Just days before the announcement of his contract extension, Cohen participated in a prank orchestrated by Howard Stern, which led many to speculate about Stern's potential departure from SiriusXM. During a surprise appearance on Stern's show, Cohen humorously suggested that the channel would be rebranded as "Andy 100," prompting confusion among listeners and media outlets. Cohen later expressed surprise at the media's reaction to the prank, noting that even friends like Anderson Cooper were taken aback.
