Ever wondered what happens when a radio legend decides to mess with the media? Howard Stern just dropped the ultimate troll move that left journalists and fans in complete chaos.

In a wild morning stunt that could only be described as peak Stern, the shock jock pulled off an elaborate prank involving Bravo host Andy Cohen “taking over” his SiriusXM channel. Multiple media outlets scrambled to report that Stern was leaving his long-time radio home, only to discover they’d been completely played.

The Prank Heard 'Round the Media World

Cohen dramatically announced he was rebranding the channel as “Andy 100,” causing instant panic in media circles. Stock prices for SiriusXM even dipped momentarily, proving just how much power Stern wields in the entertainment landscape.

Stern’s Hot Take on Retirement

After revealing the hoax, Stern couldn’t resist poking fun at the media’s hasty reporting. “What pisses me off is now I can’t leave,” he quipped, suggesting the prank might have accidentally locked him into staying at SiriusXM. Classic Stern move: turning a potential headline into pure comedy gold.

The Real Tea

Despite the theatrics, Stern hinted that his relationship with SiriusXM remains solid. He described talks with executives as “fantastic” and emphasized he’s “very happy at Sirius”. The radio legend also took shots at recent media rumors, including a supposed feud with podcaster Alex Cooper, dismissing them with his trademark sass.

In true Stern fashion, he transformed what could have been a mundane contract discussion into prime entertainment, reminding everyone why he’s remained a media disruptor for decades. Who else could turn a potential retirement announcement into a nationwide comedic event?
