Artie Lange can't get out of bed 

Things are looking bad for Howard Stern Show co-host Artie Lange. After calling in sick for a full week of work, Artie Lange notified the King of All Media by text message that he would be absent for yet another show.

While Howard Stern refused to read Artie Lange’s text message aloud to the Howard Stern Show audience claiming that it was “Artie’s story to tell,” co-host Robin Quivers may have inadvertently let the Baby Gorilla out of the bag by implying that Artie Lange’s text message may have simply stated that he couldn’t get out of bed to come in to work. After Howard Stern passed the text message to Robin Quivers,

Robin exclaimed “Oh dear!” and “well that’s what it’s ALWAYS about” and then said that she thought that Artie Lange was taking something to “prevent that.” Robin Quivers then asked Howard Stern if he had ever had one of those days when he just couldn’t drag himself out of bed. After a Howard Stern Show caller proclaimed that Robin had let the secret of Artie’s text message out of the bag, Robin Quivers tried to backtrack and say that she was just referring to Artie’s situation in the abstract.

Whatever the exact wording of Artie Lange’s brief text message, Howard Stern Show listeners are wondering if the “Artie Lange situation” is finally coming to a head. The Chris Farley-style implosion that the Howard Stern Show cast and listeners have been fearing for so long may finally be on the horizon.
