        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, it&#8217;s worked for him!</p><p>Howard Stern has weighed in on Ellen DeGeneres&#8217; seeming <strong>fall from grace</strong>, saying that if he were in the talk show host&#8217;s shoes, he would &#8220;change [his] whole image.&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;I&#8217;d go on the air and be a son of a bitch,&#8221; he said Monday on SiriusXM&#8217;s &#8220;Howard Stern Show.&#8221; &#8220;People would come on and [I would] go, &#8216;F&#8211;k you.&#8217; Just be a p&#8212;k.&#8221;</p><p>Stern continued, &#8220;So you think I’m a p&#8212;k? I’m going to show you exactly. … I’m known on the air as a p&#8212;k, but off the air, I’m known as a great guy, you know, for the most part.&#8221;</p><p>Stern, 65, and DeGeneres, 62, have been friends for some time — he even <strong>remarried his wife Beth</strong> on &#8220;The Ellen DeGeneres Show&#8221; in 2019 — and he made his &#8220;rebranding&#8221; suggestion with the caveat that he thinks DeGeneres should try and work things out with her staff first.</p><p>Stern, who mentioned that he&#8217;s been working from his Hamptons home during the pandemic, said that he counts among his staffers a writer who&#8217;s been late to work &#8220;900 times&#8221; without recrimination and that the brouhaha over the culture at &#8220;Ellen&#8221; has moved him to re-evaluate his own show.</p><p>“You know who’s abused in my workplace?” he asked. “Me.”</p><p>Earlier this month, <strong>Page Six exclusively reported</strong> that Stern&#8217;s contract renewal at SiriusXM — his current deal is up at the end of the year — may be the biggest of the star&#8217;s career, should he decide to continue.</p><p>Whether DeGeneres intends on following Stern&#8217;s advice when she returns to work on Aug. 24 for &#8220;Ellen&#8217;s Game of Games&#8221; remains to be seen. Insiders say either way, <strong>she has no intention of quitting</strong>, despite the avalanche of bad publicity — and <strong>concurrent ratings drop</strong> — she&#8217;s faced since a March Twitter thread began a pile-on by former staffers <strong>accusing her of creating a toxic workplace environment</strong>.</p><p>While several celebrities, including <strong>Kevin Hart</strong> and <strong>Katy Perry</strong>, have offered support to DeGeneres, it&#8217;s done little to stem the flow of anecdotes about her allegedly nasty streak, including one by a Louisiana man who claimed DeGeneres <strong>bullied him as an 11-year-old</strong> when she worked at his mother New Orleans staffing agency early in her career.</p>]]></content:encoded>
