Howard Stern Leaves House for First Time in Two Years To Dine With Jimmy Kimmel & Friends

Howard Stern finally left his house for the first time since the start of the pandemic to dine with friends.

Stern, 68, has been broadcasting from home since March 2020 living in fear of the coronavirus.

He and his wife, Beth Ostrosky, were invited out by Jimmy Kimmel for dinner at Laser Wolf in Williamsburg, Brooklyn with a host of friends including Jennifer Aniston, Jon Hamm, Justin Theroux and Jason Bateman.

He was seen maskless in the restaurant.

“I really had an exhausting weekend, emotionally, physically,” Stern admitted on his Monday radio show. “For the first time in two years I ventured out of the house.”

He said it was too much for him because he hasn’t been out for two years and didn’t want to go. “I said to my wife, ‘I don’t want to go, I’m in a panic, I don’t want to get Covid.”

Even though he and his wife were fully vaccinated, he is still concerned about being infected.

“I know our president has told us the pandemic is over and everyone is walking around without masks… I still just don’t want to get Covid,” said Stern.

He also insists to stay in his “bunker” to avoid Covid exposure and infection.

“I’ve been locked up so long and I haven’t gotten Covid,” he said. “I’m afraid I’ll be the one a–hole who get Covid and I’ll die. Even though people don’t seem to be dying that much.”
