Darrell Hammond on Artie Lange

[IlluminatiJones]

If you don't like Artie, who do you like?

And where can I find all these stupendous radio shows that you're listening to instead of Artie's show?



Artie's a good interviewer. It would help immensely if he knew more about his guests, but the fact remains that he's an excellent conversationalist.

His show is like a crisp 3-hour breeze blowin' through your melon.

This is sooo funny. I'm sorry. the Artie Lange show is funnier than anything I've heard in a loooong time. Talking about Mike Boschetti's private parts smelling like a landfill.

Wow. You need to get out more. That show is unlistenable.

I love Artie, but he's a colossal mess. He's clearly not sober and it shows in his voice. I watched his interview with Jackie, and he sounded the same as the voice mails to Booey when he called out sick (Hi Gar, this is Artie).

I disagree, it think he looked fine with the Jackie interview. His eyes look clear a send open and he was on target. The best part of his whole show is the banter at the beginning.

Yeah, he was clearly sober, or "sober enough", during the Jackie interview.

He's been fine since he came back from vacation.

The days leading up to it, not so much.

He seems like a guy that will behave for a few weeks, then "slip up", then need a few days/a week to get back on track.

Repeat.

As a fan I can live with that, but I won't blame DirecTV when they shit-can him.

artie might be the worst interviewer on the planet. it's like trying to listen to your parents get raped by wild boars.

During the Jim Florentine Interview every time Jim started to tell a story Artie would start talking over him. It was kind of annoying. Sometimes when Artie is friends with the guest he gets overly excited and the guest barely gets to talk.

Been skimming over Hammond's recent book this week, some interesting stuff in there. It opens with: "I was sent to the Sanctuary, a few miles north of New York City, via ambulance in the fall of 2010 after getting drunk and trying to cut my arm off with a large kitchen knife."

He is a good shit shooter, but that's all he brings to the table now. The show is not funny at all.

And where is Crash and Burn goddammit?
