In a dramatic escalation of a simmering celebrity feud, television host and radio personality Andy Cohen has launched a blistering counter-attack against radio 'King' Howard Stern. The war of words erupted after Stern publicly dismissed Cohen's SiriusXM radio show as profoundly 'boring' during his own broadcast.
Cohen, the executive producer behind the Real Housewives empire and host of Watch What Happens Live, did not hold back in his response. During a candid segment on his own SiriusXM channel, Radio Andy, he characterised Stern's critique as a blatant act of bullying.
'It's just so tired,' Cohen stated emphatically. 'He's such a bully... You're the king of radio? Great. Then be the king of radio. Why are you worrying about me? It's just boring.'
The public spat offers a rare glimpse into the competitive world of satellite radio, where both giants command loyal audiences on the same platform. Cohen expressed his frustration, suggesting Stern's comments were a deliberate attempt to undermine his success and credibility.
He went on to defend his interviewing style and the content of his show, which often features intimate and free-wheeling conversations with A-list celebrities, contrasting it with Stern's famously prepared and structured approach. Cohen implied that his own show's spontaneity and fun should not be mistaken for a lack of substance.
This isn't the first time Stern has taken a swipe at a fellow broadcaster. His history of on-air criticisms often generates headlines, but a direct and impassioned clap-back from a figure as prominent as Cohen is less common. The entertainment world is now watching closely to see if the King of Radio will respond to this fiery retort, potentially igniting a full-blown media feud.
