When is robin quivers coming back to the studio

Stern said that the guard he tried to use that code name with had no idea what he was talking about, leading him on a wild goose chase from one hospital floor to the other.

Quivers joked to Stern that maybe the guard was really a mental patient who'd stolen a guard's uniform, and Stern in turn told her she chose the worst imaginable code name. He then suggested "Alissa Abromowitz" for a future code name, saying it would at least be at the beginning of the alphabet. Quivers also appeared on Tuesday's show from her home, and said she wants to eventually talk about the procedure she had done, but needs to talk to Stern off-air before broaching it on-air, MarksFriggin reports.

Salem agreed, saying "She sounds great, you know, you can't tell. Everybody thinks she's here in the studio. I was brushing my teeth this morning and thinking about going back on the air for the first time after surgery and how incredibly difficult that was. And today not feeling anything at all," Robin told Stern and listeners. You can get up and brush your teeth, throw in your clothes and run out the door. Stern did have a pretty gloomy reaction in early when he learned Robin would have to undergo a hour operation to remove a grapefruit-sized tumor that had been pressing on her bladder.

During a phone conversation with Quivers early last month, the radio legend confessed to listeners that he thought "she was a goner. Stern and Quivers have been on the air together for over 30 years. Just two months ago, Stern admitted he thought she wasn't going to make it through the ordeal. Not to make light of this situation — I didn't know what was going on. I was freaking out," he said. But luckily, no arrangements were ever needed.
