Shock jock Howard Stern's show in jeopardy amid cancellation rumors in stunning move that's left staff blindsided
The future of Howard Stern 's 20-year SiriusXM radio show is in jeopardy as the end of his $500million five-year contract looms. Shock jock Stern, 71, has hosted the second incarnation of The Howard Stern Show since 2006, but a show insider confirmed to the Daily Mail that the host is in 'very serious negotiations' with SiriusXM on whether he will renew his contract. Stern's shift from having the most fearsome reputation in American entertainment to being what Kanye West described as an 'irrelevant old man' has been dramatic in recent years and he has faced backlash after admitting he was proudly 'woke'. The insider said: 'He may do a 1-2 year contract if they can meet him where he wants financially. He doesn't want to pull the plug on his employees like this.' A separate source said Stern was considering 'parting ways' with SiriusXM - and that his staff of 'around 95' writers and producers had only recently heard about Stern's indecision over the show's future. They added the star 'will likely sell his catalogue of shows to replay' on uncensored channels Howard 100 and Howard 101. Shock jock Stern, 71, has hosted the second incarnation of The Howard Stern Show since 2006, but a show insider confirmed to the Daily Mail that the host is in 'very serious negotiations' with SiriusXM on whether he will renew his contract - he's pictured with Madonna in 2015 'He is off in the summer but this year has been saying "maybe I should retire"', the source said. It is possible Stern could also return for specials with SiriusXM. The source claimed Stern was also displeased over SiriusXM 'leaning heavily' on fellow radio star Andy Cohen. Daily Mail has contacted representatives for Howard Stern, SiriusXM and Andy Cohen for comment and has yet to hear back. In 2023 after hearing claims that he's 'not good anymore' Stern declared: 'By the way, I kind of take that as a compliment, that I'm woke. I'll tell you how I feel about it. To me the opposite of woke, is being asleep. 'And if woke means I can't get behind Trump, which is what I think it means, or that I support people who want to be transgender or I'm for the vaccine, dude call me woke as you f*****g want.' The radio star's career fell from having 20 million listeners a day to to figures fans believe are as low as 125,000. He has predominately broadcast from his home over the past five years, citing fears over COVID-19. Dubbed the 'King of all Media' - Stern first launched The Howard Stern Show in 1986 on terrestrial radio. Stern decided to take on the challenge of pulling together interviews over the years where he was able to draw out shocking confessions. President Donald Trump has been on the show more than 20 times – calling in or being in the studio because he was willing to say anything. In 1997, he admitted to seeing a lot of women and when asked if he wore a rubber he said he hoped for the best. He also branded daughter Ivanka 'very voluptuous' in an 2006 interview. In 2019 book Howard Stern Comes Again the DJ confessed that his biggest regret is that he never got to apologize to Robin Williams after his interview in the early nineties. 'When Robin came on the show, I spent the entire time badgering him about how he had divorced his first wife and remarried his son's former nanny. I was attacking the guy, and he was justifiably furious with me', Stern writes. Stern only realized years later that he needed to apologize – after years of psychotherapy to understand his own narcissism that had prevented him from even considering what someone else might be feeling. Twenty years after the interview, he got up the nerve but it was too late. Robin died before Stern could make that call. 'I'm still filled with sadness over his loss and remorse for my failure to reach out sooner', he admitted. Kim and Khloe Kardashian came on Stern's show in 2009 and he admitted, 'I didn't understand their talent. I didn't even know if they had one.' So he asked Khloe about dating black men. 'Once you go black, you just never go back,' she said, admitting to only have dated black men. But Kim said Khloe's rule isn't' always true. 'She's only black guys, I'm not'. 'Maybe it's because we have such big a**es, like the black guys like,' Kim said. Both admitted to liking to be spanked, getting their hair pulled and talking dirty in bed. Stern hosted and produced late night television shows, pay-per-view events and home videos, and wrote three books, two of which sold over one million copies. He has become controversial for some comments he made over the years, including saying some of the girls running from the Columbine High School shooting were 'really good looking girls.' 'Did those kids try to have sex with any of those good-looking girls?' he asked on his show, about the shooters. 'They didn't even do that? At least if you're going to kill yourself and kill the kids, why wouldn't you have some sex? If I was going to kill some people, I'd take them out with sex.' In 1992 he also mused that the 'closest I came to making love to a black woman' was when 'I masturbated to a picture of Aunt Jemima on a pancake box,'. In March 1995, when Selena's fans reeled from her shooting he made fun of them, playing gunshots over Selena's music the day before her funeral and mocking Selena's fans with a fake Hispanic accent.

