Artie Lange Checks Into Rehab, Cancels Bob Levy and Foxwoods Appearances

artie lange
First came news that Artie Lange missed the Bob Saget Roast this past Sunday in LA, and has now canceled the Friday show at Rev. Bob Levy’s Comedy Club in PA, along with the show the following day (this weekend) at the Foxwoods Casino. Now, it has been reported that Artie has checked into rehab [per Page Six]:

Howard Stern’s sidekick is finally in rehab. Artie Lange, who’s long overindulged with drugs and drink, was scheduled to attend close pal Bob Saget’s Comedy Central roast on Sunday night, but never made it to LA. Instead, he checked himself into an intensive outpatient rehab program. A source said Lange “felt awful for not being there for Bob, but needed to make his health a priority.” Lange also canceled his stand-up shows this weekend, but plans to return to his regular gig on Stern’s Sirius radio show when it returns from hiatus (next Monday 8/11/08). Lange’s rep, Lewis Kay, confirmed the news.

Get well Artie! We love you.

    What took so long? Guess Howard will come back from vacation saying he knew nothing about Art’s condition. Who is the one needing rehab…Artie or Howard? Seems like Howard is the one that can’t get rid of drug addicts.

    I found a video on youtube by searching “artie lange rehab” it says something about an overdose and implies a possible suicide attempt.

    This is a link to it.
