Legendary actress and activist Jane Fonda returned to the Stern Show and joined Howard for a deeply personal yet universally relatable conversation touching upon everything from partying with Marilyn Monroe and lusting after Marvin Gaye to the looming threat of climate disaster and life’s never-ending search for purpose. Indeed, the 82-year-old entertainer, author, and cultural icon was an open book, which is fitting considering she just published a mobilization manual of sorts called “What Can I Do? My Path from Climate Despair to Action.”

Steve Martin and Martin Short joined the Stern Show together for the first time, following the release of their latest hit collaboration, “Only Murders in the Building.” Howard was excited to welcome each legend back to the show and eager to learn more about their long friendship. He was also curious how Short had convinced Martin to come back to stand-up.

Actress, comedian, producer, and all-around entertainment icon Rosie O’Donnell returned to the Stern Show for a wide-ranging interview covering everything from the gift she gave to a recently paroled Martha Stewart to the Broadway musical she once talked rock legend David Bowie into enduring. Her sit-down with Howard also touched upon meeting her girlfriend on social media, Rosie’s reaction to “the slap,” and the 60-year-old’s recent transformation from daytime TV royalty into the star of three wildly different TV dramas. She appears as a bartender on Amazon’s acclaimed “A League of Their Own” reboot, a detective investigating Jon Bernthal on Showtime’s racy “American Gigolo” reprisal, and a public defender on Showtime’s romance drama “The L Word: Generation Q.”

It’s shaping up to be an astounding year for award-winning sex symbol and Hollywood icon Jon Hamm, who joined the Stern Show for the first time to promote his new crime comedy “Confess, Fletch” and speak with Howard about everything from which “Real Housewives” cast reeled him in to whether the rumors were true he preferred “going commando” on set.

Imagine Dragons, the Grammy-winning musicians behind chart-smashers like “Radioactive” and “Thunder,” returned to the Stern Show to chat with Howard about everything from their musical influences and new double album to the time lead singer Dan Reynolds spent two years with another big-name rocker slinging faith and shoveling feces in Nebraska. The group, which also includes lead guitarist Wayne Sermon, bassist Ben McKee, and drummer Daniel Platzman, also spoke about chatting with foreign leaders on Zoom and ghostwriting hits for pop stars before regaling listeners with an inspired performance of their 2017 single “Believer.” The conversation with Howard covered a lot of ground, but the recurrent themes were Reynolds’ spirituality, his upbringing, and his years-long evolution from Mormon missionary to LGBTQ+ advocate.

Paul Simon has won 16 Grammys, helped sell over 125 million records, and earned two separate inductions into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but when the timeless troubadour made his Stern Show debut he seemed far less concerned with sales figures and industry accolades than with how his diverse catalog of genre-bending music has been shaped by those who enjoy it.

The 56-year-old CNN host and longtime “60 Minutes” contributor returned to the Stern Show to shine a light on topics ranging from his unconventional upbringing as the great-great-great-grandson of business magnate Cornelius Vanderbilt to the converted firehouse where he and his ex-boyfriend cohabitate and co-parent their two children. Cooper also clued listeners in on the state of his oft-scrutinized network and some of the many projects he has in the works, from the next season of his podcast “All There Is” to his latest biography about an ultra-wealthy family, “Astor: The Rise and Fall of an American Fortune.”
