Honestly, what the fuck were they thinking with Artie?

Ant and Keith hire and rebrand the network's flagship show with a guy struggling with an ongoing severe abuse/addiction problem. I'm sure the contract is an interesting read. But after 3 years, this is the best they could come up with? I like Artie and I feel bad for the situation he's in. This was more a criticism of Ant and Keith's judgement.

Yes, Keith has no business running any sort of organization.

You might remember Keith's great organisation of beating coloureds with billy clubs 'back in the day' and telling O&A about it for street cred.

Maybe he could organise planting drugs on coloureds while while beating homeless at the same time. That's the extent of his skills

Let me see if I can break it down - they weren't.

The shows have been fucking hilarious. No clue what you bitter fucks are talking about. Better than Ant on his own.

Yeah Keith is a retarded piece of shit, but getting Artie was pretty much the only option to do something barely relevant.

At least now I can mention the show to people and not be totally embarrassed. Everyone likes Artie.

I agree, they have been better than Ant alone. I posted this after the Hansen segment so it was kind of a reaction to that. I hope the show turns around. I gave it year from the day he started back at his house but it just was very disappointing I think for most fans. I was happy when I heard it was Artie. I just hope he can hold it together. He must be able to most of the time because he was solid in Crashing.

Don't feel bad for Artie. I did for a long time. All he has to do is not fuck up all the time.

I think it's great. And Artie is only good if he's high so wtf do want from the guy? You want a fucking sober Artie Lange and a serious Chris Hansen interview or Artie on Heroin calling Chris a pedophile?

We are talking like Anthony and Keith have ever had good judgement to begin with. It really isn't surprising at all that they made such a short sighted decision.

That said, Artie is hilarious on the show. But no way he lasts long term if he is still using.
