It's better radio for Howard to pretend to need a recap on everything and then they spend 15 minutes recapping it and shooting the poo poo than for him to go "Oh yeah" and then the audience who has no clue about whatever event/person they're talking about is left in the dark AND they have to kill 15 minutes with other content.

When they display a person on TV news or sports, they often put their name and what they do in text below the picture.

It maybe Howard's way of framing who he is talking about.

I just want to warn you ladies out there that as soon as my husband started wearing Mambo he left me. The 5'5" Mambo Man ditched his mock turtle necks and went straight to skull t-shirts after spraying this poison all over him. Be warned!!!

Stern, who was extremely supportive of Lange both on and off air, is hesitant to allow Lange on. Stern says it's because he wants to protect Lange and do the right thing.

"He said to me recently that he would be willing to come on the air and explain what happened and stuff," Stern told the magazine. "I don't even feel strong enough within myself or that I'd be doing the right thing by him, because I don't want to do the wrong thing for Artie. I just want Artie to stay alive."

How is letting Artie come on the show doing wrong by him? Artie wants to come on and explain things apparently. I'm a little confused by the comment myself.

Unless they are going to make it "off limits" for jokes and stuff it may not be a good thing for him. The guy did stab himself in the stomach 9 times, that's a goldmine for ridicule. I can hear sal already.

Artie's also a huge baby who's totally unable to take the same medicine he dishes out.

I just got done listening to his epic "I gently caress!!! I DO THE loving!!!" style rant on Sal & Richard from Nov 5-6, 2007 where in his butt became quite hurt because Sal made a single joke about Artie's dad falling off a ladder, which happened after 3 weeks of Artie doing the Emotional Friend jokes about Sal's failing marriage.

Artie's justification (I'm a better and more important person in Showbizness than you) was fantastic.

This. It won't take much for people to bring up the enabling if Artie comes back. Plus Howard would have to explain the years of overlooking the addiction combined with multiple guest stars referring to it. There's no way to spin that outside of Howard using Artie's addiction as comedy, and that comes off as callous and cruel. Howard is only speaking out about it because it still haunts the show and his lack of explanation at the beginning of 2010 caused more rumors to circulate.

Does Howard actively try to ignore him? I mean, I'm not all up on Family Guy, but still.

He also claims to have never watched the Simpsons or Seinfeld. Seinfeld? Really? You had him on a couple times and your dad is a Seinfeld nut, and you haven't caught any of the reruns at least?

I clearly remember Howard saying years ago that he loved the episode when Kramer works at an office but doesn't really have a job. He just showed up and blended in. He spcifically pointed out the scene where his briefcase is full of crackers.

It's not that they would have to make it off limits, this isn't like shoving veggies up your rear end or even getting molested by your father as a child, this is something tangible and could easily set him off again. You can rail on anyone because you know they can take it, but you can't know Artie can take it.

Even if you do make the jokes, it couldn't be as funny because it would hang out like a black cloud. You can make a joke about a dead baby, but you can't make it to a mother with a dead baby. It just isn't the same and becomes sad or cruel, not funny.

It would be really hard to work Artie back into the show, more so because he was the unrelenting rear end in a top hat, he was the gruff dog that Howard would unmuzzle and let him maul anyone he wanted. Now Artie has a GIANT weakspot (literally he doesn't have the stomach for it now, lol) and couldn't fight on even ground with anyone.

First time he rags on Eric the Midget, or throws money at a whore and degrades her, they can just slam this back in his face and bring it to a dark place.

I love Artie, I want him on the show so bad, but I don't think he can come back.

He is right to a degree. You know, if Don Rickels is doing his thing and making fun of you, and you just call him a worthless old shithead who should be dead, you kind of can't counter that. Making fun of Artie about his dad is sorta like doing that.

Granted that is very childish and Artie really can't handle too many personal attacks (even before his own personal attack on his guts) but he doesn't need to really from the peanut gallery. Sal and Richard, as lovable as they are, are the peanut gallery.

