Artie Lange to Howard: I Know How to Quit You?

Artie Lange stormed off the "Howard Stern Show" today, causing pangs of anxiety throughout Howard's loyal legions of fans that the bloated comic indeed put a fork in himself and would not be coming back.
Arite quits Stern?

The drama started when Artie and his assistant, Teddy, were heard fighting in the hallway. Howard later brought it up on air, causing Artie to lose his damn mind and at one point lunge at the assistant.

Sources close to the show tell TMZ that both the fight and the situation are definitely real. As for Artie never coming back -- we're not so sure.

19. Artie is in a lot of trouble without the support that he has from the crew at the stern show. I hope other people are as worried about him as I am.

24. He'll be back, the only reason he gets so much for standup is because he's on the Howard Stern show. No one would know about his shows if he didn't have 4 hours a day to promote them.

25. Harvey called into Sterns show a few weeks ago to appoligize because Stern didn't want to acknowledge one of the ex-con photogs harrassing him. I guess Harvey doesn't want Stern talking about him and his gay lover everyday on his show.

26. I never thought he was funny and being known for being on the Howard Stern show is really all he has. Sounds like a troubled man that might be going over the edge.

27. Lots of bloated, substance addicted comedians who can take his place...Eddie Brill ... Jimmy Shubert ... just two good examples.

28. Artie to stern is like a condom to John Holmes, it doesn't quite fit but it is there if you need it. This guy should be in everybodys
ghoul pool list because he is definitely on borrowed time. We could win the war in Iraq if he went and entertained the taliban
and insurgents. They would probably disband and run for the hills if he had an encore. The only thing I think I would watch
him in is if he did a sitcom similar to three's company except the stars would be artie, Roseanne, and Rosie O'donnell. I can
only hope.

29. This is just another genius move by howard to keep the fans on the edge of their seat while they are off for yet another "break". its amazing how many breaks are needed by people who work 5 hours days, 4 days a week. so tough. waaaaaaaaa!

30. I think Artie needs to go back and work on the docks for a few months so that he remembers where he came from and what it's like to work a "real job". he has a false sense of success. he's almost like eric the midget because he doesn't realize that most of his success is derived from his popularity on the howard stern show. and if he does realize it, he better start thinkin' about it. No income, No beach house. waaaa
