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?
Hanzi had some small strokes of genius in his schizophrenic crack babble 😅. I loved when he would go off on Howard and Robin for being in the illuminati. They did seem to get real uncomfortable when he would bring that shit up
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.
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.
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.
Tex Truman I think the show carried itself up until they left KROCK. Howard actually cared back then...he had to, terrestrial was a different ball game, a lot was at stake and ratings were the be all end all. Once they hit SIRIUS though, it was 100% Artie. He was the SIRIUS years. When he left, the show died.
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
As much as I don’t care for Fred I disagree with him not being grounded. He’s one of the only ones I’ve heard call out Howie for his oddities over the years.
It sickening to see what a lefty hypocrite pos stern turned into- massive hypocrite after years of black face, retard, midget, demeaning “broads”, over and over and over even guns, trump, just the Ultimate hypocrite. Guy deserves to be cancelled like everyone else.
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.
@@alienbotfarm187 he was being tested regularly and passed them. He's taken himself out of shoe business for now because he doesn't want to relapse. The guy seems to be doing better.
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
It’s because Howard wants to be know. As the guy who talked to Paul McCartney. And also retards. Not just retards. Because it’s the only thing he didn’t have. He took the easy way
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.
@@georgeburns8447 Hey, I’ll have to disagree with you. Artie was the one guy on the show that was real and he brought it to the table. That’s what made him an asset and why Howard hung onto him. He lost control one to many times and ultimately was released from the show. Jackie was funny for his brand of humor but money was more important to him and Howard called his buff. Stuttering John, Jackie and Artie all made bad decisions and probably regret it to this day. I guess we can agree to disagree. Give my regards to Gracie😸
@@georgeburns8447 I've been a listener for 30+ years. I liked Artie on the show...at first. I guess when his addictions got the better of him he turned into such a mean, hateful person. But when Billy West was in studio that was the best era, to me.
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 !
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 is legit - thats why everyone luvs him & creepy racist Howard is the hero of all middle aged privileged suburban ish Lib housewives....... Good Luck w/ your career - Bro - awesome memory...... you got serious ballz doing stand up - I''d vomit from fear of failure!
Thats so cool to know this!!! Im glad people still love Artie. I wish he would have came to a place near me, i would have loved to go see him. I think his talent was best on the Stern show. He brought the energy that glued the show together and made it magical. Sad Artie's demons and Sterns ego and greed to be mainstream made him go downhill
Yeah. It will never happen. Howard’s ego at this point is so insane. He wouldn’t care if it was his biggest show. Cause even his average shows make him so much money. And having Artie on wouldn’t just be Howard’s biggest interview but also the biggest thing Artie would ever do. And Howard wouldn’t ever do that for someone who he thinks took his show for granted.
If Howard asked Hillary about Epsteins pee dough Island it would have been huge. But he only gets those interviews because he won't ask those type of questions. Howard has so much money I don't think he cares about getting listeners anymore. He wants social acceptance and he wants a different image.
@@XViTNg Agree. Sterns ego is so off the charts and he lives in his own bubble where he still believe people really like him these days. At this point he has invested in Sirus so much that he gets away and does whatever he wants. NOT on his talent or listening numbers etc.
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.
@@stevecollins9650 Lol eh it was much more than that.. Artie was always the best, and I think helped light a fire under Howards ass. He's still good at interviewing people, but the entirety of his show, and how he treats callers/ people who differ even slightly to his own opinions.. Treating his staff like shit over almost literally spilt milk.. He turns into a bitch. Then you have Robbin, who will just blindly sound like an idiot, agreeing with everything he says.. (but that's not anything new).. You know what, yeah, I do miss the times he had porn stars getting their twats twiddled on a vibrating saddle. 😂It beats hearing Howard going on and on for an hour, about a bagel being missing from the greenroom.
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!
It’s called growth, success and wealth.... he went from outcast to “one of the greatest interviews in the business” you think he’s going to reject that kind of adoration?
Bitching about drama in Howards life when he has his own major issues to deal with that are 100x as bad. Artie doesn't like to deal with Artie, just everyone else!!
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...
