Title: Artie Lange - Fat Jersey Hack admitted to hospital
Post by: Charfman84 on January 03, 2010, 06:11:31 AM
Artie Lange, known to many of you as the sidekick of Howard Stern and the embodiment of good health was admitted to a New Jersey hospital for undisclosed reasons.

What could be the cause?  He's obese, an alcoholic, a chain smoker, consumes a shitty diet, and had been addicted to cocaine, alcohol, heroin and prescription drugs for long periods of time.  Thats a start.

Here is the TMZ link

http://www.tmz.com/2010/01/02/artie-lange-hospitalized-howard-stern-show/

Maybe if he had done some walking to St Louis during the weekend he could have shed some pounds.

Christmas day, the day after christmas, and new years day are the 3 top heart attack days of the year.

food, alcohol, stress, drugs taken for stress or party, and carbon dioxide from fireplaces all contribute.

If he was a healthy person then he likely wouldn't be funny, it's part of his character.  Kinda like how Drew Carey still wears those big glasses despite the fact he had laser eye surgery years ago.

Haven't listened to Stern in years, but I always thought Artie was much funnier than Jackie.

Just SO easy to see him overdosing or heart-attacking, like Belushi, Farley, etc.

He's Native American and German. He's part Italian but acts like he was worn in Tuscany.  Lange isn't a very Italian name, its German.


Saying mootzarell and rigggota  doesnt make you more Italian than you are.

He has a little bit of Native American in him true but if you listen to his mother talk she sounds like something out of Goodfellas or The Godfather... and I am sure he "says" mootzarell because that is what she served him growing up.

Now kindly piss off, noob.

Lange is German you cocksmoker.  Did you forget that part.  He doesnt go around taking about sauerkraut and schnitzel all the time.  He clings to the Italian persona like Carlos Mencia does with being Mexican, another guy who is actually German but plays another enthnicty's sterotype.

I think Artie is funnier because he`s such a train wreck, but IMO Jackie is a much better comedy writer.  I don`t think Artie will be back, and it`ll be interesting to see who fills his chair.  A few names being tossed around are Doug Stanhope and Jim Breuer.  Both guys are pretty funny.  Hearing Billy West on the show again would be ideal, but I don`t think it will happen.
Title: Re: Artie Lange - Fat Jersey Hack admitted to hospital
Post by: Desolate on January 04, 2010, 12:59:34 AM
On some level, I think Howard resents Jackie's talent. And Jackie would stand up to Howard from time to time while Artie is more of a pushover.

I remember just before Stern went to Sirius, they had this couple's contest on the show. Artie and his girlfriend won. Howard was such a baby because he felt that his girl was "close enough" on the question of preferred salad dressing that he ended up making a big stink. It was one of the most pathetic and petty things that I've ever witnessed. Artie just caved. :o

Personally, I lost interest in Stern once he separated from his wife. He turned out to be a total phony and complete hypocrite. >:(

He used to rail against Hollywood. He'd make fun of celebs all the time. But the truth is that he just really wanted to be a part of that world and was pissed that he wasn't included.

Then I'd hear stories that he was partying with celebs in Malibu, going to fancy parties in the Hamptons, etc.

He used to rip on John and Gary for going to baseball, football and basketball games. Then he starts showing up once a week at MSG to see the Knicks. I remember once he was sitting next to Paris Hilton.  ::) That's when I knew it was over.

He'd yap about how great his wife was. The movie was basically an ass kiss to her. Then he cheats on her with a girl from SCORES (he denies this) and boom, the marriage is over. Then he gets this new bimbo who wouldn't be anywhere near that warlock if he were Howard Stern, accountant.

He claims he'll never marry again and then what does he do? Barbara Walters at the wedding? Trump? I had to finally face it: Stern sold out. So I am glad this satellite radio experiment has been an utter disaster. He's nothing now.

Having got that off my chest, I must say that have no ill will towards Artie. But the dude is seriously self-destructive. He clearly hates himself and he really needs some help.

I really liked Artie on the show! His best bits...
*Guy who laughs at everything  ;D
*Chaz Bono
*His reciting of the Godfather dialogue...
and some of his quick witty one line insults that fly right over the heads of the moron bimbos that guest on the show.
They will all be missed but it's time for Howard to move on. Artie's wealth enables him to have a destructive lifestyle. He's got the greatest job making tons of $$$ but doesn't appreciate it.
It's ironic that the guy who made "WHAAAA" his catch phrase can't over come his own problems.  :-\

MENCIA ,does not look a bit german to me,,,,even if he is a bit,he will be associated with a mexican stereotype no matter what,,,how about don francisco from that crazy telemundo show ,his last name is kreutzberger sp?/he was raised i southamerica somewhere i think,speaks obviously perfect spanish and looks it cause thats his persona and raised that way.caprio is mother maiden name he gravitated and was raised with her family nothing wrong with that,if both families were italian they would probably fight about which side was more italian due to one say was sicilian and other was say from rome or up north.once the bloodline hits america its italian american,american italian,american of italian descent meaning 3 generations in america....

Im listening to the replay, Howard hasnt mentioned shit about Artie he's talking about his holiday party that happened 2 1/2 weeks ago.  There is alot to about when 2 weeks go by with no show.  He will probbaly brush over Artie, if he even mentions him.  I think he will play it off like Artie wasnt expected to be there, but he wont bring up the hospital trip.

i releaized that about him long long time ago. Always knew he was a phony. He was making millions of dollars but acting like he was some poor blue collar guy, complaining about thing that had nothing to do with his life. I never could understand why all these blue collar types looked up to him like some kind of working class hero. Guy never worked a hard job in his life.

HE did work some crappy disc jockey jobs,detroit,hartford,,he changed radio morning format forever,and probably ripped somebody off as he claims he always is esp by leno's bits ,but thats howard same schtick,how ugly he is,always talks about some other rich guys net worth,how he couldn't get laid,but he is smart in that he takes normal bizarre people's handicaps,misfortune,low self esteem and runs with it all the way to the bank....

It was a much different dynamic, Jackie and Howard had tension and needled eachother and openly busted eachtohers balls all with sarcasm but with some truth.

Artie and Howard dont have that.  While Artie is witty and can tell funny stories he doesnt have thast same dynamic.  He doesnt resent Howard like Jackie did so there isnt that much tension to spill on to the air.

yea he had a tough time before he was famous but the minute he got famous in NY everything out of his mouth was a lie. he was living like a celebrity and had millions all the while convincing fans on the radio he was a regular guy. He was probably cheating on his wife all along.

I still enjoy the show but i mostly agree with what you said

I feel he has gotten soft too, especially when women on the show don't do what they were supposed to do

maybe he worries about his daughters being old enough to listen now, so he doesn't lay down the law like he used to do
