HOLLYWOOD, Calif., Oct. 10, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Howard Stern commemorated the official grand
opening of SiriusXM Hollywood Studios this week, welcoming some of
the biggest superstars in entertainment for news-making interviews,
comedy, and live performances.
Howard Stern's first West Coast
broadcast in almost 20 years kicked off with a star-studded first
show including guests Jennifer
Aniston, Robert Downey, Jr.,
Jimmy Kimmel, Adam Levine, and Arnold
Schwarzenegger. Widely-praised as the best interviewer in
the business, Stern's conversation with Aniston revealed
whether a Friends reunion is in the works, and his
talk with Downey, Jr. touched on his Iron
Man legacy and Martin
Scorsese's criticism of Marvel movies. Maroon 5's
Adam Levine and James Valentine also performed their new song
"Memories," a tribute to the band's manager who recently passed
away.
Subsequent shows featured an uproarious interview with
Seth Rogen and Snoop Dogg, and a
deeply personal 75-minute interview with Demi Moore. The special week ended with a bang
when one the world's best-selling rock bands, Green Day, performed
a fully electric set in the special Howard Stern Studio created for
the week at SiriusXM Hollywood. The five-time Grammy-Award winning
band performed two of their biggest hits, "American Idiot" and
"Wake Me Up When September Ends," as well as their newest single,
"Father of All..." which is also the title-track from their
forthcoming thirteenth studio album.
"We knew there was only one way to launch SiriusXM Hollywood. It
could only have been Howard Stern,"
said Scott Greenstein, President and
Chief Content Officer, SiriusXM. "Howard has never been bigger and
brought the excitement, skill, energy, and star power to our new
Los Angeles headquarters that put
us instantly at the forefront of Hollywood media. Now that our official launch
has been an unparalleled success, we're looking forward to