@@Tony_Cardoza I agree !! Definitely Jackie......plus the amount of things Sal did on that show is epic ! The dude was a guy who used to call and prank Baba-booey constantly & he turned that into a permanent job on the biggest radio show in history 😂😂😂 pretty impressive stuff ! ( A.k.a. - Sal the stockbroker 😂)
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.
drewzifer Howard isn't friends with half of these famous idiots. he's doing a radio show you brainless pee on you're worse than Jesse Ventura with your theories. psychopath good riddance go listen to Howard light aka Opie bitch tits radio
this always happens.....look at most musicians......their music is pure and at their best early on......not only because they eventually run out of ideathat arent as goos as early on.....but they get people in their ears talking about giving them more money if they change or they just want that themselves and you change........happens in many ways of life.......but you cant expect people to still love them when they change so drastically......remember how early on howard use to interact so much with fans and for at least 15 years he does nothing for them......he in some wasy was like early punk bands.......he was the regular guy who entertained people and we could relate........then he turned into the clash when they became popular and changed and were no longer average guys who were not about money and fame
Actually the show started it's downturn when he first went to Sirius and they were on 5 days a week LIVE. Then it was cut down to 4 days a week and there was a huge lawsuit for Howard's tapes of all his older shows. Nobody realized why he settled for just the tapes and no money. Well, Boy Gary had plans for these tapes that fucked all you followers who never put two and two together. They went to 3 days a week live and you paid for 5 days! All you got was the stuff we all listened to for 15 years for free! That's when I left.Howard could not continue with his politically correct liberal rich friends out at the Hamptons and trash all of them as he did for years and years. Remember how he lamented that these people hated him? What a joke. No Artie, he is not the best ever anymore. He's become a POS like all his friends.
I don't feel for him, there is a very good reason STERN gave him the could shoulder..and Artie painted himself out here to be a little more reasonable than he really is
@@highgonejhin666 I agree. Artie doesn't get it. Addicts think their redemption story automatically excuses them from all the stupid stuff they did. Meanwhile they forget that the people they are now mad at gave them 3 or 4 chances and do overs. Stern knows that if he gave Artie his old job back he'd be back on drugs within the week. Artie just can't see it
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.
Are you serious right now? This is like one of those things that Howard said and everybody internalized and accepted. His stories were lame and just rambled on and on. He was as bad as Johnny Fratto's story-telling.
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.
I loved Artie on the show too but he just couldn't hack it. I don't know what his issue was but I suspect it has a lot to do with self esteem. I think he didn't feel worthy enough to be on the show and fell into a depression that led to alcohol and drug abuse and the rest is history.
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.
@@Machiave11i umm yes it absolutely was the best Stern years. They were finally free of the FCC and relentless commercialism that forced 30-40+ minutes per talk hour into commercials. That's 30-40 minutes per hour being mindless, horrible commercials. So you could easily miss the entire show during your morning commute. And then FCC interference further cut everything up and destroyed the content,. YES, the initial satellite days were THE BEST STERN DAYS. If you say otherwise then that means you weren't a true fan or you were too cheap to buy satellite radio when he switched over.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Not even close. First, the 90s were the peak of the Stern years. And second, Artie had no comic timing whatsoever. He constantly dragged out "jokes" way beyond their best used by date, and Howard had to often abruptly cut him off. And FYI, today's Howard can go F himself.
My dad kinda stopped turning it on around that time. Also wasn’t too fond of Sirius switch. I spent a lot of time as a young teenager watching this show late night on E! Channel. That was awesome
He was a great addition but he's not the ultimate comedian.. I was just watching the Russell Brand interview they had and I didn't even realize Artie was in the background.. as in as soon as other people with huge personalities used to come to the show he was always quiet.. in my opinion he had the easiest job in the world and still failed 😂😂
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....
Political Goblins he stabbed Trump in the back.. filthy rich hypocrite Howard loves socialism and liberalism, yet why isn’t he donating 50%+ of his wealth “for the leftist cause”? He’s one of the biggest capitalists America ever made.💰🗳💰💰💰🐀🐀💥🔨
@@jerrysanders9101 lol you guys are just salty because successful people you thought represented people like you, like Howard Stern, Eminem etc., told you to fuck off because you take yourself too seriously. You're stuck with has beens like James Woods and that guy from the New Adventures of Superman . 🤣 You thought that Trump as president was going to legitimize being an asshole, but you found out that you're just as much of an outsider, perhaps moreso than before Trump got elected. You stuck your neck out and it didn't pay off.
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!
@@gzuskreist1021 Come down to Florida and live in a community of them and work for them as a contractor and only then can you have an opinion let alone call anyone an antisemite.
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.
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
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.
Howard should have retired. He doesn't need the money. He is probably afraid to quit then he would have to be home with Beth full time and she will realize what a dick he is.
Jennifer Timlin Howard’s Howard. He’s an image of God loves by God, like the rest of us. He started out with just brains, balls, and bullshit. Now he’s a billionaire. If you hate him (or anyone else) you’re hating yourself.
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.
Should have been an o and a fan with that being said Artie is the fucking king best set I’ve ever seen hands down blows burr norton or anyone out of the water besides Patrice
You're not missing anything. The show is terrible. He's even shackled Sal & Richard for the most part. Bits are now manufactured by the likes of Chris Wilding, Mike Trainor and Jonathan Blitt. All of their bits are terrible. The show is a shell of what it was. It's the type of show Howard would eviscerate even a decade ago.
