Howard Stern Took the Day Off & the Internet Went Ballistic!
Can’t one of the busiest guys in show business take a personal day? Apparently if he does, the Internet will go ballistic with concerned fans.
The SiriusXM host allegedly has never taken a personal day (according to fans), but this week he went off the air without any explanation.
The absence was announced as a “personal day” on Wednesday, and catapulted a slew of Reddit threads building conspiracy theories around it — some cried marriage troubles, other cried IRS trouble.
One Reddit user even said, “Just this year Howard said the only way he’d cancel a show is if a parent died.” Another one reminded everyone that Howard poked fun at his 93-year-old father on Monday’s show and wouldn’t do that if “he was on his deathbed.”
Other said he was in a bad mood on Monday, which might be related to the day off on Wednesday.
I have listened to the #HowardStern show since the 80s… NEVER canceled a show before! I am very concerned about the reason.
