Howard Stern announced on Monday morning that he knows the name of the weasel who leaked the details of Artie Lange's violent suicide attempt to the gossip news website TMZ.
Howard Stern referred to the person who leaked the gory details of Artie Lange's suicide attempt as a "maggot".
The maggot (whose name Howard Stern refused to share on-air) submitted the Artie Lange hospitalization tip to TMZ under the name "Jane Doe" and used Howard Stern Show producer Gary "Baba Booey" Dell'Abate's e-mail address in the contact field.
On Monday morning's Howard Stern Show broadcast, Stern sent a message for the "scumbag": "The guy really should be fired because he has a very professional job...that's so not cool, dude, but we know who you are."
Despite the fact that TMZ did release a vague statement from an Artie Lange representative stating that the Howard Stern Show co-host had been hospitalized for undisclosed reasons, Dell'Abate stat ed that TMZ actually had more information on the suicide attempt that they chose not to print.
It is as yet undetermined whether the lack of Artie Lange story exploitation is due to someone over at TMZ finding enough remnants of a soul to be kind to Artie Lange's family, or whether Harvey Levin and his band of merry poop farmers just know better than to mess with a friend of Howard Stern.
Howard Stern didn't release the name of the "scumbag" who leaked Artie Lange's story, but Howard Stern Show fans wouldn't trade places with that weasel right now for all of the Sphincterine in the the world.

Scumbag sounds accurate to me.
Was it Pauly Shore?
How can you feel about yourself after you've called TMZ to tell them this, don't you feel like garbage, I don't understand people man.
IT'S OLD NEWS. get over it.
Its all fun and games until its someone Stern knows. The guy should proud of himself. The best thing that could have happened was for Artie to be successful in his attempt so his mom doesnt have to deal with this 42 year old cancer any longer.
Was it Ralph??
That person you called a "loser" or "Cancer" is a human being like yourself, who is suffering from unbearable mental pain. To wish death upon a fellow American who pays his taxes, donates to charity and who's job is to make people feel good w/ laughter shows how incredibly jeloues and f--ed up person YOU are! What kind of person with any integrity posts a comment saying he likes the fact Artie Lange took a 13-inch kitchen knife repeatedly stapping himself over 9 times in his gut, only wishing he died so his mother's only son would stop being a "cancer in her life"?!. Unlike you, Artie has been taking care of his family finically since his father died, even buying his mother a house & giving his 1st $100,000 to his mother years after leaving NJ working hard becoming successful in showbusiness. YOU'RE THE ONLY "LOOSER" ACCOMPLISHING NOTHING? Artie is a stand up guy who is quick to lend money, do benefit shows (giving away upwards $10-$15000show) even flying to AFGAN enter. U.S. troops
I would really like to know who it was. Probably someone we don't see on the show that much. I'll looking out to see who is not part of the show anymore ...
