The Mark Simone Show on 710 W.O.R.

Well, we'll get back to the mayoral race in a moment.

Howard Stern is staying. He's not going anywhere.

He was scheduled today to come back on the air, explain everything.

And he started off with a prank. He had Andy Cohen come on and say that he's taken over. Howard's gone. It's

going to be Andy 101. And then of course they revealed that we were just joking and then Howard came

on. I don't know. Is that a great prank? Is that the, I don't know, wake Andy Cohen up at six

in the morning or seven in the morning to do this. I don't know.

But he confirms he's back, not going anywhere, staying at Sirius.

You know, he had these contracts, $500 million contract.

They've been dropping through the years.

It was down to $120 million.

And then why it was practically a welfare case,

it was down to a $100 million contract. But no word on what the deal is to stay. I assume it's a big,

big reduction. When he went to Syria, he had 20 million people listening. The last report was 125,000.

So his audience has shrunk dramatically.

So salary had to shrink a lot.

It'll take a little while of asking everybody, asking around, figuring out what he's getting.

But expect a massive pay cut, any stang.

He went on the air to say that the good news with all these, he called them all fake rumors.

There was a rumor over the summer, he says, that Robin Quivers was dead.

Do you remember hearing that?
