Roseanne Barr Blasts Howard Stern As A 'Shill' After SiriusXM Prank, Exposing Where 'He Went Wrong'

When Howard Stern pulled a prank about his SiriusXM cancellation, he ruffled many feathers, most notably those of Roseanne Barr, who ridiculed him with the rumors. 

However, Barr is not keeping quiet about it. The former “Saturday Night Live” co-host went on a fiery rant against the radio personality, attacking both his reputation, his political stance, and branding him a sellout.

While Stern has brushed off the claims that his long-running series was axed, his future on the radio remains uncertain, leaving his employees uneasy about what lies ahead. 

The “Roseanne” star has now fired back at Stern after he roasted her during a recent appearance. “Howard Stern still having a hard time realizing he is a p-ssy now,” the 72-year-old comedian wrote in a tweet on X. 

“Maybe one day, before he really quits, he will realize where he went wrong shilling for fascists and pro-cancel culture. He used to be a bastion of free speech, and now he's a shill,” she added.

Yet in an unexpected twist following her harsh words, Barr also came to Stern's defense after a fan chimed in that the radio host “always sucked.” Countering the insult, Barr wrote, “To be fair, Howard Stern is still the greatest whoever did it.”

However, she quickly doubled down on her criticism, adding, “He's a boot licking p-ssy now.” According to Barr, Stern has been swayed by outside influences, something she insists would never happen to her. 

The stand-up artist concluded her statement, suggesting the only way she could welcome Stern back as a friend would be if he rejected those influences and returned to his old self.

Barr’s scathing comments followed a few days after Stern addressed when she poked fun at reports of his exit.

Barr posted an AI-generated photo of Stern and Stephen Colbert, whose own show has also been canceled, holding hands on the beach in matching bikinis, per Page Six.

Speaking to his listeners, the on-air icon went after Barr, saying, "I didn't know I was on Roseanne's list, but she posted a picture of me with Stephen Colbert in bikinis as women. Because I guess we're big p—ies?”

He continued explaining that he had different political views from Barr and calling her a “f-cking weirdo.” He added, "What happened to her? She's completely gone, right? I mean, like, what's her deal?” suggesting the Golden Globe Winner had lost it. 

Speculation about the end of Stern's career had fans on edge, but he pulled a fast one to stir things up. For his September 8 return, Stern didn't appear on-air right away; instead, the first voice listeners heard was Andy Cohen.

According to The Blast, the “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen” host greeted the audience with a somber tone, claiming he was taking over the broadcast, leaving some fans upset by the "takeover."

Stern soon burst on-air, revealing it was all a playful performance and reassuring everyone that his gig with the network is very much ongoing.

Following the tease, Cohen confirmed whose idea it was, crediting Stern himself. Per The Blast, the talk show host said Stern had masterminded the whole thing and he was only the wingman. 

He also admitted to enjoying watching news outlets like Variety and the Associated Press jump on the story of Stern’s departure. 

While enjoying the prank, Cohen couldn't help but notice fans' reactions, observing that they were either highly entertained by the joke or frustrated at the thought of losing one of their favorite radio personalities.

Amid ongoing questions about Stern's departure, the real turmoil is unfolding behind the scenes, with The Blast reporting that his workers are increasingly anxious about job security.

"People are panicking. Many employees who work there have a family to take care of, have kids, have a mortgage payment, and this is their main source of income," a source disclosed.

The informant added that the tension has been building for a while, as the workers are scared they could lose their positions at any moment.
