Howard Stern Sidekick Artie Lange Gets Banned From HBO for Profanity NYPost

Artie Lange, the comic who's an essential element of Howard Stern's morning team, won’t be returning to HBO Sports any time soon after unleashing a torrent of profanity on Monday’s “Joe Buck Live,” reports the New York Post.

Lange appeared with Paul Rudd and Jason Sudeikis of “Saturday Night Live” in an eight-minute segment on the program’s premiere.

I was appauled by Artie Lange's behavior, but thought Buck handled it really well. What started off as a good show with a great Brett Favre interview, ended up a disaster, thanks to Lange...too bad. He should be ashamed of himself and hopefully other networks will follow HBO's lead and not hire him or have him appear. Talk about a train wreck.

HBO bans someone for profanity? Are you kidding me? Is this the same network that brought us Real Sex, Taxicab Confessions, and is about to unleash a new show called 'Hung?"

Give me a break...

If it wasn't for Artie Lange, no one would even know "Joe Buck Live."

Come on people, it's HBO and it's Artie. If you have ever listened to the Howard Stern show, which is uncensored, It makes sence what artie did. The man makes money to make comments that way and if he offends you, don't f*****g hire the guy to do a show. He's the man that's all I have to say, funny as heck.
