• ARTIE LANGE - COMEDIAN, ACTOR, WRITER, PRODUCER, ENTREPENEUR, RADIO PERSONALITY. Those are just a few ways to describe this prolific talent who continues his rise in the entertainment industry. One of the most sought after live comedians and talk show guests, LANGE has been a regular on The Howard Stern Show for the past five years and has followed Howard from terrestrial radio to their current gig on Sirius Satellite Radio, and in that time LANGE'S popularity has skyrocketed.
  
  ARTIE LANGE began his career in the comedy clubs of New York City, where he helped to create the popular sketch comedy group Live On Tape, after writing and performing with other troupes, including Midnight Madness and The Improvables. Lange's breakout work with Live On Tape led to his being cast as one of the original series regular's on FOX's Mad TV, on which he made his television debut.
  
  The success of ARTIE on Mad TV led to him being cast opposite Norm MacDonald in Lange's first starring role in the MGM feature film Dirty Work. This lead to a string of feature films including, New Line's The Bachelor, starring opposite Chris O'Donnell and Renee Zellweger, Lost and Found with David Spade for Warner Brothers, Kinka Usher's Mystery Men, and the independent drama The Fourth Floor, opposite Juliette Lewis and William Hurt. ARTIE has also had supporting roles in the Dreamworks feature film Old School, starring Luke Wilson, Vince Vaughn and Will Ferrell, as well as, New Line Cinema's Elf, also starring Ferrell. He also reunited with MacDonald as a series regular on Norm on ABC.
  
  When Norm finished its run ARTIE came back to New York City and began sitting in regularly as a guest comedian on the nationally syndicated The Howard Stern Show. In October of 2001 he became a regular member of the show and can now be heard every day on Sirius Satellite radio.
  
  Recently, Artie starred, co-wrote, and produced his own feature film Beer League to rave reviews. Richard Roeper gave it "Thumbs Up" and the readers of the New York Times have rated it four out of five stars. Variety said "the pic offers a trip back in time to a pre-PC and feminist era when men were sexist Neanderthals, women supported them from the sidelines and the guy with the biggest mouth scored." ARTIE is also a regular guest on The Late Show With David Letterman, Late Night With Conan O'Brien, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and The Best Damn Sports Show, Period. He was also a guest roaster on Comedy Central's Roasts of Hugh Hefner and William Shatner. Continuing his hot streak, he recently shot episodes of the critically acclaimed hit series Entourage for HBO, and the season finale of Rescue Me for F/X.
  
  ARTIE has also produced his own concert DVD entitled ARTIE LANGE It's The Whiskey Talkin' which includes a racouous, sold out, stand-up performance, a behind the scenes look at some of Artie's gigs, and the award winning short film GAMEDAY which Lange wrote, produced and stars in. He continues to sell out comedy/concert venues across the United States performing his stand up comedy. Another milestone for ARTIE was selling out his performance at Carnegie Hall in 3 hours for a November 9, 2006 headline performance, as part of the New York Comedy Festival.
