For some reason I thought Artie Lange was dead. Not that it will take long for that to happen, but still. I'd trade 50 Artie Langes for 1 Patrice O'neal.
I am glad we have a poster w/ 5 posts discussing Artie Lange. Artie was awful, the show was MUCH better w/ Jackie.
There is just such an endless amount of Patrice audio on O&A that I sometimes forget he's dead. I listen to his old shows all the time but theres hundreds of hours on youtube so I still hear a lot of new Patrice. His standup was good but when he was just being himself on the radio he was one of the funniest guys alive.
it's not about credibility, it's about a guy who is a member of a Jets forum who doesn't discuss the Jets but chimes in on Artie Lange for some reason.
I love Howard but he's a shell of his old self. O&A and Jim Norton were gold until Cumia got his ass fired
I never listened to them. I agree Howard isn't as good as he used to be, he has mellowed w/ age and kind of turned into the guy he used to make fun of.
he was never the show. he was fine as a background guy when he first started. when he became too involved the show went way downhill.
He was funny, but I thought that as his blatant, drug-induced comas worsened. the show became far too centered around a hopeless junkie.
