That's the type of dedicated worker Howard truly is.I’m of Generation X, and so is my husband. In order to make his contract renegotiations go smoother, and live up to his word, Howard decided to throw in the extra February 15th, 2021 show for free. And yet, Sirius still thought it necessary to bring it up in negotiations and guilt him for it. The radio and bestselling author had to explain to Sirius that he took the day off because he wanted to protect himself and his crew because he had no idea what was going on. "Like a p****y I took a day off because of the worldwide plague that was occurring," Howard said. But up until that point, everything was 'chaos'. Not long after, Howard was able to set up a home studio where he could broadcast without the potential exposure to COVID-19. "I thought told us to stay home!" Robin said. "This 'day off' that I had was just a complete f***ing washout," Howard said. This turned out to be the right decision as New York state started its quarantine phase on March 12th, the day that Howard was scheduled to go in and do his show at SiriusXM. Therefore, Howard decided to pull the plug on the show.
as was the rest of the world who, at that time, knew very little about what the global pandemic could mean and just how the illness was spread. Ultimately, Howard and most of his crew were freaked out. Related: Why Howard Stern Sought Advice From Author Fran Lebowitz Some people wanted to come in, I was getting nervous to come in." This was when a once-in-a-lifetime pandemic occurred. 'Should we go to the studio? Should we not go to the studio?' Well, anyway, we were all set to come in and then everyone said it was really dangerous. And I think what happened was that we were completely in confusion. It was right at the beginning when you heard about a pandemic and then it hit you, 'Oh, f*** this thing is serious!' So, it was a Tuesday and we were supposed to do a show on Wednesday. Probably about March, somewhere between the 8th and the 11th, somewhere in that time frame where COVID was going on. "What happened was, it was right in March. Apparently, Howard had called off a specific show back in March 2020. When Howard found out about his missing show, he was shocked and asked management to explain it to him. The reason why he was unhappy that Sirius brought the topic up was because of the reason why Howard missed the show.
Howard was supposed to honor the contract. The fact that the people at Sirius brought this up clearly disturbed him, but not because it was unfair in the negotiation process. Don't worry about it'", Howard said in a slightly disingenuous voice.
Howard explained to his audience that he and his agent did a little bit of digging and saw that he indeed missed one of his 112 scheduled shows per year.

And then suddenly somebody said, 'Ya know, you didn't deliver all the shows last year that you were supposed to deliver.' And I went, 'What!?' I mean, I am the most honest guy." There were some words, nothing hostile but words going back and forth as negotiations will. "In the middle of the negotiations to bring the show back, bring me back. You know, we signed up for another five years ," Howard explained to his audience, as well as Robin who authentically didn't know why she had to work on President's Day. "It was tough getting out of bed this morning, this should've been a day off," Howard's longtime co-host, newswoman, and best friend, Robin Quivers said. And you're saying, 'Howard, what are you doing on the radio on President's Day?'" Howard began. On February 15th, 2021, Howard surprised his fans when he aired a live show on President's Day, a stat-holiday that Howard has always taken off. While he's continuing on with The Howard Stern Show, he had to record a makeup show. But they weren't happy with him when Howard was recently renegotiating his contract for another five years. In short, the man made the company what it is today. While Howard lost some of his fans during that time period, he gained far more and earned Sirius (now SiriusXM Pandora) over 30 million subscribers.
When Howard joined Sirius in 2006, he was already in the process of personal and creative growth. While Howard's radio show has been on, in one form or another, for over 40 years, the most notable evolutions of his show have taken place on Sirius satellite radio. It's reasonable to claim that his steadfast focus on becoming the best in radio has made him one of the richest celebrities in the entertainment business. The man is absurdly dedicated to his craft. Legend Howard Stern has a work ethic like practically no other broadcaster.
