Don't You Forget About Artie, Says Howard Stern

On his morning show yesterday, Howard Stern decided to comment on the recent hospitalization of his pal and co-host Artie Lange.

Though he wouldn’t give any details as to why he was in the hospital, stating he was respecting the families wishes, he had no trouble telling all of us how wonderful Artie is, regardless of his “demons.”

Howard said:

“We all have our demons. Artie has given this show tremendous moments of great comedy. He’s a tremendous contributor. He is a good man. Don’t forget how great he is.”

Along with his vote of confidence in the guy, Howard also diffused rumors that they would be replacing Artie shortly and also announced that he was contemplating putting together great moments of Artie’s to air on the radio show later this week.

That sounds like an on-air memorial to us! Things must be really serious!
