I’m a truck driver and I bought a lifetime membership to Sirius before Stern ever started on Sirius just so I could continue to The Stern Show and I listened to Stern every day for 20 yrs until he started kissing the ass of all the people he used to verbally destroy for all them yrs and I couldn’t listen to him anymore and dropped the Stern show like a hot rock and I don’t even have a Sirius radio anymore.

Tex Truman I think the show carried itself up until they left KROCK. Howard actually cared back then...he had to, terrestrial was a different ball game, a lot was at stake and ratings were the be all end all. Once they hit SIRIUS though, it was 100% Artie. He was the SIRIUS years. When he left, the show died.

[@jeremy28135]

Artie also filled a void in that studio that was desperately needed- the blue collar, guys guy, grounded human being. Something that Howard, Robin, and Fred were not. Howard is too narcissistic to ever see or admit that Artie was good for him in so many ways. Artie was relatable to his core blue collar audience, he kept Howard in touch with the real world and actual normal human behavior that wasn’t limos and mansions, and also Arties presence seemed to curb Howard’s gay tendencies and made him reluctant to froth over guys genitals and his trans fascination -all of which started running rampant once his left

[@noahsmith9025]

Dude, your so right. Like the show would was huge regardless but Arties Era took it to a whole new level.

I like that Artie and Robin are still friends. It feels like so many on the Stern crew just completely cold-shouldered Artie, so it's really awesome that Robin never turned her back on him.

@@georgeburns8447 Hey, I’ll have to disagree with you. Artie was the one guy on the show that was real and he brought it to the table. That’s what made him an asset and why Howard hung onto him. He lost control one to many times and ultimately was released from the show. Jackie was funny for his brand of humor but money was more important to him and Howard called his buff. Stuttering John, Jackie and Artie all made bad decisions and probably regret it to this day. I guess we can agree to disagree. Give my regards to Gracie😸

[@dizzy_derps]

@@georgeburns8447 I've been a listener for 30+ years. I liked Artie on the show...at first. I guess when his addictions got the better of him he turned into such a mean, hateful person. But when Billy West was in studio that was the best era, to me.

[@jasondownsnet]

Last year I was lucky enough to open for Artie at Cobbs comedy club in SF. I've opened for pretty much everybody, from Chappelle, to CK and Bill Burr. I've never seen a crowd as enthusiastic and crazy as Artie's crowd. I felt like I was performing at a Raiders game; shit was insane. You couldn't plan to kill, you just hope to manage chaos.

[@BaahBen]

Actually the show started it's downturn when he first went to Sirius and they were on 5 days a week LIVE. Then it was cut down to 4 days a week and there was a huge lawsuit for Howard's tapes of all his older shows. Nobody realized why he settled for just the tapes and no money. Well, Boy Gary had plans for these tapes that fucked all you followers who never put two and two together. They went to 3 days a week live and you paid for 5 days! All you got was the stuff we all listened to for 15 years for free! That's when I left.Howard could not continue with his politically correct liberal rich friends out at the Hamptons and trash all of them as he did for years and years. Remember how he lamented that these people hated him? What a joke. No Artie, he is not the best ever anymore. He's become a POS like all his friends.

Started listening to Stern in late '93. It took about a week before I got it and I've been a fan ever since. The show was really rockin' and then Jackie fucked up his life by leaving, but the show continued on without him. And then Artie showed up. The Artie years were my favourite years. There were so many times when Artie would say something and Howard would laugh so hard and so deeply. It wasn't a laugh that I had heard before when Jackie was on the show. Artie had a unique sense of humor, great stories and an infectious laugh. I really miss those days. Yes, Howard and the show have really changed. I find it almost hard to listen to anymore, except for the musical acts and the interviews. He is a fantastic interviewer. He always somehow manages to take someone that I didn't give a shit about and make them supper interesting. An example is the first Lady Gaga interview. What I knew of her was her penchant for outlandish dress.....crazy outfits and such. I thought she was an untalented empty vessel, like many of the so called musical talents of the day. But she truly blew me away with her talent. Her voice and her abilities behind the piano are amazing. I thank him for that. But again, the Artie Lange years are still my fav.

Not even close. First, the 90s were the peak of the Stern years. And second, Artie had no comic timing whatsoever. He constantly dragged out "jokes" way beyond their best used by date, and Howard had to often abruptly cut him off. And FYI, today's Howard can go F himself.

You guys did this to yourselves. You couldn't let well enough alone. The real difference between left wing assholes and right wing assholes is that right wing assholes take themselves too seriously and think someone like them should be at the top. I'm a left wing asshole. I'm not politically correct, but I also don't see myself as a role model and would never vote for myself if I ran for president because I want the world to be a better place than I would make it. You thought Howard was one of you, just being mean spirited for the sake of it, but it turns out he's a left wing asshole. When you elected Trump, you upset the balance and forced people to choose a side. I'm not a big PC guy in my personal life, but if you force me to choose what kind of world I want to live in, I'm going to pick a more progressive world every time.

I recall listening to one of last (possibly THE LAST) moments of Artie on Stern. Stern was ripping into him HARD about his vices in a really disrespectful way even for Howard... *and Artie said something along the lines of "at least I don't have to pretend I don't wear a wig every day."* There was a lonnnnngggg awkward silence, which immediately made apparent Artie just said the worst possible thing on-air he could've (in retrospect, I could imagine Stern muting the mics and screaming his ass off for 5 seconds). And right after that Howard angrily demanded him to leave the studio. Still to this day, I can't find an audio of this clip anywhere... which makes me wonder if it was intentionally scrubbed from the internet. From that day I was done listening to Stern, and I'll always respect Artie.

[@smudgeeee6259]

[@Ctworld15]

[@Lt.852]

The story Artie tells of Robin, Howard and himself in the hospital room is truly heartbreaking in every possible way. 😔 My feeling is Howard genuinely loved and cared for Artie, even likely felt bad that he just didn't know how to deal with Artie's addiction and maybe was even an enabler just by the nature of the situation. Truth is nobody knows how to deal with someone you care deeply for being an addict. You try to help over and over and over and it falls on deaf ears. You want so desperately to help but one day you finally realize you can't, it's out of your hands. It tears everybody involved apart. Heroin wins 99.9% of the time. I also think that experience with Artie played a part in Howard basically doing a 180* as far as his style on air. A kinder gentler approach. I think he felt somewhat responsible (not that he was!) and a little guilty as it just naturally became part of the show. No one here is to blame. The fork in the road finally came and Howard had to walk away... IMO because he did love Artie so much. Artie's a big boy. He made his choices. I wish Artie the strength to one day rise up from the ashes and shine, again.

[@bronco4life]

True that Linda, i think Howard truly care for Artie, but when he left, he felt that he fail with him,, and people around Howard bad mouthing Artie made more difficult for Howard, to want to have anything to do with Artie again, after 2 years of not seeing him,, just saying,,.

[@OwMeEd]

@spankynater4242 He's a comedic legend TO ME. These types of things are subjective. If I think he's funnier than Richard Pryor (which I don't by the way) then that's MY opinion. People have various tastes when it comes to food, music, comedy, etc. Why would you try to correct someone's opinion? Arguing who's the funniest comic is like arguing who's the best rapper or what's the best food.