@@hattorihanzo2275 how is Sal still working there in today's PC cancel culture so many clips of him saying the N word almost every show lmao. I guess when Howard tows the line twitter will question why he has Sal still there and how howard had the Phelps family and Daniel carver on their . Only a matter of time probably why Howard walks in eggshells. Who knows
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.
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.
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.
he used to send John and KC and Gary Garber and others to ask celebs rude questions, now there's no middleman...there may be something to what you said
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.
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?
It's weird, right? Stern has no reason to do anything other than exactly what he wants to do. Every way the show has changed is 100% because Stern wanted to change the show. What's amazing is that even after working with Stern for years & spending time with him outside of the show, Artie can only think of Stern as the guy he listened to on the radio in the 80's & 90's and not as a real human being. It's no different than if being upset to find out that Sylvester Stallone wasn't really Rocky Balboa.
fuck that...the current show, the PC-ness, the desire for mainstream acceptance, the banning of top contributors. is an insult to what the show was...it's like if Lenny Bruce turned into Steve Allen
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.
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.
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.
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.
Wow, would I ever like to hear that clip too. Considering what Howard meant to Artie in his early life, that's the biggest shot he could have took at Wiggy. Yay Artie!
Artie Lange does have talent. I thought I was the only one who saw through Ellen’s phony act. And yes--Stern approved every line of Artie’s bit, especially this one.
yeah but for me i shut off sirius when its not artie years i still listen to the new shows in the mornings but the replays and sternthology i cant hear it jackie was not funny to me
there are many versions of Howard, the years of skits, the years with Jackie, the years where he relied heavily on wackpackers, the Artie years, the ETM years, and now Howard before he retires, just a plain old interviewer.
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 dont think he'd do it since artie has nothing to lose. howard likes to be in control and have the upper hand and he wouldnt in an interview like that. id love to see it happen though
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.
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.
True that Linda, i think Howard truly care for Artie, but when he left, he felt that he fail with him,, and people around Howard bad mouthing Artie made more difficult for Howard, to want to have anything to do with Artie again, after 2 years of not seeing him,, just saying,,.
Eh, this is a rose-tinted view of it. Doesn't explain Howard continuing to treat others like shit. And besides, it's a common trajectory for edgy pop culture figures; eventually they become part of the elite and lose their edge because they get comfortable.
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.
He should literally dye his hair. Even today he would look so much better, even with the nose. But at least he has trimmed his hair more recently (before is recent disappearance). Seeing his long, wild grey hair made him look like a half-crazed wino waking up on a stoop at the Bowery
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.
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.
darnellio yea they're all just too old now. He, Robin, Gary and Ronnie are all old and grey now. Sal is a comedy producer now. It's really not that funny anymore

Howard has sold out and become what he used to make fun of BUT as far as Artie Lange is concerned the guy is responsible for his own self-destruction. That isn't on Stern.
No he's not. He's barely a footnote in comedy. You seriously think he ranks up there with Richard Pryor, Steve Martin, and Norm McDonald? Not even close. He's more at the level of Bobcat Goldfwaite.
@spankynater4242 He's a comedic legend TO ME. These types of things are subjective. If I think he's funnier than Richard Pryor (which I don't by the way) then that's MY opinion. People have various tastes when it comes to food, music, comedy, etc. Why would you try to correct someone's opinion? Arguing who's the funniest comic is like arguing who's the best rapper or what's the best food. I can't make Artie a legend to YOU no more than I can convince you that pancakes and hashbrowns is the best breakfast.......and I'm not trying lol.
I quit listening to the Stern Show after Artie left, i cancelled Sirius and it never bothered me at all, because lets be honest, the best days of Howard ended after Artie left, and thats the truth to any real Stern fan.
I shit canned my subscription when he kept having Nick Cannon, Schumer, C. Handler, on 6x a year each. That was between 2014-2015(it was so difficult to listen to the show around this time). My sister still has it in her car and I caught it one day for 3 hours, damn it sucked.
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.
Thats how you sum up the Howard Stern show for the 25+ years leading up to now? Its painfully obvious that you are a recent Stern fan...you didn't listen to him in the 90's or early 00's. Everything you just said amounted to 1% of the show.
Has anyone noticed that when you listen to former Stern employees they sound like they have PTSD. Props to Artie for keeping it real and telling it as he sees it. Stern is not anti-establishment , he is now the establishment and will protect his cash sources with a vengeance.
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?
crazy
Too bad Saget sarcastically boasted about being a pin cushion for the jabs
Wait, Norm died?! I didn't even know he was sick!!

