I used to like this guy in the 90's but he seems to have turned into a real loser later in life
quote:
"...Despite his dinner with the host of A-listers, Stern insists he wants to remain a hermit due to his COVID consternation and called the outing “exhausting.”
“I really had an exhausting weekend, emotionally, physically,” he said on his radio show Monday. “For the first time in two years I ventured out of the house.”
He continued about the dinner, “It was too much for me. It was too much. I haven’t been out in two years.”
Stern explained that Kimmel invited him and his wife, Beth Ostrosky, to the outing, and while Ostrosky was excited by the offer, Stern was skeptical.
“I said to my wife, ‘I don’t want to go, I’m in a panic, I don’t want to get COVID.'”
Adding that he and Ostrosky were vaccinated, Stern continued, “I know our president has told us the pandemic is over and everyone is walking around without masks … I still just don’t want to get COVID.“
Stern has previously described himself as being “super paranoid about diseases and germs.”
...Stern admitted to the talk show host on his show in November 2021, “For me, [COVID] is still going on and I haven’t left my house. I can’t figure out how to integrate myself.”
He continued, “I’ve been locked up so long and I haven’t gotten COVID. I’m afraid I’ll be the one a–hole who gets COVID and I’ll die. Even though people don’t seem to be dying that much [anymore].”
I’m afraid I’ll be the one a–hole who gets COVID and I’ll die.
No great loss.

I have long thought that he was mentally ill. This dates back to his comments about Nancy Kerrigan and Tonya Harding. No sane person would make the comments he did, even for the sake of humor.

At best Stern has OCD. He also appears to have paranoid ideation and social anxiety. He could afford the best psychologist money can buy and there are plenty in NYC. He used to talk about his OCD. Stern was intelligent but never as brilliant as Howard Hughes. His adolescent humor does get old.

Once he got remarried he turned into an ultra liberal. You would think 30 years and millions of dollars in therapy would have made him better but he’s a disaster.
He used to make fun of Don Imus and he has become a worse version.This message has been edited. Last edited by: 1s1k,
I followed him during his hay-day, like Jim Rome, they got successful and believed themselves to be more important than they really are. His self-quarantine act has reached comical levels, sad thing is the comedian community hasn't touched this one ...yet.

Howard Stern is the biggest hypocrite in the entertainment world, nobody comes close.
This is a guy who did a completely about-face, 180 degree turn in material, "beliefs", and attitude in his professional career. A guy who was adamantly pro police now supports BLM. He has actually apologized for his past storied career, and past humor, and is now a part of the leftist mainstream celebrity culture he used to hate and make of. He used to be buddies with Trump, now he hates him. His old sidekicks from his show are flabbergasted at his transformation.
Stern is a big nothing now, his original fan base abandoned him years ago. IMO, he was far more tolerable 30 years ago than his present persona, what a total commie insufferable douchebag he has become.

Amen. That's what drove me away. Listing to him rant about over reaching big government through the 80's and 90's, only to hear him turn into "we need even more, bigger government" in the 2000's. That was enough.
Howard, if you’re a member here. It’s over baby! The Big Guy has declared!
"The pandemic is over," he said. "We still have a problem with COVID. We're still doing a lot of work on it. But the pandemic is over. If you notice, no one's wearing masks. Everybody seems to be in pretty good shape, and so I think it's changing, and I think [the Detroit auto show resuming after three years] is a perfect example of it."

What I can't understand is why anybody'd give a flyin' frack about Stern, or anything he says or does.
