Summary

WABC Host Anthony Cumia calls in to discuss Howard Stern’s decline in popularity and influence. Cumia reflects on the tense relationship between his show and Stern, revealing behind-the-scenes stories of censorship, jealousy, and Stern’s demand that Opie and Anthony not even mention his name on-air. They criticize Stern for becoming elitist, out of touch with his audience, and politically partisan—highlighting his friendships with celebrities like Jimmy Kimmel and Jennifer Aniston. While both men acknowledge Stern’s groundbreaking role in radio, Cumia says Stern has “evolved into a real ass,” especially after backing Hillary Clinton and distancing himself from his earlier, edgier content. The interview wraps with praise for Cumia’s current work and anticipation for a future broadcast together. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
