Joe asked Artie to go for it, but it went a bit south and got personal.

[@JoshuaMyhre]

Artie wins! No matter the result or aftermath, his goal was to invoke a reaction(s) exactly like the ones shared in these comments. From the listener/viewer to the announcer/host, his goal has always been to leave you uncomfortable and wondering what the hell. The premise of his amateur and professional comedic career was to provide you with a sense of unsettling awkwardness via his confrontational uncomfortableness schtick, no matter what. The genius behind Artie Lange, the comic & comedian, is the schtick that is “Artie” cannot ever succeed any more than he needs to, even when he’s killing it with his traditional humor. In the video, at first, Artie is killing it and in the humor zone with his comebacks & cracks. Your ordinary Seinfeld-type comedian wishes for this. They will auto-pilot this wave just short of rocking any boat, leaving everyone warm & fuzzy while receiving the proverbial pat on the back until the following interview. You can see precisely the point where Artie is faced with a choice. Having this interview end on a great note with a large side of the warm & fuzzies or take control and turn it into a disaster that makes Norm MacDonald laugh his ass off. I wouldn’t put it past Artie Lange that since leaving Howard Stern, everything that’s been exposed, written, told, and shown about him, from how he left The Stern Show, the mugshots, his face to the gambling with extreme alcohol & drug was all faked like some Andy Koffmanesk long-con prank set in motion only to impress Norm McDonald. At the same time, he lives the rest of his life out, lurking in the shadows of some rented mansion secluded in rural South France with Elvis & Jim Morrison. 🎉
