tonyho7476 Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 This was crazy stuff today. Artie was crying when he left the studio. Artie 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." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure what was going on as traffic blew, ugh. Maybe I'll catch it on the way home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 sounds like Harry telling Mac to kiss his sack on the air a few years back. That was quite a publicity stunt as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at the number of subscribers that have come to Sirius since his announcement and the total failure of all his former terestrial radio sataion, yes he is very relevant. Simple things too, like very specific things he has on his show will shoot up search engine hot lists, songs mentioned out of the blue will jump on i-tunes, etc...

Texsox Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Sad really, usually a good Stern reference would have this a 50 post thread before lunch. Perhaps that's a gauge. At least we know Howard has the integrity to not stage a fight between his co-entertainers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonxctf Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 im hoping to catch him on the replay tonight on my drive home (or listen on youtube) where its already posted. interesting fact about stern... its estimated that he specifically brought 4-5 million ppl to sirius alone. cut it down the middle to 4.5 million people each paying $12.95/mo= approx $700 million a year in revenue (+ ad revenue) for Sirius.

It kind of put Howard and Sirius in a little bind, this is the second time he's lashed out physically at a co-worker, if it happens a 3rd time I imagine there would be lawyers willing to try and go after Howard and Sirius if something physical actually occurs. I know he has a ton of money, etc., but it's sad to see someone who has so much going for them seemingly so unhappy and willing to throw it all away. We'll see, they're on vacation next week, so I have a feeling he'll be back. If he leaves I hope they fill the chair, hopefully with Greg Fitsimmons (sp?). Carolla would be my dream team, but I don't think Sirius could give him enough $$ Edited April 10, 2008 by SoxFan562004 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Artie has a lot of demons, doesn't he? I remember a few years ago when I could listen, he disappeared for weeks. Didn't he get better for a bit and lose a bunch of weight, than I just saw recent pics and he is huge again. Hope he is ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3E8 Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 When I first read this I thought it would be high-pitch Mike, not Teddy. He's been playing with fire lately. Hopefully they show this on Howard TV and hopefully Artie isn't gone because he makes the show so much better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 The drive home was a replay of Monday's show, ugh. As far as relevance is concerned Howard's show on Sirius is amazing and Arte Lang is a big reason why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Critic Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 After listening to the clips, I'm 100% sure Artie will be back after the vacation. I don't believe that it's a stunt, but it didn't sound like either side really wants this to be a permanent split. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonxctf Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 i read on another board that Artie was on the plane to Amsterdam tonight, along with Teddy. apparently this was a Steve Langford report. Also, Howard himself nixed the replay of today's show for either the evening re-broadcast or over the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
