Howard Stern Leaves His House For the First Time In Two Years to Have Dinner With His Swanky Hollywood Friends -- and Then Complains He Was Afraid of Covid The Entire Time

You may wonder, but no, this can't be the first time he left his home in two years. Surely he goes in to the studio to do his show...?

Nope! Like his hero Joe Biden, he hides in his basement:

The radio legend and his wife, Beth, have had little to no interaction with the outside world since March of 2020.

Howard Stern may go for his walks, and he may have flown from one of his insanely gorgeous properties to another, but the radio legend simply hasn't reintegrated back into society since the pandemic started in March of 2020.

Despite most of his friends, including his best-buddy Jimmy Kimmel, having found ways of getting "back to normal" as the severity of the diseases wanes, Howard is still cooped up at home. In fact, he and his wife Beth have had little to no contact with anyone for years.

...

The fact that Howard Stern has been broadcasting his acclaimed radio show from his basement since March 2020 has been a source of great aggravation for some of his fans. While many were thrilled that he continued his show during the lockdown, Howard received criticism for not going back to his New York City SiriusXM studio when he was allowed to do so.

Howard didn't go back into his studio with COVID precautions nor has he since basically all restrictions have been lifted.

This has drastically changed the dynamic of his show, which used to thrive on behind-the-scenes office in-fighting and brilliant one-on-one celebrity interviews. Doing everything over Zoom simply doesn't have the same effect despite there still being moments of gold.

...

For all of 2020 and most of 2021, Howard and his wife Beth completely cut themselves off from the world. They socialized with no one, not even outside. And anyone who had to come into their house (i.e. work-people) had to be tested and/or wear hazmat suits... At least, according to Howard.

...

During various shows at the end of 2021 and throughout 2022, Howard has admitted to seeing some family and some close friends. However, all have taken place either outside or in his home. And to get into his home, guests have to be tested.

Howard's bestie, Jimmy Kimmel, and his wife Molly claimed that in order to stay at his house for a few days in the summer, they had to be tested twice. On top of this, they weren't allowed to leave the compound. If they did, they weren't allowed back due to possibly being exposed to COVID.

There's more at the link.

So this sad derelict of a "man" finally left his house. And he was, of course, miserable.

'I really had an exhausting weekend, emotionally, physically,' Stern said on his radio show on Monday. 'For the first time in two years I ventured out of the house. It was too much for me. It was too much. I haven't been out in two years.'

...

'I know our president has told us the pandemic is over and everyone is walking around without masks...I still just don't want to get COVID.'

Your president just told you that. My president told me that a while ago.

...

A year ago, Stern admitted that he was still trying to 'figure out how to integrate myself' back into society as pandemic restrictions began to ease.

Kimmel had apparently been trying to get Stern to leave his home for a while and reportedly told his friend he was 'worried that we're going to lose you from society because the longer this goes on, the more comfortable you get in that little world.'

How perfect is it that that other asshole, fellow Covid Lunatic Jimmy Kimmel, is his "bestie"?

If anyone has wished ill on Howard Stern: Howard Stern's twisted mind already has got that covered.
