Hot! Comic Artie Lange

Hoboken s Artie Lange , the former Howard Stern Show sidekick, has teamed up with fellow comedian Nick DiPaolo in Lange s return to radio, LaughSpin.com reports.

The program, called The Nick and Artie Show, can be streamed live on iheartradio.com from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. and is being carried by 940 WINZ: The Sports Animal in Miami, reports said, noting that DirectTV is capturing the action to broadcast at a later date. And each hour of every episode will be offered the following day as an on-demand podcast.

The show is Lange s return to the airwaves after many bad breaks, including his attempted suicide in January 2010. His last gig was Stern s daily morning show, which is broadcast on Sirius and XM satellite radio. Stern has not replaced Lange since he left the show.

The comedian said he has since been in three psychiatric wards and two rehab centers.

LaughSpin described his experiences:

He participated in, among other things, group therapy and art therapy. There was also some old-school gaming: You haven t lived until you ve played Scrabble in a psych ward, he said.

Lange said he s currently attending AA meetings to help stay sober, reports said.

Artie Lange was on The Late Show with David Letterman on CBS last night at 11:35 p.m. along with Eddie Brill and musical guest Beirut.
