Hoawrd Stern BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Howard Stern, the 71-year-old radio kingpin, dropped jaws last week with his bombshell announcement of a three-year contract extension with SiriusXM, revealed live on his show around December 28. According to a No Intervals YouTube clip from that date, Stern crowed, "I figured out a way to have it all," crediting co-host Robin Quivers and the team while promising more iconic interviews when the program blasts back live on January 5, 2026. This juicy renewal torches months of tabloid trash talk from Murdoch rags like The New York Post and The U.S. Sun, which in August breathlessly claimed his 19-year Sirius run was kaput amid "woke" gripes and staff coasting—pure fiction, as Barry Ritholtz shredded in his Ritholtz.com post on December 30, noting Stern's audience dwarfs their bogus 125,000 figure by five to ten times.

Barrett Media on January 2 hailed it as proof media power's flipping to creators like Stern, who's now an untouchable enterprise amid deals for Charlamagne tha God and others. AOL.com buzzed that this pact might rescue SiriusXM's sagging subscribers yet again, while Ritholtz.com followed up January 2 praising the show's pioneering tech—like early video-on-demand that birthed today's influencer streams. No fresh public sightings or red-carpet struts popped in the last few days, but a sketchy YouTube upload titled "Howard Stern Show 1/1/2026" from Midu Megatron hints at possible New Year's activity—unverified fan clip, take with salt. Social chatter? Zilch major beyond extension hype on Instagram echoes from the Stern Show account. Older guests like Stephen A. Smith and Mad Dog Russo hit in January per IMDb, but that's not fresh. Ignore Netflix talk from Doois.com.br—it's labeled rumor and contradicts the Sirius lock-in. Stern's back, baby, ruling waves longer than ever.
