Stern Show Summer School went out with a bang on Wednesday as a lucky group of Stern Show superfans made the most of a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to go behind the scenes on their favorite show, tour Howard’s compound, and meet a litany of beloved on-air staffers during the 2025 Howard Stern Ultimate Fan Experience, broadcast live from the show’s SiriusXM headquarters.
Summer School hosts Gary Dell’Abate and Jon Hein emceed the second-annual celebration, which gave fans a chance to see firsthand how the show gets made before mingling with an assortment of staffers that included master pranksters Richard Christy and Sal Governale, puppet master Steve Nowicki, longtime producers Jason Kaplan and Derek Jones, larger-than-life personalities JD Harmeyer, Samantha Fontana, Benjy Bronk, Mike Pearlman, Jon Blitt, and more.
The afternoon was filled with unforgettable moments and wild surprises, perhaps none more rousing than the sudden and unexpected appearance of Sin City staffer Ronnie “the Limo Driver” Mund, who flew back to New York just for the occasion and received a standing ovation from excited fans.
