Check this out:
THE CURSE OF THE JACKIE CHAIR
"In what has become a disturbing pattern recently, beloved comedian and original MadTV cast member, Artie Lange, missed work again today. Howard wanted to know if Gary had heard from Artie this morning but Gary hadn't. Artie was supposed to call Howard yesterday but he never did. Howard said Artie has always said that when he loses it he'll just disappear and we'll never hear from him. Howard hopes that his recent silence doesn't mean he has lost it.
Robin reminded everyone that Artie had also promised us all that his job here would end badly. Gary said he heard from Artie's sister the other day and she offered to have Artie's mom call Howard. Howard said that was okay, he'd like to hear from Artie since this isn't elementary school, he doesn't need to talk to Artie's mommy. Gary was shocked that, at the very least, Artie's agent didn't call. Howard joked that Gary probably knows Artie better than his agent does.
Howard said he really thinks Artie is just really stressed out over his movie and other things. He thinks Artie is under a lot pressure but he also wants Artie to get back to work or at least call us and let us know what is going on with him. Howard just doesn't get it, because looking at it logically, Artie has everything he's wanted. He works on a high profile entertainment show that allows him to live in NJ, work very good hours, and allows him the flexibility to work on other projects. Howard said Jackie Martling went through the same thing, only his problem was money, not stress.
Howard said that everyone who sits in that chair seems to go crazy and he wondered if the chair was cursed. He yelled at Benjy to get out of that chair not only because it might be cursed, but because Benjy was distracting Howard by sitting there. Howard said he keeps thinking Artie is there when he sees Benjy's head and then he starts putting up all the wrong microphones. Callers wanted to know if Artie didn't show up soon was he going to be fired but Howard said he didn't want to even think about that. Besides, you can't fire someone who's not here. Robin laughed and said its' more like Artie fired us than the other way around. "
