“It might be possible, we’ll see,” he said, adding: “They’d have to pay me a ton of dough because I already make a ton of dough.”

Stern’s five-year, $500 million contract with Sirius expires at the end of the year.

Responding to a television report speculating Fox would have to match his current annual salary, Stern replied: “A $100 million to judge a karaoke contest? Yeah, I would do that show for $100 million.”

I listened to only ONE of Howard Stern's radio broadcasts. He went on for at least a half an hour on his wife's period and how "disgusting" it was.

FOX will be making a huge mistake if they sign this sorry excuse for a man.

“A $100 million to judge a karaoke contest?”

Karaoke contest: That is kinda funny.

I have not watched the show. My husband did until this season when they brought Ellen on. Howard will not bring him back. And I will continue to find something better to do with my time - I need to start a quilt for my granddaughter.

FOX can’t find a career dance teacher or acting coach with a flamboyant personality, at a million dollars a season?

Gimmie a friggin break! There are several cities in the US where you could stand blindfolded, throw a rock, and hit a gregarious talent “developer”...Who have been critiquing wanna-bes for decades. Who would just *love* to tell people the unvarnished truth about their talent or lack of it. teachers who have a pent up desire to do so...without losing their meal tickets.

That he’s leaving at the end of the season to start the American version of “The X Factor.”

[ExTexasRedhead]

When Simon leaves, I quit watching.

[albie]

Actually, I thought Ellen did well this week.

[TexasCajun]

Remember, Simon Cowell sold his portion of Idol to Simon Fuller and a few others before the show came to America

Ahhhhh ...I didn't realize he wasn't the shot-caller.

[kidd]

My wife is an AI fan.
She thinks that the end is near for this show.

[BallyBill]

Only Don Rickles in his prime would be able to bring both contestants and viewers to tears.Till NOW

Count me in for the first episode.

[shiva]

I stopped watching when Ellen Degenerate joined the show.

I did too.

[Nevermore]

If they turn to Howard Stern they will have jumped the shark.

Stern and the god less group that work with him per mote abortion, homosexuality, perversion. They have taken their degenerate show to places Larry Flynt could only dream of. Stern traded for money in this life, I wd not want to be him when he meets God
