Artie Lange walks off Stern Show (will he be back?)

Artie LangeArtie Lange walked out on the Howard Stern Show after an argument with his personal assistant on the air, and now the question remains whether he will ever return.

The argument between Lange, who joined the show permanently in 2001, and his assistant of 2 years, Teddy, quickly escalated from a simple squabble over travel accommodations.

As the spat continued, Lange became enraged and physically lashed out at Teddy, but the physical confrontation was apparently diffused by other members in the studio.

When Lange returned, he said Teddy would be "dead" had he reached him and that he'd be in jail.

Stern said he cannot condone Lange's actions, but Artie (who's been prone to such outbursts) said he can't guarantee he won't act out in the future.

Artie then offered his resignation, and Stern accepted but told Lange to leave and cool off.

Teddy returned to the studio several minutes later and said there was overreacting from everyone. Howard Stern and producer Gary Dell'Abate said they "did not know what to make of it all."

this is a bit. Isnt Artie going to Amsterdam??

FAKE RADIO BIT!

Hack radio bit before vacation.

Well this sucks! However, it might be the best thing for Artie. He needs some serious help. Hopefully things can be worked out.

Thats fine, he can come back as a guest. Please get Jackie back for the show. Its time to get back to basics.

F Artie, F Timmy... Right... I'd like to apologize to my wife, Nancy...

I don't think it's a bit. However, I don't thing he'll be gone permanantly.

Dumbasses, this is no bit!!! This was 100% authentic and if you knew a sliver about the show, you'd realize that.

time to update those resumes anthony and norton

a opening to your dream job is present

listen!...let that fat dope leave and bring the jokeman back!!!!!!!!!!

It's not too amazing that there is so little buzz over this anywhere else.
How the mighty have fallen.

What ? No 0.0 comments ?

Ooh.. this almost makes me want to listen. How is Artie still alive, anyway?


He freaked out over SIRI. - Mel

So wait. They decide to let the assistant stay and get rid of a co-host? Couldnt Artie just tell them to get rid of the other guy instead? It seems to me that if my secretary screws up and I get mad at her then she would be the one who gets the ax. I wouldnt walk out and quit.

Hoo Hoo: "No one's listening, we need controversy."

Hole: "I know sir, why not stage a fight & have the fat bastard quit?"

Hoo Hoo: "I knew I kept you around for more than making black jokes and saying 'oh howard'."

Hole: "Oh howard."

#1 artie lange
#19 stern fan network

come on brainless o/a lackeys... stop pretending o/a are a blip on any radar, and stop pretending howard isnt

"Hoo Hoo: "No one's listening, we need controversy.""


LOL based on the ratings numbers if "no one" is listening to stern then O&A must have negative numbers...meaning O&A dont even listen to themselves talk....

yeah! Panic at the Disco has taken over as the top header. Now we don't have to look at Artie's dipshit face all day.

Um, anyone can doctor google trend numbers. I'm pretty sure all the Stern wackos google bombed those terms to raise the profile.

NO to "merge" MONOPOLY
YES to HD Radio The thinking man's radio


"HD Radio -- It's Time to Upgrade!"

Um, anyone can doctor google trend numbers. I'm pretty sure all the Stern wackos google bombed those terms to raise the profile.

keep telling yourself that while you wear your tin foil hat.

speaking of doctoring google trends...what about opie telling all the fans to bombard google with lame searches so they move up in the trends. even then, they dont hit #1. go f yourself

zzzzz

Fake on-air fights? That's so '90s of Howard.

How the mighty have fallen.

:(

The good news is that he can still walk.

Man, some people need to get a life. You actually think people do fake searches to raise the Sterns google numbers. Stern is still huge and O&A have turned into a punchline for failure. Only O&A would have to resort to that kind of thing. It is sad that people are that delusional.

Can't we all just get along! Lets just get this merger through and then all you O&A people can get over the Stern Envy. :)

If you heard it you would know that it was definitely not fake. He might be back, but him storming off was real. He is outta control.

OMG! Why are they NOT playing the real replay? Has Artie jumped off a bridge or something or are they just a bunch of cowards? I don't get it.

no kidding wtf. i'm off to find a copy to download, as i'm on the west coast and tuned in a 8AM only to catch the wrap up show.

btw, tin foil hat dude. jason reitman was also on stern today and he's at #9 on the trends.

First of all, this screams "bit" - I don't even listen to the show and I can tell that.

Secondly, I notice the Howie fanboys always go after O&A and tell them they are worthless and will be gone after the merger. But whenever us Virus listeners mention Ron & Fez, you dopes never even acknowledge them. (Meanwhile, people on both sides know Bubba is, in fact, a douchebag and irrelevant.) Answer me this: Do you not know about R&F, or is it that you either, a) respect R&F enough not to involve them in your petty back and forth horse manure, or b) ignore/don't care about them?

