Self-proclaimed King of All Media Howard Stern revealed that his show’s co-host has been in a fight for her life. Robin Quivers is battling cancer, which he discussed recently on his SiriusXM radio show.
The duo has worked in radio together since 1981. The shock jock became emotional as he vulnerably discussed Robin’s ongoing fight.
Howard Stern and Robin Quivers spoke candidly on-air about her cancer journey
Robin was diagnosed with endometrial cancer in 2012. After surgery and 15 months of radiation and chemotherapy, she was declared cancer free. Three years later, in 2016, the cancer reoccurred.
Today, Howard spoke about her fight on their show, saying, “Let’s be honest, Robin, if I may speak for you, you needed a more flexible schedule. Robin’s also busy trying to save her own life with a battle of cancer and it does require a tremendous amount of her time. Like when she’s not on the air, she’s busy literally fighting cancer.”
He added that it breaks his heart to see a woman who loves to travel and do things be sidelined.
“She’s a go-getter, if you know what I mean. She’s a busy body, but she’s got to stay home, and she got to take care of herself. God forbid, anything gets into her body that could be a foreign agent. So she has really lived a lifestyle of perfection … but she’s still got to fight this goddamn thing, right?”
Howard’s update came on the heels of his contract renewal. This includes a shorter schedule designed for Robin’s cancer fight. Howard revealed that he was deciding on whether to stay at SirusXM before the new contract was finalized last weekend.
“It was me that was the problem with this contract,” Howard said, describing the negotiations. “I’m happy to announce I figured a way to have it all. More free time, and continue to be on the radio, I am coming back for 3 years. I’ve signed the deal. I was able to create a more flexible schedule.”
