Howard Stern's hidden jab at Aubrey Plaza revealed after 'disaster' interview saw him accuse her of being late - before asking if she needed therapy

As a lifestyle expert with years of experience under my belt, I must say that the interview between Aubrey Plaza and Howard Stern was a classic case of mismatched energies. It’s not uncommon for some guests to struggle with the fast-paced, direct questioning style of shows like Stern’s. Aubrey, known for her deadpan humor and quirky demeanor, might have felt out of place in this setting, which caters more to lively, open discussions.


Aubrey Plaza’s first appearance on The Howard Stern Show was labeled as one of the ‘five worst ever,’ according to sources, who mentioned that Stern disliked every second of it. After their conversation ended, Stern subtly criticized the actress.

40-year-old Plaza was discussing her forthcoming movie Megalopolis, helmed by Francis Ford Coppola, on Stern’s own Sirius XM program on a Wednesday. However, the atmosphere became strained well before the actual interview commenced.

As a die-hard enthusiast, I found myself in a rather unusual situation when dealing with the radiant Parks and Recreation star, who apparently had a penchant for tardiness. I felt like I was tugging on a stubborn tooth, trying to extract something that just wouldn’t budge. The thought crossed my mind, perhaps she might benefit from some therapeutic guidance?

A source shared with DailyMail.com exclusively that Howard was extremely eager to speak with Aubrey, but unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned. Aubrey didn’t respond at all, making it quite challenging for Howard to get any sort of conversation going. It felt like trying to extract information from a stubborn person for him.

‘Howard is one of the best in the business and he couldn’t crack the code with Aubrey.’

According to the report, the actress portraying Grumpy Cat allegedly wasn’t cooperating with Stern’s line of questioning. It was also mentioned that back then, Stern might have criticized her harshly and concluded the interview.

However, he persisted in attempting to create something from nothing, but alas, his efforts did not bear fruit.

The television host subtly criticized Plaza during their post-chat discussion about Bad Company, a remark that might have gone unnoticed by many listeners.

Following Aubrey’s appearance on the program, the broadcast resumed with Bad Company playing, and Howard made some comments about the band. However, this discussion was subtly aimed at Aubrey, as she had been a disruptive presence during her time on the show, according to the source.

‘She just didn’t vibe with Howard, the show or anything. It was just a complete disaster.’

They mentioned that it’s highly unlikely for Aubrey to reappear on the show, as the probability is significantly low, almost non-existent. Additionally, her performance was poor, and he deeply disliked the way things unfolded in the end.

As a lifestyle expert, I found myself in an unexpected situation during my recent interview with Stern. The conversation began on a rocky note, as he pointed out my tardiness. However, I had to navigate the busy streets of New York City with a crutch due to an old ACL injury I sustained during the WNBA All-Star Game weekend in July.

Instead of directly asking if you’re upset, he tried to provoke a response by saying, “It seems like something’s bothering you; care to share?” or simply, “You seem distressed, want to open up?

‘It wasn’t her it was Howard,’ one user commented. ‘She needs someone to play off of like Conan or Fallon. Howard thinks his show is 60 Minutes now.’

As a lifestyle expert, I might rephrase that statement as follows: “It appears she’s feeling quite unstimulated by this format. It seems not everyone finds it appealing. I appreciate her qualities, but this particular setting doesn’t seem to be a good fit for her.

‘Anyone who expected this to go any differently doesn’t know who Aubrey Plaza is. Her entire thing is being that quirky awkward hot girl. Every interview she’s ever given has been awkward and stand off-ish,’ argued another.

Others claimed Plaza seemed annoyed at being in the studio while Stern did the interview by Zoom.

One person observed that she mentioned spotting a small display featuring his small profile. Essentially, if he’s unwilling to exert himself, then that’s what he’ll receive.

Another person concurred, stating that it’s quite a rude move for Howard to be absent from the studio, causing trouble for Sirius and their guest hosts. It might be time for him to consider retiring.

In a recent interview on Hot Ones Versus, the actress from White Lotus, famed for her dry wit, might not have charmed Stern, but she certainly captured many hearts, including Patti LuPone’s, as seen in the release on Tuesday.

As I savored a bite of the chicken wing, Plaza inquired about my experience. Instead of verbally expressing my feelings, I simply shrugged and laughed along with his jest that I might be “devoid of life.” To quell any further humor, I took a refreshing swig from my beer.
