Howard Stern Returns to TV in 2026 on HBO Max

Howard Stern, a figure who defined media influence in the 1990s, is slated for a television comeback. His new program, The Howard Stern Show, will begin streaming on HBO Max on September 17th, with weekly episodes released on Thursday nights. This marks a return to a visual medium for the legendary radio host, who previously hosted a daily TV show alongside his highly successful radio career.

During the 1990s, Stern was a dominant force, earning the title "King of All Media." His influence extended beyond radio, encompassing a number one movie, "Private Parts," two New York Times bestsellers, and a daily television show. His frequent clashes with the FCC and acclaimed celebrity interviews kept him in the headlines, cementing his status as a major cultural icon.
