Early life

Lange was born and raised in New Jersey. His mother was a homemaker, and his father was a contractor. Two weeks after he was born, his father went on trial for counterfeiting money, but was spared jail time out of the court's sympathy for his young son. His family identified themselves as Italian-Americans, despite having German and Native American ancestry on his father's side. Lange has said that his father's background "has always been a gray area." During a segment of The Howard Stern Show, Lange provided a blood sample which was taken to a laboratory for genetics testing. Howard Stern announced that the results indicated that Lange was approximately 25 percent American Indian. Stern noted that Lange turned beet red after the revelation was made. Lange remarked that he had to re-evaluate his position when watching Western films, and that he was feeling more sympathetic toward the American Indian. This article is about the U.S. state. ...

During high school Lange excelled in baseball, becoming an All County third baseman, and spent his free time working with his father. Some time after Lange finished high school in 1985, his father fell off a roof and broke his neck, becoming quadriplegic. He would eventually die from complications from the fall, although Lange has speculated that his father may have committed suicide (perhaps with the assistance of a third party).

After finishing school, Lange was arrested for attempted bank robbery. He claimed he was only trying to impress a bank teller by passing her a fake holdup note that said he was armed and demanded $50,000. Unfortunately, the note included his name, and the teller took it seriously, triggering the silent alarm. As part of an agreement, his lawyer arranged for Lange to avoid jail time, along with two years of probation and 25 hours of community service.

Based on his work at the Connecticut School of Broadcasting, Lange was offered a radio job in Wyoming.^[1] Instead of taking the job, he stayed in New Jersey and took up work as a longshoreman to help support his family; it was around this time that he first started doing stand-up comedy. He eventually quit his job to focus full time on his comedy career. In 1995 he landed a role in the original cast of FOX's sketch comedy show MADtv.

MADtv

Artie Lange in MADtv's My White Momma.

Lange was one of the original nine castmembers of MADtv when the series debuted in 1995. Unlike some of his fellow castmembers on MADtv, Lange came to the show with limited sketch comedy experience, his background being in stand-up. It was around this time that he became heavily involved with drugs, particularly cocaine. He has stated that his lowest point of cocaine use occurred during a shooting of the MADtv sketch "Babewatch", in which he played a pig lifeguard. Because the sketch involved him going through hours of make up to transform him into a pig, he snorted cocaine in his car in full pig make up during a break in the shooting of the sketch. Upon returning from the shoot, he passed out in his hotel room, and awoke to find he had defecated in his own bed. The cast and fanbase of The Howard Stern Show now refer to this incident as "The Pig Story". His tenure with MADtv came to a dramatic end when, during a cocaine binge, the police were called to the studio. Lange fled, running through a number of backyards and stores before being arrested. He was charged with cocaine possession, assaulting an officer, and possessing an open alcoholic container in his car, among other charges. Upon Lange's arrest, Quincy Jones, an executive producer for MADtv, intervened to arrange for him to continue on the show for a second season. Lange's sobriety did not last, however, and he was fired after two seasons. Image File history File links Artie_white_mama. ... Image File history File links Artie_white_mama. ...

The Howard Stern Show

After Lange served a short jail term and successfully completed a drug rehabilitation program, comedian Norm MacDonald offered him a part in the 1998 movie Dirty Work. While promoting the movie, McDonald brought Lange to The Howard Stern Show.

Since Lange joined the show, Stern has often teased him for his eating habits, his role in the poorly-received movie Dirty Work and his lack of professionalism. Stern also makes a point to praise Lange's comedic talents. Stern and his staff have commented that Lange's life is a sort of perpetual adolescence; his mother delivers food parcels and cleans his apartment, he continually gorges himself on pizza and other fattening foods, and his frequent drunken binges are legendary among Stern fans. Overeating is a behavior that, while generally not a medical problem, in some cases is a symptom of binge eating disorder or bulimia. ... “Adolescent” redirects here. ...

In early June 2005, Lange began missing work at the Howard Stern Show, prompting concerns of a possible relapse of past substance abuse. The situation climaxed in Lange behaving incoherently and belligerently on-the-air. He infamously sneered at Howard and crew that: "Artie's gotta do what Artie's gotta do!" Stern later commented that this statement had scared him. Lange missed the entire week of work. 2005 : January - February - March - April - May - June - July - August - September - October - November - December- → Deaths in June June 27: Shelby Foote June 27: John T.

At the time, Lange's absence from the show went largely unmentioned and was written off as stress from doing the radio show and beginning production of his movie Beer League. The real reason for Lange's absence was revealed in a spontaneous revelation on the September 21, 2006 episode, on which Lange acknowledged that he was regularly snorting heroin from February to June 2005. Lange discussed past episodes of heroin use, beginning when he was a stand-up comedian and continuing until Beer League was set to begin shooting. Lange detailed his painful withdrawal, which included common side effects such as cold sweats, shaking and vomiting. Lange recalled disconnecting the telephone to avoid speaking to his mother, who ultimately intervened to help him recover. Lange was threatened with legal action by the Beer League producers (whom he later described as having "waste management connections") if he failed to show up for the first day of shooting in June 2005, which led Lange to secure a home visit from a doctor who prescribed Lange with buprenorphine (Subutex) to alleviate his heroin dependency. Since starting the medicine, Lange has claimed to be free of any illegal substances, though he has gained almost 100 lb (45 kg) since quitting heroin.

On May 24, 2007 it was revealed during The Howard Stern Show that Lange was upset about a segment of the show from the day before. Stern had brought in a girl who was attracted to Lange, mainly because of his size. Lange took the bit seriously and became angry, calling Stern a pelican and stating that he was contemplating leaving the show. Stern fired back, saying Lange was no longer a friend, just someone who works on his show. By the end of the argument, however, they had seemingly patched things up, with Stern giving Lange his blessing for whatever he felt he had to do. Lange stated that he was thinking of leaving the show for six months in order to "dry out." He claimed he was burnt out from his career and felt he was in a "hurricane."

In November of 2007 Artie Lange became involved in a feud with Stern Show member, Sal the Stockbroker. The argument was started after Sal and Richard Christy expressed that they felt that Artie didn't really like them and that he constantly took jabs at their work. After much discussion the feud hit a boiling point when Artie threw various objects at Sal and threatened to "drop him". Howard asked what had happened and Artie replied, "I don't care Howard. If you want to fire me then fire me." Howard soon after demanded a moratorium on the argument. For other uses, see November (disambiguation). ...

Personal life

Lange said on the Howard Stern Show that he lost his virginity on October 3, 1985, about a week before his 18th birthday. Because Lange was young for his grade, he had already graduated high school. The act took place in Lange's 1974 AMC Matador.^[2] Lange frequently discussed his on-again/off-again relationship with longtime girlfriend Dana Sironi after they began dating in early spring 2002. Most of the couple's problems stemmed from Lange's lifestyle. In mid-2006 Lange declared that the couple had officially broken up, for which Lange cited his heroin abuse as the primary reason, and claimed to have warned her that she would be "tortured" if they stayed together. However, Lange announced on an early November 2006 Stern Show that he and Sironi were again together to some extent, but that the situation was a mystery even to him.