Hanzi had some small strokes of genius in his schizophrenic crack babble 😅. I loved when he would go off on Howard and Robin for being in the illuminati. They did seem to get real uncomfortable when he would bring that shit up
@@B1GK1NG Nobody cares what you mentioned. Get bent. Stern rules.
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.
truth
@@ganglabesh Yep... the 1980's/90's always had it's own version of fake/PC/authoritarianism that he always fought against. *Now he has embraced it.*
Well good. He's a 70 year old. It would be stupid to compete with millennial internet edgelords. He should have matured long ago actually.
Amen to that
He's been let into the elite circles that's why he's changed.
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.
Same!! I also did Construction in DC and we always listened to Stern,, so many great memories
Which trade?
I'm a land surveyor did a lot of residential work. Always loved working in a new development with framers or someone blasting stern back in the 90s
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.
The $500 lifetime deal?
Lol no one has Sirius anymore
Same!
Bonfire is pretty good, but not as good without soder
I wouldn't complain I'd brag. At that price
Artie sounds fucking great. He's starting to really look like grandpa munster too, which is pretty awesome.
Tex Truman I think the show carried itself up until they left KROCK. Howard actually cared back then...he had to, terrestrial was a different ball game, a lot was at stake and ratings were the be all end all. Once they hit SIRIUS though, it was 100% Artie. He was the SIRIUS years. When he left, the show died.
Tex Truman i think KROCK ended in 2002?
He looks like grandpa monsters Grandpa.
He looks like grandma Munster too somehow
Grandpa Munster omg! You called it!
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
Dude, your so right. Like the show would was huge regardless but Arties Era took it to a whole new level.
As much as I don’t care for Fred I disagree with him not being grounded. He’s one of the only ones I’ve heard call out Howie for his oddities over the years.
howard did know how good artie was which is why he hired him
Please, I'm no Howard fanboy, but who in show business isn't narcissistic? That's a prerequisit.
It sickening to see what a lefty hypocrite pos stern turned into- massive hypocrite after years of black face, retard, midget, demeaning “broads”, over and over and over even guns, trump, just the Ultimate hypocrite. Guy deserves to be cancelled like everyone else.
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.
Yikes, what path is the right one? from what i seen he is doing worse than in this interview
@@alienbotfarm187 he's 5 years sober now i think he's doing 10x times better now

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
Hums
It’s because Howard wants to be know. As the guy who talked to Paul McCartney. And also retards. Not just retards. Because it’s the only thing he didn’t have. He took the easy way
Don't even look at him.
Opie and Anthony mocked Stern for becoming Imus but then they became Opie and Anthony 😞
That is true. Howard became mean. I LOVED him. I listened to him for 25 years
One of the fastest 38 minutes of my life. Artie makes it so easy to pay attention to his stories.
Because he tells the truth... that's my gut feeling
Never give up!
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.
Meanwhile it's just Robin cackling and just copying and repeating what the others say
Artie and Eric the midget bits were legendary
The show sucked when Artie was on it. And it sucks now. It was only good when Jackie Martling was an employee.
@@georgeburns8447 Hey, I’ll have to disagree with you. Artie was the one guy on the show that was real and he brought it to the table. That’s what made him an asset and why Howard hung onto him. He lost control one to many times and ultimately was released from the show. Jackie was funny for his brand of humor but money was more important to him and Howard called his buff. Stuttering John, Jackie and Artie all made bad decisions and probably regret it to this day. I guess we can agree to disagree. Give my regards to Gracie😸
@@georgeburns8447 I've been a listener for 30+ years. I liked Artie on the show...at first. I guess when his addictions got the better of him he turned into such a mean, hateful person. But when Billy West was in studio that was the best era, to me.
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 !
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.
Thats awesome. Good shit, brother. I hope your career is blossoming
Artie is legit - thats why everyone luvs him & creepy racist Howard is the hero of all middle aged privileged suburban ish Lib housewives....... Good Luck w/ your career - Bro - awesome memory...... you got serious ballz doing stand up - I''d vomit from fear of failure!
@@JustinSpakable only in his mind.
Thats so cool to know this!!! Im glad people still love Artie. I wish he would have came to a place near me, i would have loved to go see him. I think his talent was best on the Stern show. He brought the energy that glued the show together and made it magical. Sad Artie's demons and Sterns ego and greed to be mainstream made him go downhill
White Boy with a Father and the Spin
If Howard has Artie on today for an hour long interview it would be Howard’s biggest interview
if only Howard had the BALLS he did back in the day it would happen
Yeah. It will never happen. Howard’s ego at this point is so insane. He wouldn’t care if it was his biggest show. Cause even his average shows make him so much money. And having Artie on wouldn’t just be Howard’s biggest interview but also the biggest thing Artie would ever do. And Howard wouldn’t ever do that for someone who he thinks took his show for granted.
