Artie Lange, best known for being Howard Stern’s radio sidekick, has reportedly checked into rehab to be treated for drug and alcohol abuse.
The 40-year-old comedian admitted himself into an intensive outpatient rehabilitation program over the weekend, his spokesperson Lewis Kay has confirmed.
Lange canceled a series of stand-up shows and appearances, including his pal Bob Saget’s Comedy Central Roast on Sunday, to seek treatment.
A source tells the New York Post that Stern’s sidekick “felt awful for not being there for Bob, but needed to make his health a priority“.
Lange reportedly plans to return to Stern’s Sirius radio show following treatment.
We wish him well.
