Artie Lange Resigns From Howard Stern Show

Daaamn son! Always liked Artie Lange on Howard Stern, thought he brought a much better vibe than Jackie the Jokeman (I thought he was a big influence on the show's racist elements).. So I'm sorry to hear Artie Lange is apparently out, especially under these circumstances

Artie Lange Fight On Howard Stern Show

siruisbuzz Artie Lange seems to be a person that deals in extremes. Yesterday, a docile Artie slept his way through the Howard Stern Show, and today, he exploded into a rage that resulted in a physical altercation with his assistant Teddy...

...Artie threw a glass of water across the studio, jumped over the studio console, and went right after Teddy. The studio erupted into confusion as Stern Show staffers threw themselves between the 300 pound Lange, and Teddy. Artie was so angered that he literally would have ripped off Teddy’s head had he been able to get to him. Robin was screaming, Stern was calling for control, and the sounds of a scuffle filled the airwaves.

Once settled, Howard expressed grave concern for what had transpired. Artie came back into the studio, and was still angered. At one point Lange even spoke of resigning from the show. Stern stated that the behavior exhibited by Artie was unacceptable and that informed Artie that he needs to maintain control of himself. Artie, speaking about himself said that he was not a good person, and there was no way he could guarantee that such an episode would not happen again. It was suggested that Artie leave the studio, which he did.
...

Apparently Artie Lange is now considered "resigned"? Ouch.
