Artie Lange 'RIP Howard Stern show!' 

Artie was in Dirty Work with Norm McDonald and the film was directed by Bob Saget. Out of the 3 of those, who could have predicted it would have been Artie that survived?

Spent so many years with the Stern show. Working construction in DC sucked but that show was so entertaining. Thank you Artie for making our days a little better.

Hanzi said it best: "Howard, you've lived long enough to become Don Imus".

I’m a truck driver and I bought a lifetime membership to Sirius before Stern ever started on Sirius just so I could continue to The Stern Show and I listened to Stern every day for 20 yrs until he started kissing the ass of all the people he used to verbally destroy for all them yrs and I couldn’t listen to him anymore and dropped the Stern show like a hot rock and I don’t even have a Sirius radio anymore. Artie is still funny as hell.

Artie sounds fucking great. He's starting to really look like grandpa munster too, which is pretty awesome.

If you’ve listened to Howard for many years, watched E!, watched Howard on Demand... you know that Artie is 100,000% dead on accurate with the way Howard changed.

Howard mocked Imus for being that guy that no one was allowed to say hi to in the hallway. But then Howard BECAME the guy that no one was allowed to say hi to in the hallway

One of the fastest 38 minutes of my life. Artie makes it so easy to pay attention to his stories.

I like that Artie and Robin are still friends. It feels like so many on the Stern crew just completely cold-shouldered Artie, so it's really awesome that Robin never turned her back on him. I understand that Artie was a handful back in those days, but he really is trying to improve himself and get back on the right path.

Artie also filled a void in that studio that was desperately needed- the blue collar, guys guy, grounded human being. Something that Howard, Robin, and Fred were not. Howard is too narcissistic to ever see or admit that Artie was good for him in so many ways. Artie was relatable to his core blue collar audience, he kept Howard in touch with the real world and actual normal human behavior that wasn’t limos and mansions, and also Arties presence seemed to curb Howard’s gay tendencies and made him reluctant to froth over guys genitals and his trans fascination -all of which started running rampant once his left

Last year I was lucky enough to open for Artie at Cobbs comedy club in SF. I've opened for pretty much everybody, from Chappelle, to CK and Bill Burr. I've never seen a crowd as enthusiastic and crazy as Artie's crowd. I felt like I was performing at a Raiders game; shit was insane. You couldn't plan to kill, you just hope to manage chaos. It was a blast and Artie and his entire team were absolute class acts. The best.

Artie was the best part of howard stern show . TONS of people cheering in your corner Artie ! big love brotha keep fighting for yourself and everyone !

The 1990s Howard would slap the shit out of the 2010s Howard

When Artie left the show, I was done with it. Hung on for about a year to see if Artie would come back but once I realized he wasn't, I cancelled my subscription. Look how Artie was balls on correct about Ellen, we all found out in 2020 what a mean human being she is.

Anyone else on an Artie Lange binge?

The Artie years were the best on Howard Stern's show and while the show is funny without Artie, it has not reached that pinnacle again. He was a breath of fresh air and the main reason I followed the show to Sirius Satellite Pay Radio.

The craziest thing is watching him nod off and never miss a beat while telling the story. Im happy hes clean again so happy

I like how you can date Lange videos by his nose shape. BC before collapse, AC After

Tell it like it is Artie! You're absolutely right about Howard! Don't ever sugar coat it, no matter what terms you and Howard are on! Some people are not smart enough to see that you took the high road with Howard after you got fired. You spoke out for the ex workers when no one else would. You always own up to your mistakes, no matter how bad, and that's a man right there! You got my respect, stay who you are Artie, UNLIKE Howard!

I heard Howard talking about the Ellen backlash the other day. His argument was basically dumb down to/ for the most part: "Soo what? She's a mean boss.. Hitler was mean, and a lot of people loved him". 90% of his shows are now him like.. ragging on Ronnie for what he ate for breakfast. Or getting upset that he has a few Nascar friends, or if he's having fun. He just whines (more than ever) like the old Jewish broad he's become.

If Howard has Artie on today for an hour long interview it would be Howard’s biggest interview

Artie Lange a continued comedic outlook on dark things truly is an awesome thing.

I feel for Artie, friendships breakups are heartbreaking. Love ya Artie .

