Guest Low Roller Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Since I know there are some Howard Stern fans out there (God only knows why), I thought I would pass on this little bit of information:Stern sidekick in suicide try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Artie is the walking dead right now. Very sad. I pray he somehow gets better but it's not looking good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Multiple stab wounds is a pretty committed method of suicide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Multiple stab wounds is a pretty committed method of suicide.This is the part of the story that made me cringe:Lange sustained six "hesitation wounds" and three deep plunges.

Big Wooly Mammoth Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 he is a troubled dude. heard a great interview with him on Fresh Air a few months ago. I'm not a Stern fan, but found Artie to be an interesting dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phishtaper Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 yeah, heard this on the show this morning. i love artie. my thoughts are with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hartamophone Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Multiple stab wounds is a pretty committed method of suicide.It's how Elliott Smith killed himself. I can't fathom the amount of torment one would have to be experiencing in order to do that.As for Artie, I certainly wish him the best. As much as I find him obnoxious to watch/listen to/look at, obviously he is a man who desperately needs help, and has been for some time. There was a no-holds-barred article about him in Rolling Stone within the past year or so, where he talked about how his career was the only aspect of his life in which he even remotely had his act together, and how he would much rather be an anonymous plumber in Seattle than Artie Lange the millionaire comic. Hopefully this will be a turning point for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 I read about this on sternfannetwork last weekend, but it was all rumour. I didn't believe it. This was going on just before TMZ broke the news of Artie being rushed to the hospital, yet the family was not releasing details. Today some asswipe leaked out the details. though it sounds like he may have spoken with Dr. Drew.No one could possibly guess what he was thinking. He probably didn't want to go down by drugs so maybe he though stabbing himself would be better? I don't understand how you could stab yourself in the stomach. I really hope he recovers and he can perform again. He's hilarious. Read his book when you get a chance.Howard discusses the story today.hOi9tCTeU24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bouche Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 I missed all of this today somehow on the stiletto. Howard is weird man. He says in part 2 that he'll talk to Artie when Artie feels like calling him. That's f'd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deranger Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 Sad news. I got the chance to listen to Stern again in Oct. Artie was talking openly about therapy and working on getting "better".I think howard was pretty respectful there all things considered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 He's got a DVD that you could probably buy or torrent called "It's the Whiskey Talking". It's no holds barred stand-up that is really funny. Here's a little run-down of the current news mashed with his Rolling Stone interview Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chameleon Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 He was great on Mad TCV and the William shatner Roast. He's going downthe same road as Chris farley and getting really obese.So sad.Hope he pulls out of his tail spin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 Artie recently lost TONS of weight. he dropped from 300 down to about 220 by october and really started looking like he did back in the early 2000's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phishtaper Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 that's very true, bouche. he also has a new girlfriend and all accounts are that he was reducing shows and trying to take things easier. he was on his way to recovery (albeit still quite bumpy) which is why this is surprising. i still love and care for artie. you can't not care for him if you regularly listen to the show.

RUSTLE Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 this seems so surreal to me. i can't imagine what the guy is going through. at this point i hope he makes it back to better health, i don't know if he'll be back on the show, but that would be amazing. i had a feeling something serious was going down.the stern show makes my commute from dundas to toronto a breeze. i laugh out loud to myself on the train often, and i hope it never goes away.

balogna pogna Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 (edited) Artie's new DVD "Jack and Coke" is really good too. Edited January 11, 2010 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
