Arthur Steven Lange Jr., commonly known as Artie Lange, is a famous American comedian, film producer, screenwriter, radio personality, as well as an actor. To the audiences, Artie Lange is perhaps best known for his numerous appearances on “The Howard Stern Show”, as well as hosting an entertainment talk show called “The Artie Lange Show”. The show first aired on the DirecTV network in 2011 and was initially co-hosted by Lange and Nick DiPaolo. “The Artie Lange Show” was not only broadcast on radio but provided the format of a live stream, as well as a podcast, which could be digitally accessed on iTunes. Despite its fairly successful beginnings, “The Artie Lange Show” met with several obstacles. At first, in 2013, DiPaolo decided to leave the talk show due to many differences, as well as differences of opinion between him and the network. A year later in 2014, DirecTV announced the show would be canceled after airing its last episode in April.
