Artie Lange Quits Howard Stern - Hear Audio

Light a candle…Howard Stern sidekick Artie Lange quit.

Stern’s Sirius Satellite show lost a member of the team yesterday. Lange and his assistant, Teddy, got into a fight that boiled over onto the show. As Teddy and Artie were arguing in the hallways outside the studio it was apparent that Lange was at the edge. The fight centered around a passport issue. The assistant, doing his job, asked him for his passport for their now cancelled trip to Amsterdam.

The show started and Howard had heard about the fight in the hall. When he asked Artie what was up with him and Teddy, he flipped out on air.

“He’s a loser,” yelled Lange. “He’s the most unorganized assistant. I want to fire him, but he has no money. I hope he dies of AIDS.”

Enter Teddy. He came into the show to defend himself only to have Artie attack him.

Realizing he was acting like a total door knob, he tried to blame Howard for encouraging the fight. After a small break the two tried to talk things out. Unfortunately, Artie felt unable to cope he told him that he loved him and subsequently quit.

Oh the drama! If it were me, I would blame it bad Chinese food and come crawling back with my tail between my legs and a gift of some kind. Like….a really nice pen or an offering of a couple of virgins.