Artie is a nobody in Hollywood, so Howard has no time for him.
If Howard asked Hillary about Epsteins pee dough Island it would have been huge. But he only gets those interviews because he won't ask those type of questions.
Howard has so much money I don't think he cares about getting listeners anymore. He wants social acceptance and he wants a different image.
@@XViTNg Agree. Sterns ego is so off the charts and he lives in his own bubble where he still believe people really like him these days. At this point he has invested in Sirus so much that he gets away and does whatever he wants. NOT on his talent or listening numbers etc.
The craziest thing is watching him nod off and never miss a beat while telling the story. Im happy hes clean again so happy
So he says.
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.
He has turned into a Yenta
@@bigmacfullerton7870 😂exaaaactly.
I never watched stern. I like listening to old shows only if artie was there. Artie was the best sidekick that show ever had
I can see you're a fan of the Porn star interview era. Break out the Sybian recently?
@@stevecollins9650 Lol eh it was much more than that.. Artie was always the best, and I think helped light a fire under Howards ass. He's still good at interviewing people, but the entirety of his show, and how he treats callers/ people who differ even slightly to his own opinions.. Treating his staff like shit over almost literally spilt milk.. He turns into a bitch. Then you have Robbin, who will just blindly sound like an idiot, agreeing with everything he says.. (but that's not anything new).. You know what, yeah, I do miss the times he had porn stars getting their twats twiddled on a vibrating saddle. 😂It beats hearing Howard going on and on for an hour, about a bagel being missing from the greenroom.
Anyone else on an Artie Lange binge?
Yes Idk how or why
He’s the man
I am
👍
Thanks to Rogan
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!
He’s absolutely right. Howard changed 100 percent
Howard is funny as shit but $ can definitely change someone✌️
i miss u
The 1990s Howard would slap the shit out of the 2010s Howard
Agree 100% He didn't really care or respect his audience , he just wanted to be rich and liked by other rich people in Hollywood
It’s called growth, success and wealth.... he went from outcast to “one of the greatest interviews in the business” you think he’s going to reject that kind of adoration?
He a old man nah
wiggy grew up
100% he sold out
Artie Lange a continued comedic outlook on dark things truly is an awesome thing.
I like how you can date Lange videos by his nose shape. BC before collapse, AC After
Professor Statisyahu Lmao..
if he fixed his nose. he would be unrecognizable.
motorboater Look at him on Joe Rogans podcast. With the exception of his nose, he looks great.
@R M or is that the greatest life?
Bitching about drama in Howards life when he has his own major issues to deal with that are 100x as bad. Artie doesn't like to deal with Artie, just everyone else!!
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...
I think the real tragedy was Jackie leaving !
All good things come to a end....
@@kingrey465 lmao
@@chriskelly4477 Jackie was the best. Sal was better than Artie on Stern.

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.
That he sold out and isn't the same Howard Stern that made him popular.
+Marcus McDonald I miss the old Howie who used to ask his female guests how many bowel movements they had a day.

this always happens.....look at most musicians......their music is pure and at their best early on......not only because they eventually run out of ideathat arent as goos as early on.....but they get people in their ears talking about giving them more money if they change or they just want that themselves and you change........happens in many ways of life.......but you cant expect people to still love them when they change so drastically......remember how early on howard use to interact so much with fans and for at least 15 years he does nothing for them......he in some wasy was like early punk bands.......he was the regular guy who entertained people and we could relate........then he turned into the clash when they became popular and changed and were no longer average guys who were not about money and fame
Actually the show started it's downturn when he first went to Sirius and they were on 5 days a week LIVE. Then it was cut down to 4 days a week and there was a huge lawsuit for Howard's tapes of all his older shows. Nobody realized why he settled for just the tapes and no money. Well, Boy Gary had plans for these tapes that fucked all you followers who never put two and two together. They went to 3 days a week live and you paid for 5 days! All you got was the stuff we all listened to for 15 years for free! That's when I left.Howard could not continue with his politically correct liberal rich friends out at the Hamptons and trash all of them as he did for years and years. Remember how he lamented that these people hated him? What a joke. No Artie, he is not the best ever anymore. He's become a POS like all his friends.
I feel for Artie, friendships breakups are heartbreaking. Love ya Artie .
