On Saturday the sixty-eight-year-old dined in an Israeli restaurant in Williamsburg.
Alongside Stern were his pals and stars, which included Jennifer Aniston, Jimmy Kimmel, Jon Hamm, Justin Theroux, and Jason Bateman.
The photo that was taken of the stars eating showed Stern taking no precaution with no face mask in sight anywhere.
Stern was seen sitting next to Kimmel as he was talking to Hamm.
One diner told Page Six: “Howard was there without even a mask.
“They all sat at a large table, Howard was seated next to Jimmy and also at one point seemed to be in deep conversation with Jon Hamm.
“Stern told restaurant staff this was his first night out since the start of the pandemic.”
However, despite dining with several stars…
Stern admitted that it was “exhausting.”
“I really had an exhausting weekend, emotionally, physically. For the first time in two years, I ventured out of the house,” Stern said on his radio show Monday.
“It was too much for me. It was too much. I haven’t been out in two years,” he added.
Before the dinner, Stern claimed that Kimmel had invited him and his wife, Beth Ostrosky, to dine.
But Stern was skeptical despite his wife Ostrosky being excited about the invitation.
“I said to my wife, ‘I don’t want to go, I’m in a panic, I don’t want to get COVID,'” Stern said.
“I know our president has told us the pandemic is over and everyone is walking around without masks … I still just don’t want to get COVID,” he continued.
Stern described himself as being “super paranoid about diseases and germs.”
There was even an incident where Kimmel and his wife went to Stern’s house for the summer, and they had to be tested twice for Stern to allow them to come in.