Artie ALWAYS projects a really fun humble generous and unassuming guy who can take it as well as dish it out - just an enjoyable confident edge to him

Stern got rich (no issue there), traded his wife for a model, stopped busting on on the wealthy, famous and powerful and became friends with them. Frankly another example of what some people will do for money, and what that money does to them. I quit Stern 6 year ago. Please take care of yourself Artie.

The days when they did the roast's were the best. Shortly before Artie left and the gang was killing it every morning. Artie leaving left a silence on the air that remains to this day...

SO REFRESHING TO HEAR A GROUP OF FOLKS CONVERSE WITH A HIGH LEVEL OF COMMUNICATION ABILITIES . Humorous and mature.

artie, god I love that guy. i really do. Thank God the 10 years of Stern shows with him are recorded

Im glad opie radio is getting more video related content

How can anyone not love this great-artist!?

When he talked about himself, Howard and robin being together again in the hospital room I cried... that made me really sad.

Artie's time on Howard was absolutely the peak of the Stern show. His comedic timing on that show was genius. Unbelievably quick and definitely the funniest kid in class and in the car but gotta admit it pains me to say l I haven't ever laughed at his standup.

Artie was the best part of the Stern show. I saw his standup live in Miami. He was great.

I used to be a super fan. Now I can’t stomach Howard. I listen to old shows all the time. I miss what it used to be and I miss Artie. Those were the days.

As someone who still listens to Howard on a daily basis... I'm happy i have the Sirirus app. I can skip the interviews and whining about working 12 hours a week. The prank calls and personalities are still good. I do love watching old Howard tv shows on youtube though, especially when Artie was there. I used to love Opie and Anthony too, and when Ant got fired, I stopped listening. Now there's no Norton either. Opie is kind of a hypocrite with this and frankly I only came for Artie

God…Artie can tell a story. Who’s listening in 2023?

Artie is so right, and that saddens me so much

great show, hire Artie

I've always loved Artie, I know he's been a liar and a drug addict, but when he left the Stern show, I left it as well. The stern show was never the same.

Artie's epic battles with Alice are classics!

I can't believe artie looks like the gym teacher lady from the "Porkeys" movies.

First time I heard Artie talk about Bob Uecker I laughed so hard. The Artie years on Stern was the best.

Artie is a humble guy in the sense that he wont admit that he MADE the show enter its prime. The fact that people remember it as the best time of the show and its...20 years on......think about this....when we were kids in the 80s....Woodstock was 20 years before that.....Artie is a legend.

Artie looks like something out of a David Lynch film.

The artie days were the best stern days ever.

Artie is a great comic. Love him.

Howard, like most greedy people, take all the money and leave everyone who helped him get to that level behind. They become out-of-touch with reality sadly. I fully understand what Artie is saying!

Hollywood Howie sold out a long time ago....Having Beth on the show, Banning Gilbert, hanging in the Hamptons with the Hollywood scum he used to bash....sad....

I haven't listened to Stern in years. I used to listen all 4 hours. Oh well... I'll remember the good times anyway, unless RU-vid takes it away.

Imagine having Robin's hospital visit with Robin, Howard and Artie on tape??? I would pay to hear that conversation.

The “visiting robin when she was sick” part…i teared up…not gonna lie….😢

Howard was good to Artie when he tried to off himself, I never heard him bad mouth him on air (at the time). Its too bad Artie never was allowed back for a visit. I stopped listening to Howard several years ago, so I'm not up on whats going on these days. I won't pay for Sirius so I can hear Howard a couple days a month between his many vacations. I miss the old days when Howard was an angry guy and Hollywood hated him/ Now he's one of them.

I quit after Artie left also. Howard just wasn't the same anymore.

Howard's edge came from feeling disrespected by the mainstream. Now the mainstream kisses his ass and he's satisfied. Being satisfied has ruined the act.

You can always gauge the age of a video by what shape Artie's nose is in. 🤣

Is it possible that Howard as become all politically correct because he wanted to be in the "In Crowd" with all those Hollywood types?

Just remember: NO ONE has left the Stern show under anything other than a black cloud. I think that Howard sees people leaving, regardless of the circumstances, as the ultimate betrayal and shuts them out of his life.

Artie mocking Crazy Alice and getting her all fired up was one of the funniest moments ever.

I agree I was such a Howard fan in the late 90s 2000s but his show and views are so fucking crazy the show jumped the shark years ago. And Howard seems like a person that years ago he would have despised.

The greatest segment ever that I watched countless times and all of you should, was when Artie fights with Andrew Dice Clay. Epic.

