Early Life and Early Career
Robin Ophelia Quivers was born in Pikesville, Maryland, on August 8, 1952. She was raised in the area around Baltimore, Maryland. Her mother, Lula Louise Quivers, was a homemaker and housekeeper, and her father, Charles Quivers Sr., was a steelworker. She has three siblings: a biological brother, Charles Jr., and adopted brothers, Harry and Howard.
Originally, Quivers set out to be a nurse, earning her degree from the University of Maryland in 1974. After a brief stint at Maryland Shock Trauma Center, Quivers enlisted in the United States Air Force in July 1975. She entered active duty in January 1976, and eventually made Captain in three years' time before being discharged. She then remained in the United States Air Force Reserve as an inactive member until 1990.
Media Career
In 1979, after leaving the military, Quivers returned to her hometown of Baltimore and enrolled to study at the Broadcasting Institute of Maryland. While studying, she simultaneously worked in a hospital. Her first job in the world of radio was at WIOO in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, as a newscaster. She then moved to WCMB in Harrisburg before going back to Baltimore to work as a consumer reporter for WJZ (AM). At WJZ (AM), she also would read newscasts with Johnny Walker, the station's morning disc jockey.
In March 1981, Howard Stern, the renowned American radio personality, started a new morning program in Washington, DC., at WWDC (FM). Quivers joined the show, and after just fifteen months, the show did so well that Quivers and Stern relocated to WNBC in New York City to continue working on it. Three years later, The Howard Stern Show moved to WXRK (K-Rock), where it remained for twenty years, before moving to Sirius Satellite Radio, where the show currently airs. When she underwent surgery to remove a tumor from her bladder in May 2012, she continued to provide commentary for "The Howard Stern Show" while she was recovering at home and did so through an ISDN line. Howard Stern is noted for having said during this time that Quivers was an extremely important part of the show, going so far as to state that if he lost her as a partner, he would quit radio.
