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. "

Damn!

I liked Artie since I saw him on Mad tv and I hope he comes back or at least says wtf is going on since for me he was like the main funny part of the show.

I have to agree here. I never knew what the big appeal of Howard Stern was.

Well, he's essentially a male Madonna--used to be a shock value deity, but now he's essentially coasting on his past notoriety.

"Robin, I invented coasting on past notoriety" (come on, somebody on these boards was thinking the same thing)

I don't listen toradio shows really but between Howard vs O&A Stern wins hands down. O&A sucks the big one. They should Have Gilbert Godfrey on instead that's the only time I listen.

O&A seems annoying to me.
The fanboys of them are more annoying, they like follow those two dudes from the anus forward.

BUT STERN SAID THIS11111111

Honestly who gives a fuck, danzig got knocked out and beat one of the dudes that flipped him off in concert, is that my business? no, I just like the music. Its not like these people give a shit about the individual fans. If I were them I wouldn't care either.

Crissaegrim get his money or stuff back ?????

I haven't gotten any money, item, or contact of any kind. I've given up on getting anything. No one will ban him and he just keeps hanging around posting like nothing is wrong. I guess I can just keep posting after he does to let people know not to ever deal with him.

And to get back on topic, what are the odds this is a ratings stunt. Hopefully Artie is OK. I always get scared when the show goes to Vegas.

It probably is a ratings stunt.. Hoo Hoo's ratings have been dropping like a rock since last year (the fanboys will say nay, but it's the goddamn truth in the latest arbitron's). Hoo Hoo's been struggling to find relevance and this may be yet another ploy for people to gravitate to. Hopefully, he's ok. Artie was the only funny component of that show for years.

I agree with that one. Ratings or not, Howard is still winning with higher numbers then O&A.

As they're on XM and not in the arbitrons, please explain... wait.. no you can't, cause you're an idiot.

right, if you say so. Arguing on the net is stupid. Your a fanboy of O&A and I enjoy listening to Howard. Simple as that. Regardless of anything, Howard's show is much more enjoyable to watch unlike listening to O&A. But then again it's my choice.
