Artie Lange
On August 6, 2008 , Howard Stern’s funny man sidekick, Artie Lange, checked himself into an intensive outpatient rehab program, after missing the Comedy Central Roast of Bob Saget. On the August 11th airing of the show Artie admitted to having been back on heroin for the past 7 weeks. He has started therapy on a daily basis to combat his recent relapse with a therapist recommended to him by a chance phone call from Richard Lewis, who he says inspired him to try stand-up comedy.
