This is unreal, the amount of covereage this is getting is beyond me. After listening and watching the show... what the hell was Joe Buck Live supposed to be? You can call Lange an asshole for the way he acted all you want but, that show on HBO was HORRIBLE. They sounded less cohesive then Tyler and I on SiriusBuzz Radio.
HBO is removing all traces of this show from youtube, which I find weird because the overtime segment was made available online. Wasnt it?
Joe Buck Live sounded like public acccess TV to me. How can you go live without a clue?
artie lange was the number 8 most searched topic today on yahoo when i looked, minutes later it fell off and was replaced by elvis costello which is also one of sirius xm's news pieces today
please post a link to the after show video, there was 10 minutes that apparently got even raunchier.
No links to the show, I posted them on twitter today but they were removed a few hours later.Quote:

part of the show was on the first link on the first post above
Artie acted like an ass. He jumped the shark a while back. Artie is at his best telling stories, not beltching out ****, cock, pussy and attacking people.
What is most funny is this is exactly what Artie criticized Sal for - basing his act on thoughtless raunch instead of interesting humor. Artie could have killed just telling stories.
The reason Howard didn't say his"performance" on the show sucked is that it would likely have sent Artie into a "dark place". So now Howard is selling out "honesty" to protect Artie.
I agree but, I think its because he was wrapped up in the awkwardness of the lack of flow in the show. He is typically much better on the stern show which is unfortunate because now people who arent subscribers are going to see this version of him and think that he is like that everyday.
after listening to the replay of it on the stern show, it wasn't that bad, actually it was funny, what made it so awkward was the rest of the show was so terrible that artie really stood out, just listening to the audio you can hear the crowd cheering and not see the awkward 3 other guys on stage...
the audio of it was better.
Good point. And as discussed today on the show, "Howard Stern" gets dragged into it. The fat SOB has done us a disservice!!!!Quote:

i like artie
A mother drowning her kids is headlines as well. That's what Artie doesn't seem to get - negative attention is shitty attention, and truthfully, it effects the whole "Howard Brand". He could have done so much more just being the "loveable" Artie.Quote:

I like Artie too, but he's not always on. In fact, he has been irritating lately - talking over Howard, being relentless on some guests (Lou during Playboy judging.... ) that turns me off. He thinks it's funny, and Howard won't rein him in Sternly.
It seems to me (just one man opinion) that he is really pissed off because he feels like he was wronged by the powers that be. Its like they told him to be crazy and then once he got crazy they trashed him and now they are benefiting from the free press by further bashing him and how he acted. Something tells me that this has become personal with him and he feels as though he has been played a fool. Be crazy... ohhh... we didnt think you were going to be THAT crazy. It's either that, or they planned to railroad him from the get go.Quote:

I agree that he thinks that he did better then he actually did. I have watched every appearance he has made on late night TV and he is usually pretty damn good.
I still keep coming back to... what the hell was that show supposed to be? I think Artie was rattled by the shittiness of what he was wrapped up in. That was the first show ever right? Why the hell would you ask Artie Lange to be on your opening night unless you wanted something crazy/controversial to happen?
The whole thing reeks of weirdness.
it was weird, and thats why i really felt that the weirdest part of the show was...the rest of the show, aside from artie.
he is a selfish bastard and childish vulgar imbecile (can't think of better words) and while he was sitting there im sure he was just getting more and more pissed and figured he would take it to the "final nail" and at least make headlines...
with all the millions of potential subscribers and possibly millions of "old" stern terra listeners that didn't make the jump to satellite, this may have been the spark that got them off the sidelines after several years of missing howards show...especially with the demise of terra radio, artie made a great point...his point was "I am bored to death, on satellite radio we don't get bored"