Stern had two great eras... the Billy West/Jackie Years and Artie Early Sirius Years. Now he's a joke. He's literally become everything he always hated and talked shit about. He worse than Imus.. he's an Imus imitator.

Artie Lange was an integral component to the Stern Show for years. When Jeff the Drunk would be on and Artie would parody him in the background, that was the best. No matter what happened between them Stern should be the bigger man and get Artie back on.

I took a 1000 mile car ride with my kids entered this with 4 tapes of the Howard's radio show 1990's time flys we laughed and had a great time

Artie made that show even better, all due respect to Jackie. Artie Lange is a great talent. Stand up guy.

Oh has the HS show changed! There a time I wouldn't miss it, now hearing shows like this is the only thing letting me know it's still in existence.

5 hours of artie fights. Telling Alice she's a pile of shit with eyes, throwing things at his assistant, dice clay $5k, etc. Now here I am. Miss those days.

I recall listening to one of last (possibly THE LAST) moments of Artie on Stern. Stern was ripping into him HARD about his vices in a really disrespectful way even for Howard... *and Artie said something along the lines of "at least I don't have to pretend I don't wear a wig every day."* There was a lonnnnngggg awkward silence, which immediately made apparent Artie just said the worst possible thing on-air he could've (in retrospect, I could imagine Stern muting the mics and screaming his ass off for 5 seconds). And right after that Howard angrily demanded him to leave the studio. Still to this day, I can't find an audio of this clip anywhere... which makes me wonder if it was intentionally scrubbed from the internet. From that day I was done listening to Stern, and I'll always respect Artie.

The story Artie tells of Robin, Howard and himself in the hospital room is truly heartbreaking in every possible way. 😔 My feeling is Howard genuinely loved and cared for Artie, even likely felt bad that he just didn't know how to deal with Artie's addiction and maybe was even an enabler just by the nature of the situation. Truth is nobody knows how to deal with someone you care deeply for being an addict. You try to help over and over and over and it falls on deaf ears. You want so desperately to help but one day you finally realize you can't, it's out of your hands. It tears everybody involved apart. Heroin wins 99.9% of the time. I also think that experience with Artie played a part in Howard basically doing a 180* as far as his style on air. A kinder gentler approach. I think he felt somewhat responsible (not that he was!) and a little guilty as it just naturally became part of the show. No one here is to blame. The fork in the road finally came and Howard had to walk away... IMO because he did love Artie so much. Artie's a big boy. He made his choices. I wish Artie the strength to one day rise up from the ashes and shine, again.

I've listened to Howard for years but in my opinion, people are lying to themselves if they think the show is as good as it used to be. Howard is out of touch. Personally I can't listen anymore. He'll always be the greatest, but I'm done.

None can deny the Artie years were the best, and it was for many reasons beyond just Artie being there. We know deep down there was no way it could last forever. The dynamic was too perfect, too funny. But it was so turbulent, so wild. Something had to give and everything has to evolve. I think even if Artie was able to hold himself together and keep that job, the show would have changed all the same.

Started listening to Stern in late '93. It took about a week before I got it and I've been a fan ever since. The show was really rockin' and then Jackie fucked up his life by leaving, but the show continued on without him. And then Artie showed up. The Artie years were my favourite years. There were so many times when Artie would say something and Howard would laugh so hard and so deeply. It wasn't a laugh that I had heard before when Jackie was on the show. Artie had a unique sense of humor, great stories and an infectious laugh. I really miss those days. Yes, Howard and the show have really changed. I find it almost hard to listen to anymore, except for the musical acts and the interviews. He is a fantastic interviewer. He always somehow manages to take someone that I didn't give a shit about and make them supper interesting. An example is the first Lady Gaga interview. What I knew of her was her penchant for outlandish dress.....crazy outfits and such. I thought she was an untalented empty vessel, like many of the so called musical talents of the day. But she truly blew me away with her talent. Her voice and her abilities behind the piano are amazing. I thank him for that. But again, the Artie Lange years are still my fav.

if howard did a interview with artie after this, the world would stop during that interview. THAT SHOULD HAPPEN

I unsubscribed when he interviewed Chloe kardashian and kissed her ass. That's not the Howard I grew up listening to.

When did Artie transform into Beethoven?

Artie has been one of my favorite comedians for years. I wish him all the best.

Artie is a funny guy. Hopefully he's doing good. 👍😎

I miss Artie but i miss Billy West the most.

