I'm no fan of Howard Stern, but I think Lange is hysterical. His book was a riot. I hope he finally beats the demons he's been fighting, before they get him.

Just looking at the guy, you can tell his life is pretty messed up. He’s got a bit of a John Belushi/ He’s a funny guy — but it is quite remarkable how many comedians derive their sense of humor from some serious mental and emotional problems.

Here’s hoping he finds peace in this life and the next.

He remind me of Belushi, same humour, same demons...

Total scumbag.

People like Stern, Lange and their trashy low-brow audience are the reason this country is going to hell in a hand basket.

Maybe he’s just trying to escape a world in which media hacks can’t identify him in any other way than “Howard Stern sidekick Artie Lange,” as though he’d changed his name from Artie Lange.

He wrote a book; he does comedy. Apparently, he can function on his own, free of the Stern umbilicus. And yet the media can’t see.

Did you catch any of Beer League? Man that is a vile movie. Caught about 10 minutes of it and then watched another 30 for the rubbernecking car wreck style of it's humor. I new then this day would arrive at some point.

I have it on very, very good authority that Artie will no longer be on the show. Very good.
