Howard Stern's Sidekick Artie Lange Hospitalized

By PopEater Staff Posted Jan 3rd 2010 09:21AM

Artie Lange, Howard Stern's troubled sidekick, is in a New Jersey hospital for an unknown issue, TMZ reports.

"I can confirm that Artie is in the hospital. Artie has chosen to keep all information on this matter between him and his doctor. There will be no further comment," a statement from his rep said.

The 42-year-old comedian, who has struggled with drug abuse in the past, hasn't appeared on Stern's radio show since December and has canceled several of his upcoming stand-up dates.

Lange was also busted in 2009 for a DUI.

pnut, of course he's high - he said he is a daily listener of Howard Stern. You need to be on something pretty strong to numb your senses enough to cope with Stern on a regular basis. Unless you are just naturally brain dead, of course.

I've tried to listen to Howard Stern on my satellite radio. I can't make it more than 5 minutes. It's the dumbest stuff I've ever heard.
