The dark, often self-destructive comic has a new book and a new lease on life, and headlines the Borgata’s Music Box on Saturday, Aug. 25.
Lange believes the pain he has experienced over the years has helped him become a better artist.
“I think dark things help most people become better performers,” Lange says. “Look at the Rolling Stones and where they were when they were doing Chuck Berry covers and all the hell they went through that inspired [the documentary film] Gimme Shelter.”
Lange will always praise Stern for helping his career reach another level. “I had a great time on his show and I can’t thank him enough,” Lange says. “After things happened [his suicide attempt], Howard just wanted to make sure I was OK.”
Stern thought it was time for the two to part company professionally, largely for Lange’s own good.
“Howard didn’t think those morning hours and that atmosphere was good for me and he was right,” Lange said. “He has been really supportive and I’m back doing what I do, which is stand-up and I’m on the radio again. I’m a survivor.”

As the weather starts to warm up, so will the lineup for weekly entertainment nightlife at Revel’s award-winning The Social this spring.
Life is about experiences, not fun for Adam Carolla. That’s the reason the comic/actor/radio host agreed to perform on Dancing With The Stars in 2008. That’s why he appeared on the last edition of Donald Trump’s Celebrity Apprentice, which aired last winter.
During the spring of 2006, three months before Lucky Louie premiered on HBO, it was obvious that Louis C.K. was on his way to becoming the hardest working man in show business.

“Artie is hilarious when you hear him on Stern reruns on Sirius. I wish he would at least do the show once to catch up with Stern fans.
He was out of control in a John Belushi/Chris Farley way so it is good he got some help.........Now get back to the docks and tell jokes while making $12 an hour you fat fvck!”
