<p>Radio shock jock Howard Stern mocked former &#8220;Fox News Sunday&#8221; anchor Chris Wallace after learning Sunday that Wallace was leaving the show after nearly two decades — and he planned to go to CNN&#8217;s new streaming platform, CNN+.</p>
<p>According to a <a href="https://www.mediaite.com/podcasts/howard-stern-mocks-chris-wallaces-fox-new-departure-people-dont-watch-cnn-who-the-hell-is-going-to-pay-for-cnn/">report from Mediaite</a>, Stern said on his Monday episode of &#8220;The Howard Stern Show&#8221; that he had always liked Wallace, but that he wasn&#8217;t sure the move would be good for his career.</p>
<p>&#8220;I always thought he was a level-headed guy. The guy actually pulled it off. I used to watch him on Fox News and go, ‘How does he put up with this sh*t?'&#8221; Stern said, adding, &#8220;I gotta tell ya: people don’t watch CNN, who the hell is going to pay for CNN+? Are they out of their mind? CNN+, I mean what is that? Regular CNN isn’t enough?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Good luck being seen on that thing,&#8221; <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/howard-stern-predicts-rumored-trump-tv-network-will-fail-within-a-year/">Stern</a> continued, arguing that he didn&#8217;t expect many people to shell out monthly for the opportunity to watch an extension of CNN&#8217;s network, <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/i-want-to-try-something-new-chris-wallace-is-leaving-fox-news-sunday-effective-immediately/">Wallace</a> or no Wallace. &#8220;I mean I like Chris Wallace, but I’m not paying a monthly service fee.&#8221;</p>
<p>Stern then posited that Wallace might have chosen CNN because they made him a better offer.</p>
<p>&#8220;He was on Fox News for 18 years, I’m sure they’re pissed because they were pretty loyal to him. They probably weren’t coming up with the dough re mi. I mean they probably offered him some good money,&#8221; Stern said before going down a bit of a rabbit hole and suggesting that he was looking for a more relaxed work environment.</p>
<p>&#8220;Maybe he said to himself, &#8216;They just had Jeffrey Toobin jerking off on a zoom meeting, and they didn’t really fire him, so that’s probably a good place to work. You can jerk off on your zoom and not get fired.&#8217; I think he saw an opportunity,&#8221; Stern said.</p>
<p><a href="https://dailywire.com/news/chris-wallace-announces-he-is-joining-cnn-social-media-erupts-good-riddance-to-this-fraud/">Wallace</a> announced at the end of &#8220;Fox News Sunday&#8221; that it was to be his final appearance on the show. Later in the day he revealed his plan to move to CNN+, a new streaming service that is set to launch in early 2022.</p>
<p>Colleagues flooded Twitter with their well-wishes after the news broke.</p>
<p>&#8220;<span class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0">Sad to see Chris go- he’s had an amazing run at </span><span class="r-18u37iz">@FoxNewsSunday,&#8221; Fox News anchor <a href="https://twitter.com/BretBaier/status/1470058394971168768">Bret Baier</a> tweeted. &#8220;</span>Chris -I wish you well with your next adventure. It was an honor to work alongside you all these years.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Chris Wallace and I have been friends since we covered the House of Representatives together in the late 70&#8217;s,&#8221; Fox News senior political analyst <a href="https://twitter.com/brithume/status/1470062739339063296">Brit Hume</a> added, sharing a photo of himself with Wallace. &#8220;I was delighted we ended up together at Fox News, and am sad to see him go. I wish him all the best in his next adventures.&#8221;</p>

<p>Fox News media released a statement on Wallace&#8217;s departure, saying, &#8220;We are extremely proud of our journalism and the stellar team that Chris Wallace was a part of for 18 years. The legacy of &#8216;Fox News Sunday&#8217; will continued with our star journalists, many of whom will rotate in the position until a permanent host is named.&#8221;</p>