Waaaa
I don't feel for him, there is a very good reason STERN gave him the could shoulder..and Artie painted himself out here to be a little more reasonable than he really is
@@highgonejhin666 I agree. Artie doesn't get it. Addicts think their redemption story automatically excuses them from all the stupid stuff they did. Meanwhile they forget that the people they are now mad at gave them 3 or 4 chances and do overs. Stern knows that if he gave Artie his old job back he'd be back on drugs within the week. Artie just can't see it
I feel nothing for this dirtbag. He ruined every single relationship and friendship all on his own. Artie is the true definition of a dirtbag.
RIP Artie’s nose
SO REFRESHING TO HEAR A GROUP OF FOLKS CONVERSE WITH A HIGH LEVEL OF COMMUNICATION ABILITIES . Humorous and mature.
When he talked about himself, Howard and robin being together again in the hospital room I cried... that made me really sad.
Artie got dumped. I loved my first girlfriend but don't care if she has ass cancer now, really.
It is sad, but we all know that Howard was only cordial for Robin’s sake..
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.
God…Artie can tell a story. Who’s listening in 2023?
Are you serious right now? This is like one of those things that Howard said and everybody internalized and accepted. His stories were lame and just rambled on and on. He was as bad as Johnny Fratto's story-telling.
@@spankynater4242
He was great on Joe Rogan.
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.
Gameclipse me too the show really went to shit when Artie left.
truth
I constantly listen to the artie years thru youtube. The fucking best.
Artie became super annoying right before he left, he ran his course, the show goes on and it's still good.
I loved Artie on the show too but he just couldn't hack it. I don't know what his issue was but I suspect it has a lot to do with self esteem. I think he didn't feel worthy enough to be on the show and fell into a depression that led to alcohol and drug abuse and the rest is history.
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
That sir, is charisma.
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.
ssdsw
Sirius era wasn't the prime of the show.
@@Machiave11i so not arguing this, bait head.
@@Machiave11i umm yes it absolutely was the best Stern years. They were finally free of the FCC and relentless commercialism that forced 30-40+ minutes per talk hour into commercials. That's 30-40 minutes per hour being mindless, horrible commercials. So you could easily miss the entire show during your morning commute. And then FCC interference further cut everything up and destroyed the content,. YES, the initial satellite days were THE BEST STERN DAYS. If you say otherwise then that means you weren't a true fan or you were too cheap to buy satellite radio when he switched over.
@@JustJesstheMess To you, but it wasn't, not even for Howard. He was never able to capture his audience back after he moved to Sirius.
artie, god I love that guy. i really do. Thank God the 10 years of Stern shows with him are recorded
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.
typical of ... those people
Abandonment issues
Yep, he's the only one allowed to pursue more money to add to his billions
basically he exploits them and profits off them
Billy West did okay.
Artie was the best part of the Stern show. I saw his standup live in Miami. He was great.
I agree. Nice AR btw (two years later).
@@DoggoWillink thanks
Im glad opie radio is getting more video related content
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.
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.
Artie's epic battles with Alice are classics!
Artie is so right, and that saddens me so much
@James Thomas yeah, but he's still 100% right
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.
How can anyone not love this great-artist!?
Artie is a great comic. Love him.
H🎉😮😊 and 😊🎉😊 you
Imagine having Robin's hospital visit with Robin, Howard and Artie on tape??? I would pay to hear that conversation.
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.
Not even close. First, the 90s were the peak of the Stern years. And second, Artie had no comic timing whatsoever. He constantly dragged out "jokes" way beyond their best used by date, and Howard had to often abruptly cut him off. And FYI, today's Howard can go F himself.
My dad kinda stopped turning it on around that time. Also wasn’t too fond of Sirius switch. I spent a lot of time as a young teenager watching this show late night on E! Channel. That was awesome
He was a great addition but he's not the ultimate comedian.. I was just watching the Russell Brand interview they had and I didn't even realize Artie was in the background.. as in as soon as other people with huge personalities used to come to the show he was always quiet.. in my opinion he had the easiest job in the world and still failed 😂😂
great show, hire Artie
dmoney668 nice try, Artie
Opie and Artie... wow

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
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.
@@YourName-jm7lz you defend howard like he's your boyfriend. Douglas is exactly right, you just cant handle the truth!

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.

You're not missing anything. The show is terrible. He's even shackled Sal & Richard for the most part. Bits are now manufactured by the likes of Chris Wilding, Mike Trainor and Jonathan Blitt.

Artie made that show even better, all due respect to Jackie. Artie Lange is a great talent. Stand up guy.
Nope-Jackie years were the best. Always got the feeling Artie was trying a little too hard and the show noticeably slipped when Jackie left.
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.

Nah, the Howard Stern show is over.
Yeah Norm Macdonald stood up for Artie on Howard's show. He Norm took over his show.
Gary the retard was the pillar of Howard stern show
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.
Jimmy kimmmel ruined him another phony hypocrite POS
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.
