Howard Stern and Andy Cohen have made headlines once again.
On September 8, reports came about on the internet claiming that Stern quit SiriusXM after two decades, and the person to replace him was Cohen. However, these reports are false, and it was a prank by the two TV personalities.
The Instagram account of Stern’s show posted a clip from the episode, with the message:
“Andy Cohen takes over SiriusXM’s Channel 100.”
To everybody’s surprise, in the video, Cohen said:
“Well, good morning, everybody. This is, I know, not the voice that you expected to hear. This is not the voice that you probably wanted to hear, but it is I, Andy Cohen, and this is our first day broadcasting on Andy100.”
He went on:
“I know that you are expecting a big announcement from Howard, and this actually not how things were meant to go. There’s been a lot of talk about what’s going to happen with Howard. Is he fired? I don’t know how much I am allowed to say except that he’s not here and I am.”
According to The Associated Press, Howard Stern then joined Andy Cohen and broke the ice, thanking him for pulling the prank. The news comes amid tensions between Stern and SiriusXM with regard to his contract renewal. Stern said:
“Here’s the truth: SiriusXM and my team have been talking about how we go forward in the future. They’ve approached me, they’ve sat down with me like they normally do, and they’re fantastic.”

“I just want all of Howard’s fans to know you will have a home on Andy 100. There will still be a lot of Housewives talk, Bachelor talk. Oh wow, the phone lines are lit up.”
