-based Cooper visits SiriusXM’s New York offices, according to the paper.

In August 2025, a rumor spread that radio host Howard Stern's long-running show was being canceled after many decades on the airwaves. According to gossip site The Sun the show, which aired on SiriusXM for around 20 years, was set to be canceled in late 2025 after the end of Stern's purported $100 million contract.
