Howard Stern Returns To SiriusXM Radio Show After Trolling Listeners

The development comes after weeks of promos promised a big reveal following swirling speculation that the popular host's show would be canceled.
NEW YORK (AP) — Howard Stern, the popular radio host who gave a massive boost to the nascent satellite radio business when he signed a blockbuster, multimillion dollar contract for SiriusXM almost two decades ago, has returned to the airwaves after trolling listeners with a gag.
Stern, 71, who evolved from his shock jock origins to become a respected interviewer, enlisted a flustered Andy Cohen at the top of his show Monday. “This was supposed to be a cleaner hand off. I’m kind of winging it,” said Cohen.
Stern then came on the air and thanked Cohen for agreeing to do the bit.
Stern joining what was then Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. in 2006 made him one of the highest-paid personalities in broadcasting and was a game-changer for both the company and the industry. His importance was highlighted on the SiriusXM homepage — tabs included For You, Music, Talk & Podcasts, Sports and Howard.
The development after weeks of promos promised a big reveal following swirling speculation that his show would be canceled. “The tabloids have spoken: Howard Stern fired, canceled,” one promo video said. “Is it really bye-bye Booey?” Speculation grew after Stern postponed his return from a summer break to “The Howard Stern Show” last week.