Right if you are not PC in Hollywood you are done. Hollywood is full of libtards. And Howard has no mind of his own.

How was that funny? Outside of th third-grade playground.
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.
I hung on til early 2018... he was boring me to tears. It was like listening to Rush Limbaugh.
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?
It's weird, right? Stern has no reason to do anything other than exactly what he wants to do. Every way the show has changed is 100% because Stern wanted to change the show. What's amazing is that even after working with Stern for years & spending time with him outside of the show, Artie can only think of Stern as the guy he listened to on the radio in the 80's & 90's and not as a real human being. It's no different than if being upset to find out that Sylvester Stallone wasn't really Rocky Balboa.
Clorox Germicidal Bleach Hmmm...George Carlin was still pretty edgy while he was old. It's more an attitude/integrity thing.

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 TH-cam takes it away.
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
The greatest segment ever that I watched countless times and all of you should, was when Artie fights with Andrew Dice Clay. Epic.
Did he ever get that 5 grand? 😂
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.
The show was the best before artie but artie was a perfect fit
Artie was great but I love the old shows . With Jackie laughing and making weird noises.
I'll deny it all day and night. The Billy West and Jackie Puppet years were the best.
I have been a Howard Stern listener for over 24 years, but the show lost something when Artie left. Admittedly I left with him
i agree.
Artie was half the reason I watched the show.
@@MidwestFarmToys Howard is probably over it as well. Too many years. Time to move on to a new chapter.
Wasnt the Artie Lang show
@@ronnflores5333 no, but he added a lot.
The “visiting robin when she was sick” part…i teared up…not gonna lie….😢
Is it possible that Howard as become all politically correct because he wanted to be in the "In Crowd" with all those Hollywood types?
This is 100% it. He’s Hollywood Howie now and has been since early mid 2000’s but the last 5 years he’s just become Jimmy Kimmels secret lover.
@@YourName-jm7lz by being funny. that's how.
@@YourName-jm7lz Lots of shows go on being funny.... Howard's getting cold
@@YourName-jm7lz Not just my opinion by far. And no, I don't listen anymore.
@@YourName-jm7lz I said cold, not old. Howard's gotten cold. Letterman never got cold.
I miss Artie but i miss Billy West the most.
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.
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.
Artie looks like something out of a David Lynch film.
Tom H looks like gene wilder if he lived in that chocolate factory for another fifty years
+taliakka 27, LOL
Artie looks like the adult Augustus Gloop.
Tom H Eraserhead
The Elephant Man.
He looks a bit like Peter Jackson here, no offense to Peter or Artie.
Man this was such an interesting listen. Especially the part about going to visit Robin. Thanks for the great upload!
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.
You can always gauge the age of a video by what shape Artie's nose is in. 🤣
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.
WOW very interesting. I'd LOVE to hear that clip. Go Artie :)
Wow, would I ever like to hear that clip too. Considering what Howard meant to Artie in his early life, that's the biggest shot he could have took at Wiggy. Yay Artie!
Howard Stern wears a F'ing wig?????????????
@@bettygrable5035 yup 100 percent
Wow, it probably was scrubbed. Howie has way too much money to be so brittle
Artie Lange does have talent. I thought I was the only one who saw through Ellen’s phony act. And yes--Stern approved every line of Artie’s bit, especially this one.
She's the worst
the artie years had way more laughs just not the same
ppl say that about Jackie.. ppl say that about ETM..ppl say that about Hank..ppl say that about E. no era will be happy.
yeah but for me i shut off sirius when its not artie years i still listen to the new shows in the mornings but the replays and sternthology i cant hear it jackie was not funny to me
there are many versions of Howard, the years of skits, the years with Jackie, the years where he relied heavily on wackpackers, the Artie years, the ETM years, and now Howard before he retires, just a plain old interviewer.
that's why Howard was the best. every era was slightly different but still terrific.
90's were the best for howard. he was in top form then
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
if howard did a interview with artie after this, the world would stop during that interview. THAT SHOULD HAPPEN
Maybe one day
i dont think he'd do it since artie has nothing to lose. howard likes to be in control and have the upper hand and he wouldnt in an interview like that. id love to see it happen though
Artie is a funny guy. Hopefully he's doing good. 👍😎
😬
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.
martinishot that always happe ns the axman gets rid of the wrong people! Im a victim of the same shit right now
Thank you for the insight
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.
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.
True that Linda, i think Howard truly care for Artie, but when he left, he felt that he fail with him,, and people around Howard bad mouthing Artie made more difficult for Howard, to want to have anything to do with Artie again, after 2 years of not seeing him,, just saying,,.
