Troubled comic Artie Lange landed in the hospital after stabbing himself nine times in an apparent suicide attempt, sources told The Post.

Lange's frantic mom called 911 Saturday morning after she entered his Hoboken apartment and found the bloodied funnyman, a law-enforcement source said. Lange sustained six "hesitation wounds" and three deep plunges. A source close to Lange's management team confirmed that the Howard Stern sidekick stabbed himself, adding that his mother had come to visit him that day to drop off food.

Surgeons managed to save Lange despite heavy bleeding. "We all have our demons," Stern said on-air this week, referring to Lange's past battles with addiction. "Artie has given this show tremendous moments of great comedy. He's a tremendous contributor. He is a good man. Don't forget how great he is."

It is extremely hard to commit suicide by stabbing oneself. I can't believe he had 1 let alone 3 deep stab wounds. The brain usually shuts off w/ reason after 1 or 2 hesitation attempts.


Very surprised he got 3 deep plunges.


He was LIT up on something to get that to happen.

Considering Artie's history, that's probably a good bet. I was really hoping he'd beat it this time.

That guy has had troubles for a long time. Not speaking of suicide but just trouble with other stuff for a long time. I have to say I am surprised he is not already dead from an overdose or something else.

Eliot Smith unfortunately succeeded. Thank God Lange failed.
He should probably be kept somewhere for a while.

Sounds more like a cry for help. He could have easily sliced his wrists, but opted for something less lethal.

So were the hesitation wounds the first ones, or last ones? Inquiring minds want to know.

I would think they were the first ones but that is just speculation.

Maybe it was a crude attempt at performing personal liposuction.

:laugh2: Sounds like a joke they would make on the show after he got better.

:laugh2: Great idea. Bonecrusher should pull a call in Ba-Ba Booey Ba-Ba-Booyey Fa-Fa-Foo-Hi on Howard's show w/ that comment once Artie is deemed ok to return.

A really poor attempt at an OJ Simpson joke:confused:

...if the pants don't fit, you must acquit.

Ironic thing is that he and the others really bad mouthed Owen Wilson for his "attempted" suicide a few years ago.

It's sort of typical of that show.
A bunch of real jerks really.

Why in the world would you try to stab yourself to death?

[MarionBarberThe4th]

Punishing yourself for something?

[Bob Sacamano]

to be a cut above the rest

:laugh1:

Let's just assume he was high on something. Or depressed due to the side effects of withdrawal.

Did his hot girlfriend leave him?

As the poster formerly known as Artie Lange,I feel sad for the guy.
Does not matter how successful you are in life if you cannot defeat your inner demons.

[DIAF]

This dude is majorly screwed up.

From the neck up i'd give her a 5.

A 5? Seriously? That's idiotic.

[zrinkill]

From the neck up i'd give her a 5.

Either way she is way out of Arties league.

She is most likely a gold digger.

I get that impression too.

[justbob]

Hesitation marks are always the first ---They are working up the courage or what ever. Same as hesitation shots .They are seeing if they can pull the trigger and what it etc

[Jon88]

Anyone remember when he ruined Joe Buck's first show on Joe Buck Live? That was brutal. It's on Daily Motion if anyone hasn't seen it (strong language).

[CowboysFaninBaltimore]

:-( I love Artie Lange! The dude has always had a knack for making me laugh my tuckus off quite often. Yeah I know he hates the Cowboys lol. Whatever but he is an awesome fit on the Stern show. I hope he comes back stronger!

[TheCount]

Well duh, plus the 5 for next down, that's a 10.

He's already been released by the Hospital. I would have thought that he would have been committed after a suicide attempt, but he wasn't not even briefly.
