Artie Lange walks off the Howard Stern Show

By Adam Abramson

Howard Stern Show fixture Artie Lange walked out of the studio after an argument and subsequent outburst at his personal assistant on the air.

Lange, who became a part of the show's daily routine in October of 2001, was spotted disputing with his assistant in the hallways off the air. When it was brought up to Stern, he asked the assistant Teddy to come into the studio and discuss the situation on the air.

Lange began to express his disdain for his assistant of nearly two years because of recent money issues. Teddy retorted by implying there's more to the job than meets the eye.

The two are slated to travel to Amsterdam this evening and the squabble began over setting up Lange's travel accommodations. However, the in-studio dispute quickly escalated into a discussion about how much Lange finances Teddy, who is affectionately called "Teddy Microphone" around the studio.

As the argument continued, Lange became enraged and physically lashed out at Teddy, but the physical confrontation was apparently defused by other members in the studio.

When Lange returned, he said Teddy would be "dead" had he reached him and he would be in jail.

Stern then expressed his feelings on the situation, saying he cannot condone Lange's actions. The comedian, who has had a similar outburst on the air in the past, said he cannot guarantee he can refrain from acting out in the future. Upon hearing that, Stern said he cannot have Lange around with the potential of such actions looming.

Artie then offered his resignation; Stern accepted, but told Lange to leave and cool off. Just before Lange left he told Stern: "I'm not a good person ... I gotta leave ... I love you"

Teddy returned to the studio several minutes later and said there was overreacting from everyone, but did not downplay the seriousness of the situation.

Show producer Gary Dell'Abate came in to analyze the situation, but he and Stern admitted they "did not know what to make of it all."

Stern does not host a live show on Fridays and the crew is on vacation next week.

Yeah, wtf no reply. Lame.

damn. hope he chills out.

*replay

this probably means all subsequent replays will be edited which is FUCKED.

Maybe not. They didn't do it with Artie v. Sal, although that was admitted much more deserved / funnier.

sucks :(

"Artie Lange's personal assistant" would make a great episode of Dirty Jobs.

I'm sure a torrent will be up soon.

Oddly enough, they're playing the Monday show on which the gang is discussing a clip of Naomi Campbell's battered assistant on the Tyra Banks show. Artie jokes that he has to get ready for when Teddy shows up on Tyra's show.

The message crazy alice left was LOL

today was v v boring

i give artie 8 weeks until another outburst

i'd let artie throw a bottle at me if it kept him on the show another 8 weeks. saw some people discussing this and trying to come up with replacements - fitzsimmons? nick dipaolo? no fucking way.

"The show is the only thing that's really keeping me a live," he joked.

That's not really a joke though, is it?

the fight

howard's reaction to watching this was funny: "i look like olive oil with a 5 o'clock shadow"

Lange then mentions that the review in his home town paper, The Star Ledger, said that he "had all the charm of a date rapist," to which MacDonald replied (in a sincere attempt to cheer him up) "that's a lot better than saying you look like a regular rapist!"

Un fucking merciful.

This is the only good thing Buck has ever been involved in in his terrible TV career. He should be kissing Lange's ass. In fact, I wouldnt be surprised if this was staged.
