Stern Sidekick in Suicide Try

Troubled comic Artie Lange landed in the hospital after stabbing himself nine times in an apparent suicide attempt, sources told The Post. Lange's frantic mom called 911 Saturday morning after she entered his Hoboken apartment and found the bloodied funnyman, a law-enforcement source said. Lange sustained six "hesitation wounds" and three deep plunges.

I hope he is able to get the help he needs.

1. We love you Artie!

Get well buddy. We all knew we have been in pain for many years and have been dulling that pain with drugs and alcohol. The show will not be the same without you. You helped the show tremendously after Jackie quit.

2. Willingly being in the same room with Stern for that many years

would probably be a diagnosis by itself.....

I hope he gets all the help he needs...

8. You guys must not be listeners

He has changed quite a bit over the years. He is a champion for gay rights and was a supporter of both Kerry and Obama.

9. Well shucky wuckies. That totally absolves him of guilt for treating women like walking fucktoys.

For over 20 years. Howard hasn't changed his woman-hating schtick one iota.

16. Except that he's a total asswipe?

How anyone would want to waste a second of their life listening to that schmuck is beyond me.

3. A lot of people saw this coming unfortunately. Artie had really bad drug addictions.

And he was depressed. That is very sad news though.

6. Is Stern going to make fun of him like he does others in those situations?

Or maybe not since it's someone close to him.

10. He should point himself out as the enabler for Artie. Again, this really isn't a surprise

to anyone who's listened to the show over the past few years. Artie's drug use and depression are his show persona's primary qualities and are the reason and punchline for many, many jokes on the show. He's probably afraid if he doesn't straighten himself out he'll get fired for not providing any more good material.

13. The comedy community needs its own mental health bill.

Be well, Artie.

15. I wish Artie the best

Although the show lost something when Jackie and especially Billy West left. That era had the funniest radio ever.
