  Howard Stern’s wife remained chipper and upbeat today as fans of her hubby still feared the worst since the workaholic took his first “personal day” ever. “Everything is great. He’s coming back on Monday. He had to take a personal day, that’s all,” Beth Stern told The Post.

Show producer, Gary Dell'Abate, said that he'll leave Howard to explain his absence when he returns on Monday.   />  Howard Stern’s wife remained chipper and upbeat today as fans of her hubby still feared the worst since the workaholic took his first “personal day” ever. “Everything is great.
