Howard Stern says he’s never actually spoken to Oprah Winfrey.

Andy questioned if The Oprah Winfrey Show host was Howard‘s last remaining “foe” or “enemy.”
The media personality quickly refuted that claim, saying that he “loves Oprah.”
“I follow Oprah. I enjoy watching Oprah,” Howard continued.
But he also admits he’s never spoken to her and thinks she might be “afraid.”
“I know Gayle King very well. And I think at one point she suggested, ‘Oh, we should get together with Oprah.’ I said, ‘You better check with Oprah. You better. Don’t surprise her with me,’” Howard told Andy.
The reason for the Watch What Happens Live! host’s assumption probably stems from a moment a few years ago when Howard slammed the Greenleaf actress’ lavish lifestyle.
“Oprah’s not embarrassed by her wealth at all. She loves showing it off on Instagram. It’s f–king mind blowing you when you follow her on Instagram, you see her estates, her gardens, the people who service her and, you know,” he said in 2022, according to The Wrap.
Howard sort of addresses that in the SiriusXM interview by saying he likes how she is sometimes “so unaware.”
“Maybe she is aware, but I suspect, I’m an Oprah follower, but sometimes she’s unaware of the sort of way she shows her wealth,” he finished.
Howard was one of many celebrities who recently spoke out in support of Jimmy Kimmel during his suspension controversy. See what he said here.
