As rumors continue to swirl about Howard Stern’s potential retirement, fans of the legendary radio host are buzzing with speculation about the “unfinished business” he might want to address before signing off the airwaves for good. Long-time listeners and Stern show insiders have discussed several key issues that they believe Stern might tackle, adding fuel to the fire of anticipation.
One of the most talked-about topics is the return of Scott Salem, a former engineer on the Stern show who has been notably absent in recent years. Fans are eager to see if Stern will bring back Salem to resolve any lingering issues or to give the popular staffer a proper send-off.
Another hot topic among Stern devotees is the possibility of finally airing the long-awaited pay-per-view event with adult film star Lexington Steele. This event has been a subject of discussion for years, and many wonder if Stern will push to get it on the air as one of his final bold moves.
The speculation doesn’t stop there. There’s also talk of Stern orchestrating a controversial on-air stunt involving show regulars Richard Christy and Ronnie Mund, which would be in line with the show’s history of shocking and outrageous content. Additionally, some fans are clamoring for a tribute to the late Eric the Actor, suggesting Stern might “dig up” his legacy with a symbolic gesture, such as placing balloons on his coffin—a reference to one of the many wild moments involving Eric on the show.
Finally, there’s buzz about Johnny Fratto Jr., son of the late mob-connected regular Johnny Fratto, potentially tracking down Jerry, another character from the show’s extensive roster of eccentric personalities, to settle old scores or wrap up loose ends.
While there’s no official word from Stern or his team on whether any of these events will come to fruition, the speculation underscores the deep connection fans have to the show and their desire for a fitting conclusion to the radio icon’s storied career. Whether Stern addresses these topics or not, his potential retirement is sure to be a monumental event in the world of entertainment.
Fans will just have to stay tuned to see how Howard Stern chooses to close this chapter of his career (Wikipedia) (Howard Stern).
