Critique of Netflix’s Live Sports Streaming: In November 2024, Stern criticized Netflix following streaming issues during the Mike Tyson-Jake Paul fight, which attracted 60 million viewers.

Revelation about ‘Private Parts’ Casting: In September 2024, Stern disclosed on the “Smartless” podcast that actor Jeff Goldblum was once considered to portray him in the 1997 biopic “Private Parts.” The studio had suggested replacing Stern due to script disagreements, but he ultimately played himself in the film, which was a box office success.
These events underscore Stern’s enduring influence in the media landscape, marked by high-profile interviews, personal reconciliations, and candid commentary on current issues.
