Norm Macdonald was a guest on yesterday’s Toucher & Rich show on 98.5 The Sports Hub. He told a short story about Artie breaking his ankle during a celebrity softball game. Also, Norm said he spoke to Artie a couple days ago and remarked, “he was doing real well.”

Too funny. Thanks for posting. Norm is awesome. Good to hear Artie is doing better.
Thrilled to hear he is doing well. I am also happy to hear he is speaking to friends and not totally isolating himself.
These types of updates sure make me smile. Thanks for posting.
This is good news to hear….. Norm is a true friend to Artie. Well I hope this is the begining of more news on Art.
Get well Art
Thanks for posting…good news that Artie’s doing better…
FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIAAAAAARRRRRRR!
Norm old kicking ass friend.
ok now need to listen to it!;)
Does anyone know if this is real or recent? there is a picture of Artie at walmart on stern fan network. Here’s the link http://www.sternfannetwork.com/forum/showthread.php?t=513158
It does NOT look like him
No way that is Artie. The “fag bag” around this beast’s , uh, waist is a dead give away. Artie is too manly to wear that.
Although, sad to say, the guy in the pic does look like Artie, it’s not him.
SFN trolls are such stupid bags of hair…….
Its on the internets…Its Artie.
@Alpharaider – howard has made a career out of trolling, he is one of the greatest IRL trolls of all time. it is only fitting that many of his hardcore fans enjoy trolling themselves.
I know my baby and thats him
I bought him that man purse for Christmas to hold his needles
That’s not Artie…the link under the pic says “people of walmart” which was part of an email sent out months ago…
Nice to see arti has a true friend in Norm. Not someone who just uses him and forgets about him like Howard has seemed to.
I downloaded a crazy alice pack from a link that someone posted on the ween forum and it was really great hearing all the old Artie/Crazy Alice phone calls …”You’re a pile of shit with eyeballs” “Your $2 nylon pants are prob. filled w/ shit” “You look like a fat Danny Glover”
I got really sad when I heard the “Baby Gorilla” segment yesterday on Mammary Lane.
I haven’t been listening to any of it. Its nice to take a break and concentrate on work.. …sometimes
@ Sweaty Balls, me too….
I normally don’t listen to the repeats/specials, but have been missing the show lately, so i thought I would catch up. funny but very sad at the same time….
Some rumors are out there that Artie is going to be on the show tomorrow…… any truth to this?
artie will not be back on the howard stern show. He wanted to leave the show for years but hasn’t known how. now he can stay gone and never come back with no questions asked. it’s not howards fault, it is what artie has wanted and now has.
You really dont know Artie that well then…. you couldnt be more wrong my friend. Im not under the dilusion that he WILL be back for sure, but would like if he did. To make a broad brush statement like that is out of line…..
