Howard Stern, once the King of All Media, is reportedly spiraling after rival SiriusXM podcast Call Her Daddy scored an interview with Kamala Harris before he did.
A source told RadarOnline.com: "This is the latest sign Howard is losing his grip on his mega-money deal as the face of Sirius.
"He was raging behind the scenes Kamala did Call Her Daddy first, and he’s now gripped with fear this could be the start of the end of his career."

The 30-year-old podcaster confirmed the news in an Instagram post: "THANK YOU @siriusxm DADDY GANG GET READY. WE ARE AVAILABLE EVERYWHERE AND DOING IT EVEN BIGGER IN 2025."
Cooper's $42million per year SiriusXM deal puts her earnings higher than any network television host.
The only media personalities who earn more are Stern and Joe Rogan, according to Outkick.
Stern, who became the face of SiriusXM when he landed one of the biggest deals in radio history in 2006, reportedly makes $80million a year. He signed a five-year deal in 2020, which is set to expire next year.
It's unclear if he will resign with Sirius or retire, but as RadarOnline.com previously reported, Cooper landing the Harris interview before him and her massive deal could suggest the platform is looking to draw in a younger audience.
Call Her Daddy consistently ranks in the top three podcasts on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube. It also draws in the lucrative 18 to 36-year-old demographic.
Immediately after Cooper released a clip of her surprise interview with the Democratic presidential nominee, 59, fans blasted her in the comments for getting too political on her pop-culture-focused podcast.
NEW: Kamala Harris’ appearance on ‘Call Her Daddy’ turns into massive flop as the YouTube segment barely received 100k views in the first 16 hours with mostly negative reactions.