America's Got Talent was Howard's audition to show that he wasn't just his act, and that he could fit in with the rest of the mainstream. Once he passed his "test", everything started to change with him.

Glad this interview showed up on my page. Great interview. No surprize to hear about the Stern freeze-out.

People have their reasons for liking or disliking Howard,the old Howard or the new Howard. I posted this awhile back in a MomboMan video... "I lost my father to suicide,my sister to leukemia,and my 29 year old nephew (massive heart attack in his sleep) all in a span of three years. I was sad,angry and (temporarily) depressed. Around this time I was listening to Howard, as I have been since 1985. 33years. He and Robin made me laugh and helped me through one of the hardest times of my life. I'll never leave him. I'm in it to the end." This is still my stance.

Artie and Howard were the best! I hope Artie is healthy and sober. 💙

Hearing Artie again brought me back to the best years of my life, now Howard and NYC has turned into a shithole.

WOW! Just found this, I have always said Artie made the Stern show, without him Howard is nothing. Haven't listened to him in 10 years.

Why can no one accept Howard has just gotten old.. He's been doing this shit forever.. Remember the stories you'd here about your parents or grandparents being wild but you could never even imagine it cause you see a nice, calm old man.. The dude is just old... Accept it.. He may have changed, but who the hell hasn't changed over the last 40 years?

Here, Artie looks like the way I always pictured vinny boombatz

Man this was such an interesting listen. Especially the part about going to visit Robin. Thanks for the great upload!

I met Willy Tyler at the Holiday Inn, in Mansfield, Ohio in 1988... he was sitting in the restaurant all by himself after his show there.... it was late at night.... I sat down and talked with him for about 10 minutes.... such a nice guy.

Artie. We all heard you, in real time, on the air, for hours. And for YEARS. That was alllllll you.

the artie years had way more laughs just not the same

First time listening to Opie. Does he always explain why he laughs at every joke like this? Don't even think I can finish this.

I loved the Stern show it made my commute bearable and first couple hours of work listened all through the 90s and early 2000s stopped when he went to serious except would catch him when I had a rental car. I love Artie he’s hilarious but still feel the golden age is with Jackie, Howard is a genius a master interviewer and I’ll never forget listening to him all day on 9/11 I hate how woke he’s become and his obsession with celebrity that he used to have distain for, I understand we all get old and change but he’s morphed into the very Yenta he used to hate

I have been a Howard Stern listener for over 24 years, but the show lost something when Artie left. Admittedly I left with him

These guys don't get it. The reason why Howard did a 180 is once he went to Hollywood he had to face people. No more behind the radio mic. Now he doesn't have the balls to NOT be politically correct while facing the Hollywood crowd.

Artie is a comedic legend...period.

Artie was the reason I listened to Howard for several years, he was the best part of the show with his stories and quips and side jokes. Yet he maintained the attitude that he just was one of the several contributors there, no arrogance at all. Love ARTIE forever.

Howard Stern has lost his edge. He became too Hollywood.

I love Artie, but he blew that great opportunity. He was so destructive to himself and the show wanted off the rollercoaster. So sad cause he made the show great.

Marci Turk should not really come as a surprise to longtime listeners. I remember distinctly in the 90s hearing Howard warn Gary of a person who would be joining the show someday that would be a ball buster. Gary had done another one of his countless screw-ups and Stuttering John had just done some sneaky conniving thing as well when Howard made this Proclamation to Gary. It was one of those Gary has never worked for a real boss type speeches like we always used to hear. but the difference was on this occasion I remember he actually outlined it. Howard would hire a manager of the show who would oversee the entire operation and make all decisions takeing all decisions out of his hands. When Gary insisted he was a good producer Howard's reply was "this person I will hire will decide if you are good or not and if they make a decision that you are not then whatever they decide they decide ".And then he said this person would go through the entire operation and that there would be a major house cleaning. Howard said this person would make it possible for him to distance himself from everything and not even give a second thought about who he was working with and who he was not. Howard said the days of him accepting peoples inconpittance and conniving on the show as just show fodder would end someday when he tired of it and it would be run like all the shows on television are run. What he did not warn about is that this person would make the show unfunny.

Your the man artie , you carried the stern show and gave it its best years

I know a lot of people dump on Howard out of spite, but I don't see that with Artie. I've always appreciated how honest and fair Artie is when discussing other people.
