Donald Trump is sending good wishes along to Howard Stern Show sidekick Artie Lange who is currently on hiatus from the show while he recovers from a violent suicide attempt in early January.
Artie Lange Page Six story exposes violent suicide attempt
Trump gave the Artie Lange quote during an interview with New York Magazine in response to Lange's interview for the Magazine's '21 Questions' column in November 2009. When the Howard Stern Show second banana was asked: "What do you think of Donald Trump?" he responded: "I like him, but he owes me $42k from the last time I was at the Taj."
Donald Trump's statement on Artie Lange was a lot less flip: "I like Artie too. He's a really good comedian. I hope he's going to be okay." New York Magazine reporter Tali Yahalom said Trump ended the interview abruptly after the Artie Lange question.
The Howard Stern Show has been without Artie Lange since the comedian was ordered to take time off for health reasons in December 2009. Since news of his failed suicide attempt by stabbing in January, his future with the Howard Stern Show has remained uncertain. Both Howard Stern and Sirius XM Vice-President Tim Sabean have stated that Artie Lange's job at the Howard Stern Show will be waiting for him when and if he decides to return.