Much like with everything else in life, the Euros seem to have more sense on how to do things in a fun atmosphere without sucking the soul out of the event.
He watched Seinfeld all the time. Remember the Gange porno mishap from when he was working for Howard and was supposed to send Seinfeld tapes to Alison's sick friend?

I think it is as others have claimed, simply a way to clue the audience in and eat up some time. I don't think he watches a lot of cartoons or anything but he's not as ignorant as he makes himself out to be.

What did the tapes have to do with him watching Seinfeld? I've heard that incident rehashed and replayed (wasn't a Stern fan back when it actually happened) and I never got the vibe that they were his personal tapes that he recorded off of TV or something. It actually sounded like he pulled some network strings somewhere and was able to obtain a bunch of tapes from them.

I'm not saying you're wrong but he definitely seems like a person who knows very little about Seinfeld, although obviously he has seen it before. He just didn't seem like a big fan or a big watcher of it.

As far as I remember, I think it's specifically the Simpsons that he claims to have never watched a single episode of, which yeah, is probably BS too.

Yeah, but the thing is - if you said that to Rickels, he'd then bust your balls with how lame what you just said was for the next 45 minutes, extending your abuse by 300% and generally being hilarious.

Artie, because he was/is an insecure giant sad clown instead of someone with some emotional stability, decided to milk every last drop of feeling sorry for himself instead and did a 15 minute douchechill monologue on the reasons he's a more important human being than Richard and Sal (Main point: he has more money) -- Basically, in most cases I do agree with that sentiment, but in this one it was pure doucheness because nothing Sal said was any more hurtful than any of the various abuses Artie has dealt out to any of the human beings they have on the show less fortunate than Artie and with real afflictions (Siobhan's sexual identity, Eric the ack ack SHITCOCK's general life situation, etc etc.) in which case no joke is too low (and I wholeheartedly enjoy every low joke they do as long as it's funny) - and then Artie gets all unreasonably bent out of shape because he's had a bad day and his heroin dealer was indifferent to his massive celebrity, or something. The joke he took offense to had happened like 3 weeks prior in an actually funny song (Sal's one comedic talent) - and he decided to just let it build up, and then when he had enough self pity stored up he decided to take it out on someone vaguely responsible, Richard & Sal. He was pretty goddamn harsh on Richard for absolutely no reason other than Richard's proximity to Sal when the joke in question was made.

(Artie had taken the day off prior to this blow up in order to have withdrawals or chase the dragon or whatever the gently caress his reasons for skipping work actually were back then when he gave his fantastic "Hey Gar" performances.)

So looking back at Artie the Junkie I don't really feel a lot of sympathy for his plight of "A parent died while I was an adult, 18 years ago, and then a bunch of influential people in my chosen field agreed with my assessment of my talent and gave me a ton of money".

There's no way he could possibly do his job as Howard's attack dog now, he could barely handle mild ribbing then.

This is the shows from November 5 through 7, 2007.

Artie should not come back on the show until he is ready to take his seat again. At that point he will be able to tell the story and make it funny.

Billy West was on the show for like five years and Howard never saw Ren and Stimpy. Or how many times has Howard promised to go see someone's act, like Colin Quinn's one man show, and NEVER followed through?

I don't know why this is hard to believe for anyone who listens to the show. Howard would rather tivo The Bachelor and play chess than watch popular sitcoms.

I am no Lisa G fan, but Greg sounded like an rear end in a top hat too. What neither of them do is very important and if anything, Howard TV has been a huge detriment to the show so I can't get behind them bothering the guests either. But the fact she was crying, ugh. Get a backbone lady. She is such a weirdo.

Seriously though: how many people actually subscribe to Howard TV? A lot less than those who listen to the radio show. Lisa should ask the questions and Greg can tape her as she interviews them. Problem solved.
