He's not on the show

he’s always been a complete loser that happened to be funny for a short period of time. I hope he gets help before he hurts someone.
How is he still alive???

I don't think he is. I think the last time they had any communication was when Robin was in the hospital for her cancer.
I met him outside Howard's studio one morning  
shockeyisthebest8056 : 12/15/2018 11:14 am : link
and he was the nicest guy. It's a damn shame he got this fucked up. I hope he gets help before he finally kills himself.
He's been on the HBO show 'Crashing'

which he was actually really good in. Seemed like he had been doing a bit better(for Artie Lange) in recent years.

I don't know anything about this but have heard more than a few times over the years that Howard can be a cheap self-centered prick

Many on here know that Artie was one of my childhood friends  
Larry in Pencilvania : 12/15/2018 12:09 pm : link
and that we grew up across the street from each other. Believe it or not he was a great athlete especially baseball. He and I used to spend hours shooting hoops in his backyard and he never gave me a hard time because I sucked. He was just a great guy to be around.

I went a few months ago with my sister and brother in law to see his show at some hotel in NJ. He pretty much bombed except for a few spots. After the show my sister was like do you want to go up and say hi? I was like sure (I haven't seen Artie in like 35+ years). Artie was standing at the bar having a drink and people were starting to crowd him asking him for his autograph. He looked up and says OH MY FUCKING GOD and gives me a huge hug like a long lost brother. The three of us started talking about the old neighborhood, people who passed away, our families, etc. He took a picture with us and asked my sister to text it to him. She promised not to share the number and he said don't worry he got drunk one night and sent out on twitter so everyone has it.

After that every damn Stern fan started pushing in trying to snap a picture and get an autograph while we were chatting. He's still a very nice guy, but it made me extremely sad to see what terrible shape he's in and what pain he's gone through

Possible, but not for that take. Why anyone would have anything but contempt for a guy that basically hit the lottery and has snorted that fortune up his nose for the last ~25 years, despite many chances and many people trying to help him, who cares anymore. I once thought he was a likable guy but honestly, a guy like that you just wait until he finally kills himself, shake your head and say, 'what a shame', then go on about your day. The rest of us are trying to grind to get a fraction of what he pissed away on coke and heroin over the last 3 decades. So yeah, maybe I'm an asshole, but I'm not wrong.

I saw him at a gas station a couple months ago and it was jarring how bad he looked. Honestly one of the most unhealthy human beings I’ve ever seen.

How does he even do cocaine with that nose? I hope the guy finally gets clean and can have a positive life somehow.

j_rud : 12/15/2018 2:54 pm : link
it's a huge commitment. Most people violate and get sent to jail. You're talking intensive outpatient 3x/wk for 3 hrs a session, individual counseling, two meetings with the PO and a court appearance every week. And that's just the weekly appointments, that's not even getting into at least a dozen other stipulations. And that's for 18-24 months. It's essentially one last chance before an extended prison bid. And like I said, there's a significant failure rate.

At that point, compassion doesn't matter, and you guys are a bunch of dupes for caring. Buy his next book, suckers. Maybe you can come tribute to his next score.

Simple question (and I have no idea why I'm engaging this insanity), do you or do you not believe in addiction and mental illness or do you think addicts can/should just "suck it up" and "get their act together"?

70.000 people a year die of overdoses. Do you think because some of them make more money than others they should be exempt or above this plague? Is is Ok if the addict didn't have an opportunity to make millions? Is that somehow better or worse?
Mental illness is tragic  
allstarjim : 12/16/2018 12:52 am : link
Addiction is tough. But after 25 plus years, the people he's had trying to help him, the tremendous resources available to him, then yes, he doesn't want to be sober.

Easiest way to stay off of heroin is to never try heroin. Same with coke.

You know why he's 51 and still a junkie? Because that's what he wants his life to be. What are you sad that Mr. Multi-millionaire that made you laugh a few times is going to kill himself?

Fuck that, I'll save my compassion for the many, many people going through tough times who aren't actively doing it to themselves over and over and over again.

It's not, I just have none for Artie Lange. I have it for a lot of other people and regularly give of my time and money to those that aren't trying to kill themselves.

You can have your opinion, just like you might think I'm a cold-hearted prick, I think you're a fucking moron for giving any sympathy to him. He'll probably finish the job soon. You m ow who I feel compassion for? Anyone that truly cares about him.
