Has anyone seen Artie Lange recently???

Where is he? Is he sober? Just curious because he’s not active on social media and it seems suspicious. Has anyone seen him in Jersey/NY

Wherever he is, i hope he’s sober and happy.

u/heynow941 avatar

Best can realistically expect is just sober. He’ll never be happy.

I’m not sure he can’t be happy and what a lot of people would consider “not sober.” By that I mean he’s maintaining on Subutex, which allows him to interact with a few close friends and allows his mom and sister some peace. He gets “mailbox money” (residuals) enough to keep a small place. That might make him happy.

u/heynow941 avatar

The “what could have been” (professionally, Dana, etc) would haunt me forever.

As for as most people are concerned, being on Subutex is clean.

Not AA, where for some weird reason nicotine addiction is tolerated but opiate maintenance is not.

Artie moved to Paraguay. His name is Arturo now, and he raises sheep and peacocks on a small plantation out in the country. There he's known as Señor Sin Nariz, and is beloved by all.

It has been a while since someone wrote a clever joke on this sub, have an upvote.

The irony. 

Artie sold his shore house for cash

Gets residuals, which provides a livable income (his residuals, I'd bet my kishkas, are more than Sal's salary, and that makes me smile)

Takes care of his mother, who's sick.

Basically retired and focused on his health. Hopefully happy...

Howard... 

Mega wealthy, Miserable, continues to work despite the fact that the show has been awful for 15+yrs, he's ruining his legacy, is locked in his basement with germ phobia...

What does he get residual income from?

u/Immediate_Day_9805 avatar

Mad tv (syndicated all over the world)

Studio movies (none were great, but most bought by comedy central, and run all the time late at night)

Other series he was in 

He also had his uncle, in the beginning  set up a corporation, and a financial planner to handle investments because he knew he'd fuck it up if he had access to all his Money.

At one point Artie was making 70k for a night of stand up. I know ppl think he was "working at a gas station," but, like most wig/horse brained fans, that's just dopey talk

He once mentioned on air, when Jon Favreau called in, that every Christmas season he gets checks from Elf that are the size of an average person's salary. Considering it's broadcast regularly in Europe for Christmas, as well as north America, I'd say that's about right 

He 100% was working at a gas station as a pump attendant, there's video evidence of it. But it had nothing to do with being broke, his probation/parole required him to have a job, and stand-up was out of the question for him since the atmosphere would have been too triggering.

The guy who recorded the video whose gas Artie pumped even tried tipping him $20 because he felt bad and thought Artie was broke. Artie really didn't want to take the money and explained he didn't need it.

The guy who recorded the video? Wack pack lawyer Vincent Imbesi.

u/Immediate_Day_9805 avatar

He worked there as part of a court order, not for money. Jesus

Now i get why Howard decided to abandon his original fans. Very few of us actually like him or the show.

It's all hate and grunting grrrrr

Even back in the bulletin board days, the sfn era... All men trying to be him, and failing miserably

I assume Elf probably nets him pretty good residuals. But honestly, I have no fucking clue how any of that works.

u/1-2-3-4_5-6-7-8-9 avatar

He said that was like 5 figures (which was nice at the time) but that it wasn’t always going to be that much. Even Stern said he only gets like a few dollars a year from Private Parts and he starred in it (Artie was literally only in one scene in Elf)

u/turbografix15 avatar

Stern was lying. Artie was also in Old School, Dirty Work, Mad TV, Crashing, Entourage and other featured actor roles on tv shows I can’t remember off the top of my head. Sure, Beer League didn’t do well at the box office but it’s currently streaming on Amazon and a bunch of other sites, just like everything else I mentioned.

I’m not in the business anymore but I did freelance as a writer for a bit and have a close friend who is. If I had to guess I would think Artie pulls in $75k a year from all of the stuff he did back in the day. It’s taxed of course, so it’s not going to allow him to live lavishly but hopefully he’s doing well and continuing to work on his health. I’ll always be rooting for the baby gorilla.

If Artie called into the show do you think they would take the call or freak out and hang up? 

Edited

Gary would talk to him to get an update, say it is time to have him back on but he had to clear it first. Then he would be the bitch he is and have Marci (sp?) Call him back to say no. In the meantime Gary would be gossiping his ass off with what Artie said

And sleeping in between games of solitaire.

and chomping shrimps, smacking his lips and irrigating his teeth

I bet if he was falling off the rails we’d of heard about it. Maybe no news is good news… or maybe is holed up in a basement depressed again.

He’s super thin!

I saw a picture of him in the sub. His nose is fixed and he looked good!