Eh, this is a rose-tinted view of it. Doesn't explain Howard continuing to treat others like shit. And besides, it's a common trajectory for edgy pop culture figures; eventually they become part of the elite and lose their edge because they get comfortable.
@@OwMeEd also because time provides wisdom
I can't believe artie looks like the gym teacher lady from the "Porkeys" movies.
Buella? Buella ball-breaker!
Very true
trillzzz of skillzzz LOL! Ms. Ball breaker!
"Do not attempt to apprehend this prick.
It is armed and dangerous."
🤣
@Timothy Blackburn no that was Louise Fletcher, not Nancy Parsons
Artie. We all heard you, in real time, on the air, for hours. And for YEARS. That was alllllll you.
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 Lange 10 years off the Howard Stern Show TODAY 12/09/2019
And the show has turned into garbage ever since he left. Artie made that show funny the last few years he was on..
Unbelievable - I can't believe it's been 10 years! I still love the show but man, I used to belly laugh at Artie and Howard back in the day
@Metropcs Metropcs his daughters are getting older.,it makes sense
havent listened since
When did Artie transform into Beethoven?
The St. Bernard?? 😁
Now he’s the elephant man face. Rocky. Lol
Lol
He should literally dye his hair. Even today he would look so much better, even with the nose. But at least he has trimmed his hair more recently (before is recent disappearance). Seeing his long, wild grey hair made him look like a half-crazed wino waking up on a stoop at the Bowery
Excuse me sir, he prefers to be called Ludwig
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.
Agree, shows gone downhill since he left.
@Grant yep its on here just search artie lange first appearance he said I love outta control guys go get in some more trouble and we'll have you back
He couldn’t possibly be on that corporate media shill the show has become.
@Kazuya Mishima The Show sucks. I quit in ‘18. I should have years before that.
Glad this interview showed up on my page. Great interview. No surprize to hear about the Stern freeze-out.
Artie has been one of my favorite comedians for years. I wish him all the best.
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.
darnellio yea they're all just too old now. He, Robin, Gary and Ronnie are all old and grey now. Sal is a comedy producer now. It's really not that funny anymore
Would have been my last subscription month, but it just auto resubscribed 6 more months.. i'll make a note to see if things turn around.. i really hope they do..
GNJK
Ur not n touch. ASSuming u can make it n2 ur 60z, u DUMB-AZZ, wit ur lame-azz GovernMENTAL appaRATus, gearing-up 2 kill u.... We will c how n touch u r. I don't think u will b n touch, cause ur already disCONnected!
SMH
Howard has sold out and become what he used to make fun of BUT as far as Artie Lange is concerned the guy is responsible for his own self-destruction. That isn't on Stern.
See ya later pal, you’re a loser
Artie is a comedic legend...period.
🤣I'm a new Comic and want your OPINION.
Watch my Comic Bombs set and if u lol,please SUBSCRIBE.✌🏾
(Sort by most popular)
No he's not. He's barely a footnote in comedy. You seriously think he ranks up there with Richard Pryor, Steve Martin, and Norm McDonald? Not even close. He's more at the level of Bobcat Goldfwaite.
@spankynater4242 He's a comedic legend TO ME. These types of things are subjective. If I think he's funnier than Richard Pryor (which I don't by the way) then that's MY opinion. People have various tastes when it comes to food, music, comedy, etc. Why would you try to correct someone's opinion? Arguing who's the funniest comic is like arguing who's the best rapper or what's the best food. I can't make Artie a legend to YOU no more than I can convince you that pancakes and hashbrowns is the best breakfast.......and I'm not trying lol.
How this guy is still alive is amazing with what he’s done to himself…..
Here, Artie looks like the way I always pictured vinny boombatz
I quit listening to the Stern Show after Artie left, i cancelled Sirius and it never bothered me at all, because lets be honest, the best days of Howard ended after Artie left, and thats the truth to any real Stern fan.
I shit canned my subscription when he kept having Nick Cannon, Schumer, C. Handler, on 6x a year each. That was between 2014-2015(it was so difficult to listen to the show around this time).
My sister still has it in her car and I caught it one day for 3 hours, damn it sucked.
Lol, you young kids that listened for a year are obviously the best judges for the show.
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.
Thats how you sum up the Howard Stern show for the 25+ years leading up to now? Its painfully obvious that you are a recent Stern fan...you didn't listen to him in the 90's or early 00's. Everything you just said amounted to 1% of the show.
Howard's prime was between 1987 and 1992. By '93 the FCC had broken his spirit. Also, when he divorced Allison he became less funny very noticeably.
Has anyone noticed that when you listen to former Stern employees they sound like they have PTSD. Props to Artie for keeping it real and telling it as he sees it. Stern is not anti-establishment , he is now the establishment and will protect his cash sources with a vengeance.
