Outrageous, raw, and painfully funny true stories straight from the
life of the actor, comedian, and much-loved cast member of "The"
"Howard Stern Show"--with a foreword by Howard Stern.
When Artie Lange joined the permanent cast of "The" "Howard Stern
Show" in 2001, it was possibly the greatest thing ever to happen in
the Stern universe, second only to the show's move to the wild,
uncensored frontier of satellite radio. Lange provided what Stern
had yet to find all in the same place: a wit quick enough to keep
pace with his own, a pathetic self-image to dwarf his own, a
personal history both heartbreaking and hilarious, and an ingrained
sense of self-sabotage that continually keeps things interesting.
A natural storyteller with a bottomless pit of material, Lange grew
up in a close-knit, working-class Italian family in Union, New
Jersey, a maniacal Yankees fan who pursued the two things his
father said he was cut out for--sports and comedy. Tragically,
Artie Lange Sr. never saw the truth in that prediction: He became a
quadriplegic in an accident when Artie was eighteen and died soon
after. But as with every trial in his life, from his drug addiction
to his obesity to his fights with his mother, Artie mines the
humor, pathos, and humanity in these events and turns them into
comedy classics.
True fans of the "Stern Show" will find Artie gold in these pages:
hilarious tales that couldn't have happened to anyone else. There
are stories from his days driving a Jersey cab, working as a
longshoreman in Port Newark, and navigating the dark circuit of
stand-up comedy. There are outrageous episodes from the frenzied
heights of his coked-up days at "MADtv," surprisingly moving
stories from his childhood, and an account of his recent U.S.O.
tour that is equally stirring and irreverent. But also in this
volume are stories Artie's never told before, including some that
he deemed too revealing for radio.
Wild, shocking, and drop-dead hilarious, Too Fat to Fish is Artie
Lange giving everything he's got to give. And like a true pro, the
man never disappoints.
