Artie Lange Twitter Rant Renders Howard Stern Sidekick Unhirable; Artie Lange Twitter Feeds Still Throw Shade

Artie Lange Twitter rant cost the Philadelphia funnyman quite a few jobs and it doesn't look like Artie will be off the hook anytime soon.

Even now his Twitter feed is steaming. A Twitter user named Fuckface @childofbodom83 wrote on Artie's Twitter account "@artiequitter white man drivin, stuffin his face when he ran into a woman of a different race and her soul went into him!! My white mama!!" and a user named Robby Griffith @robbyngriffith  tweeted "@artiequitter I've been of fan of yours for almost 20 years and I can't get one goddamn fuckin' re fuckin' tweet?!?!!?!? Ur racist."

Lange was a foil for Howard Stern on The Howard Stern Show for years. Last week, Artie Lange tweeted a slavery-era sex fantasy about ESPN's Cari Championis rendering him unhireable. Lange imagined himself as Thomas Jefferson, and cast "First Take" host Cari Champion as his slave.


"The chick on ESPNs First Take is so Fu**in hot. Here's the scenario I'm suing to jerk off to chick on First Take I'm T. Jefferson & she's my slave. She beats the s**t out of me & runs free," Artie Lange wrote on his Twitter account.


The shock comedian was banned from ESPN after tweeting racist and sexist jokes about Cari Champion, the moderator of First Take. 


ESPN issued a statement regarding Lange's Twitter comments, stating "His (Lange's) comments were reprehensible and no one should be subjected to such hateful language. They objectify and demean one of our valued employees under the thin guise of 'comedy' and are offensive to all of us. We will not dignify them with any other comment."

Shortly after the Twitter posts, the 47-year-old comic's planned appearance on Comedy Central's @midnight on Thursday was yanked, Comedy Central confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter.


Lange took to Twitter to apologize, explaining that the tweet was a joke, but it was too late. 


Cari Champion has reportedly declined to comment.


After the offensive tweets, Lange continued on Twitter saying "I won't debate if the tweets were funny. That could take minutes of precious time left in my career. The issue is do they warrant an apology. Tricky question. I would rather load trucks for a living then ever apologize to one of these awful PC groups ruining the country."
He added, "So that's a NO. But if it upsets the lady in question that's another story. Let me say to @CariChampion if this hurt u in any way I'm sorry."
