Artie Lange Quits Howard Stern
Speaking of walk-outs (and we were):
Artie Lange walks off the Howard Stern ShowHoward 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 Microphone”] to come into the studio and discuss the situation on the air. …
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 apparently dressed him down (good for you, Howard), and ultimately, Lange “offered his resignation,” which Stern accepted.
Just before Lange left he told Stern: “I’m not a good person … I gotta leave … I love you”

In case you weren’t convinced that Artie Lange is a hopelessly terminal jerk…
This is shaping up to be a good day. Now if only Michael Savage Weiner would leave the airwaves and never return, it would be a great day.