Jeffrey Epstein welcomed into Royal Ascot box with The Queen after Prince Andrew's invite
It's been revealed that the late paedophile rubbed shoulders with Queen Elizabeth in a fresh blow to the Royal Family's scandalous association with Epstein. Prince Andrew invited paedophile Jeffrey Epstein into the Royal Box at Ascot alongside the late Queen Elizabeth and the Queen Mother. The discovery that the late sex offender was previously in the company of Her Majesty and her beloved mother comes as an even greater humiliation to the Royal Family than was initially understood. A snap of Epstein, alongside the disgraced Duke of York and convicted teen sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell, while inside the highly protected royal enclosure, took pride of place in the paedophile's 'House of Horrors'. The chilling snap, taken on Ladies Day' on June 22, 2000, shows Prince Andrew alongside the American financier and the disgraced British socialite in an invitation-only area strictly reserved for members of the monarchy and their guests. The photo was uncovered during a search of Epstein's £60m Manhattan mansion, where underage girls were trafficked and abused. It was found in the residence's main corridor, surrounded by photographs of Epstein with other high profile figures including Mick Jagger, Sir Richard Branson and the Pope, the Mirror reports. However, insiders say that Epstein treated Prince Andrew's photo - taken at one of Britain's most prestigious royal events - as a personal badge of legitimacy and protection. A source said: 'This was no accident. That image was positioned to be seen. It was a clear statement of the access and influence Jeff had cultivated. "He had it positioned in front of pictures with some of the world's most powerful and rich men; that is what his friendship with Andrew meant. "Jeff wanted everyone and anyone to know he was connected to the royals. He joined Andrew on the day the Queen and her mother were there. He would tell anyone.' The Manhattan property, where the picture was displayed, was not only Epstein's primary residence but also where Prince Andrew stayed while visiting New York. Court documents, witness testimony and the royal's own words place the disgraced duke inside the house on multiple occasions. It is also where Andrew's sex abuse accuser, Virginia Giuffre, who took her own life in April 2025, claimed she had sex with the royal at the behest of Epstein. Prince Andrew repeatedly and vehemently denied her claims. In 2019, Giuffre, the former 'teen sex slave' of Epstein's, sued the royal for the sexual abuse she claimed to have endured in Manhattan. Facing a civil lawsuit in New York, Andrew decided to settle out of court in early 2022, reportedly paying Giuffre £12 million. The payment came without any confession but it led to Andrew being dismissed from the Royal Family, including all of his royal patronages and military titles. The Royal Ascot image of the trio has now raised fresh questions about the extent of Andrew's connection to Epstein. The event, deeply associated with the monarchy, is very controlled, and access to the Royal Enclosure is highly restricted. However, it is not the first time Epstein was welcomed into the royal fold. The Duke of York brought shame upon the Firm after repeatedly inviting him into the monarch's homes. In 1999, he was snapped relaxing with Maxwell at the Queen's beloved Balmoral residence, when the prince reportedly invited the couple to stay at the Scottish estate. Epstein also attended Andrew's 40th birthday celebrations at Windsor Castle in June 2000 at a formal gathering organised by the prince's mother, Queen Elizabeth. The event welcomed Epstein into the very heart of the British monarchy with Andrew later admitting the disgraced financier was there at his personal request. During his car crash 2019 Newsnight interview interview with Emily Maitlis, Andrew was directly challenged over Epstein's presence at the royal event. Maitlis said: 'He was your guest, as well, in 2000. Epstein was a guest at Windsor Castle and at Sandringham. He was brought right into the heart of the Royal Family at your invitation.' Andrew replied: 'Certainly at my invitation, not at the Royal Family's invitation. But remember that it was his girlfriend [Ghislaine Maxwell] that was the key element in this. He was the, as it were, plus one, to some extent in that aspect.' That same year in December 2000, Andrew hosted a private shooting weekend at Sandringham, the monarch's Norfolk estate, in honour of Maxwell's birthday. Epstein was once again on the guest list. When quizzed about this second gathering during the infamous interview, Andrew denied it was a birthday celebration, insisting: 'It was just a straightforward shooting weekend.' The revelation that Epstein was present at not one but now three high-profile Royal Family events, all as Andrew's personal guest, raises further questions over the extent of the relationship between the Duke and the paedophile, who was later convicted of sex offences involving minors.

Balmoral, Windsor Castle and Sandringham are all private royal residences which are not typically open to outsiders without explicit invitation. Epstein's invitation to such venues on various occasions, particularly one hosted by the Queen herself, proves the level of trust and social acceptance he had within Andrew's inner circle at the time. Epstein was initially convicted of procuring a minor for prostitution in 2008 but remained socially active among the elite for years after it. Investigators believe he used his connections to shield himself from scrutiny and prosecution. Epstein was arrested in 2019 and indicted on child trafficking charges, but took his own life as he awaited trial.
