Jon Blitt's Post Sparked Major Reactions
Fans weren't convinced that Jon Blitt started a new job at Old Navy after being laid off from 'The Howard Stern Show.'
Fans flooded the comments section, pointing out that Blitt's new job announcement was likely a joke.
"Guys, it is fake. This is such a set-up," one critic wrote, while another added, "I'm sure this is a bit ... meant 'blittttttt' however ... I'm into it ... rock the humor baby ❤️."
"If I thought this was true, I’d fly to NY and go to Old Navy just to watch you ABF," a third added. "By the looks of the pants you just folded you have lots of practicing to do. Definitely not up to Old Navy standards 😂."
'The Howard Stern Show' Downsized Amid Schedule Changes
'The Howard Stern Show' is set to scale back its schedule from three newly produced episodes per week to just one.
As OK! previously reported, Howard Stern laid off roughly a dozen staffers from his SiriusXM as part of a structural shift.
The radio show will transition from three weekly live shows to just one newly produced show per week after Labor Day. Staffers were reportedly blindsided by the decision when they were notified of their termination during a Zoom meeting.
Insiders claimed the layoffs came as a result of the show's reduced schedule, noting that the broadcast "just doesn't need that much content anymore."
Stern, 72, has been on the radio since 1977. He marked his first deal with Sirius Satellite Radio in 2004, earning him $500 million over five years.
