Artie Lange Has Never Felt Better

Artie Lange didn’t show up to The Howard Stern Show this morning after their 2 week break, but he did call in to assure everyone he is doing great and feeling better than ever.

On the show Howard spend close to 20 minutes discussing Lange and his situation saying that the show’s producer Gary Dell’Abate informed Stern last week that Lange was checked in to an “intensive rehab” by his sister and friends.

Stern said Lange left him a message over the weekend saying he never felt better in his life and has been sober nearly two weeks and lost 20 pounds.

Lange called in just after 10 a.m. EST to clear any rumors and give his side of the story saying that he is dealing with a “bunch of things” and is seeing a psychotherapist and is receiving medical treatment for liver and stomach issues. He again claimed he hasn’t felt this good in 20 years and is working out on a daily basis and added that he’s lost 20 pounds.

He also admitted he was using heroine up until very recently, when he had sworn on the show repeatedly he was clean.

He also added that he would return to the show on Wednesday.
