In the past 2 years, I moved from NY to Texas and back to NY, bought a house and my wife and I had a baby. As much as I wanted to sit and listen to the Stern show all morning, than write on this site all afternoon, I just didn't have the time. In fact, I still don't really have the time, but with everything that has happened with Artie recently, I know that I have to find some time to post about what is going on with Artie.
I have posted some links from some of the major news outlets regarding Artie's suicide attempt. I'm sure that most of you who are true fans of Artie Lange already read every article about the subject, but in case you missed it, they are here for you to read.
I really miss Artie on the show and it just doesn't sound the same without him, but I don't see how he can ever come back. As much as this thought really bothers me, the man is too unstable and the show was his downfall. Artie just couldn't take the hours of the show, his hectic road schedule, his clinical depression and multiple addictions. If he ever came back, he would be tortured by unsympathetic callers and haters from the Stern Fan Network. The "WAAAAHHH's... I tried to kill myself" would be endless. This would cause the already unstable Artie to fall right back into the same black hole that he has been living in for the past few years.
Although I don't expect to ever hear Artie as a regular member of the Howard Stern Show again, I wish him all the best. I really hope he get's his life together because he really is a truly funny man with a bigger than life personality. Get Well Soon Artie. I miss you and millions of your fans miss you and we're all rooting for you.
If you miss Artie as much as I do, you can read his book Too Fat to Fish
, or watch his movie Artie Lange's Beer League
or one of his comedy specials Artie Lange - It's the Whiskey Talking
and Artie Lange: Jack and Coke
