George wrote an email to Artie about how offended and upset he was over Artie’s use of gay bashing language towards High Pitch Mike. Robin said there is no excuse. Artie was apologetic and clarified that he “don’t hate gay people, I really do hate mike”. Someone needs to call Dr. Ablow and ask him if that comment makes any sense.
Jessica Hahn called in this morning because her long time boyfriend died of lung cancer last night. After Jessica hung up, Artie said that he needed a moment to apologize about the Heath Ledger jokes he made immediately following Heath Ledger’s death. Apparently he had gotten a good response when he used the joke on the East Coast and then went over to Las Vegas and opened the 2 shows with the joke and it killed again.
As I previously blogged, TMZ had caught the Ledger jokes on camera:
“When I’m up by a lot, I got so comfortable.”
Before Artie even got 10% percent of his winnings back from the Super Bowl win, Artie loses $5,500 on betting the under on the Pro Bowl.