Because, in my humble opinion and that of many O&A listeners, R&F are the true stars of 202 (they should have won the Best Kept Secret Orbie, but somehow it went to one show that airs no more than eight times a year and another that has aired three and a half times (three live shows and a podcast replay).). I got XM for uncensored O&A, but I discovered, and now love Ron & Fez.

I ask this because shakeups and "drama" of this sort is a regular occurrence on R&F, and if any of you honestly believe that Artie Lange has truly left the show, I will leave you with a quote from the smartest man I know never to graduate high school:

"Carnies and rubes, Fezzie. Carnies and rubes." - Ron Bennington


P.S. Ron & Fez, knowing they will miss a live show because of vacations or booked events (like Unmasked tapings), will record bonus shows ahead of time so that loyal listeners will still get new content daily. Does ol' Poodle-Head care about his listeners like that, especially when he takes his monthly week-long vacations after his stressful four-day workweek?

What's going on, seems like the aren't doing the afternoon re-air of the morning show on Howard 100?

and we care why?

Best radio EVER! All you XM listeners can keep A & O or R & F or whoever. Stern RULES! Artie IS THE MAN! Fuck Jackie! Pass this merger, give me MLB!

Wtf is up with you people coming to rave about Ron and Fez on a Howard Stern article? News flash... No one knows(or cares) who Ron and Fez are and any radio they do is almost assuredly based off the work of the Stern Show.

Artie is one of the funniest parts of the show. I hope things work out. I love the painting www.photofiddle.com made of him eating the cupcake.

The reason you post this stuff on a Howard thread is so people will actually read it.

"Man, some people need to get a life. You actually think people do fake searches to raise the Sterns google numbers."

Yes, its the same people who think calling other shows and saying Bababooie is funny.

Huh? You actually think Stern invented radio? That nothing original can be done? Stern hasn't done anything new in ten years. He is stale and falling, Artie Lange is a noname "B" level comic and C movie actor. This is a bit.

You people are insane! Howard's show is the best it has ever been on Sirius.

And Gary swore on his kids on the wrap up show that is is NOT a bit.

Stern Show is the most innovative show in the history of Entertainment and has NEVER been better than it is now....In 2 years he turned a company that had 400K subscribers to 8 MILLION. Mad power. The best is watching the FM/AM FUNERAL drive past. Clear Channel is dead in the water.

No thanks...they already have jobs...what happened to that whole "They're going to be off of the air in two months" thing? Huh?

You're a failure...again...

this was no bit and I no for a fact

trust me


artie however does need a serious intervention from the people who love him at work and at home. the last thing he needs now is a trip to amsterdam.

artie needs his coworkers and family to stop him from getting on that plane to amsterdamn, the city of drugs and booze, and do a damn intervention already and stop letting him bamboozle everyone daily that he is not on drugs!!!

Howard Stern is still on the air? Oh.

Artie- what happend- you have made me laugh and feel sorry for you at the same time- have fun in amsterdam- hope you make it out alive

Artie- what happend- you have made me laugh and feel sorry for you at the same time- have fun in amsterdam- hope you make it out alive

i've been listening since 87...when Howard was the only "Shock Jock"...yes he did invent this type of radio and still does it better than ever...this was real Artie is a loose cannon but an amazing asset to the show. Him apologizing to howard after the fight was pretty touching, he respects the hell out of Howard and doesn't respect himself. As far as O and A they're fine, i've heard them here and there but they are obvious Howard clones and obviously can't get ratings....they've never got above a 1.2...I don't think Howard was ever below a 7.0 and peaked at a 9 or 10 but it's not just O and A it's all radio shock jocks...there is only one who paved the way and has stood the test of time and he could stay on air till he's 80 and still be the best. As far as R and F sure if you're into radio you've heard them mentioned but the earlier post was correct, they are not really a blip on anyones radar. people who love Stern have trouble listening to anything else because everything else in some way or another even if unintentional steals from his show. It's like any hard rock band will always be compared to Zeppelin or Sabbath or Beatles and Stones because they set the bar. Howard will go down as the single most influential radio personality ever and I dread the day when he's off the air....it'll be back to music because talk radio is nothin w/out Howard. Bababooey to ya'll.

artie reeks of sexuality........oooooooh

Not to swim-walk or anything, O&A have placed all kinds of search terms at the top of Google Trends. Remember "Jimmy Tide" was #1 for two days, "tadpoling" was top-10 for 1 day.

Search engine statistics are not what you want to be quoting.

Aegrotatio, the difference is o/a told fans to search for those terms so they would be on the trends list. not quite the same thing

Artie...you are the man....I love you Artie....YOU RULE.
You gave Lohan GREAT advice! No lie.........xoxo
