Encyclopedic overview
Arthur Steven Lange Jr. (born October 11, 1967) is an American stand-up comedian, actor, and radio personality, best known for his work on Mad TV (1995–1997) and The Howard Stern Show (2001–2009). Raised in New Jersey, Lange first worked as a longshoreman and taxi driver to support his family following the paralysis of his father. He debuted as a stand-up in 1987 and began performing full-time five years later, developing his act on the New York City club circuit.
In 1995, Lange moved to Los Angeles to join Mad TV. His arrest for cocaine possession during the second season led to his departure and rehabilitation. In 1997, Norm Macdonald cast him in Dirty Work (1998), which led to further roles, including on Macdonald's sitcom The Norm Show. Lange returned to New Jersey in 2001 and joined The Howard Stern Show. During this period he released two comedy albums, co-wrote, produced, and starred in Artie Lange's Beer League (2006), and published his first book, Too Fat to Fish (2008), which entered The New York Times Best Seller list at number one.
