Howard has absolutely been given a list of "do not discuss topics". This is no longer your Howard of 20 years ago.

Howard is still very funny. The show has changed but like with the Stones if you are addicted to it you can't stop listening...

I am a late listener to Howard’s show, over the past couple of years, probably as a result of being stuck in the house due to the pandemic. I hear what people say about “early” Stern being the best. But even he admits now that he went too far with some celebs. He later apologized to some, and said some accepted it (the apology), some didn’t. Howard revolutionized radio by signing with Sirius. I listened to his interview with Coldplay last week. It was really good. With Jagger in such a short time frame interview this will be about as much as you can get about the Glimmer Twins and the band and all else in between, in a nano second. You can’t cover 60 years in that time. Mick will have his famous line - “I can’t remember.” Probably the interview will be mostly about the loss of Charlie and this current tour. I’m fine with that. Just hearing stories about Charlie will be great. As Howard has said, he would like more time with Mick. Enjoy it, I’m looking forward to tomorrow!Quote

I am sure he's still "funny", but I no longer listen because he's no longer hilariously funny. The best days were clearly way back, when he didn't care what he said or who he offended, and coupled with the cast and the incredibly funny bits they used to do (things like, guess who's the jew, comes off the top of my head).
They got too rich, and probably about 30 years ago, they stopped doing bits, completely (meaning Howard, Jackie, Fred) and instead left that part up to the rest of the crew (Richard, Sal) that weren't comedians. They had some funny moments, but mostly it was just dumb humor, not clever like before. Artie Lange was great but once he was gone then I didn't enjoy it nearly as much anymore, i cancelled my service!
Plus that was around the time Howard did his life change, made up w/ all the celebrities he used to do battle with, like Chevy Chase, Rosanne, Regis & Kathy, etc. Yes, more mature, made him a better person I am certain of it ... just made it far less funny to a listener.

No longer the same Howard, agreed. But he absolutely has NOT been given a list of do not discuss topics, and if he was, he would ignore it.

You clearly don't know how much Howard has changed. He absolutely takes Do Not Discuss topics nowadays because thats the only way he's gotten certain people on. Sorry, this isn't an opinion, its just a fact. He had Hillary Clinton on last year and you think he was given carte blanche? Not a chance.
Didn't matter here, he was too nervous to ask anything even slightly untoward.
