He also got candid about Robin Quivers' health. “I’m happy to announce that I’ve figured out a way to have it all,” he said. “More free time and continuing to be on the radio. So yes, we are coming back for three years. I’m excited about it, because you know what? I do still love radio.” He continued, “Let’s be honest, Robin, if I may speak for you, you needed a more flexible schedule. Robin’s also busy trying to save her own life with a battle of cancer and it does require a tremendous amount of her time. Like when she’s not on the air, she’s busy literally fighting cancer. She’s a go-getter, if you know what I mean,” Stern added. “She’s a busy body, but she’s got to say home, and she’s got to take care of herself. God forbid, anything gets into her body that could be a foreign agent. So she has really lived a lifestyle of perfection … but she’s still got to fight this (expletive) thing, right?” Robin Quivers opens up about dealing with cancer, says it's "hard": Read more Penn Live has reported that Howard Stern's recent announcement comes after months of rumors that his company was set to sack him, and that his employees were on the lookout for a new job.
