Artie Lange performs at Comedy Cellar in N.Y. in first show since suicide attempt

Artie Lange performed at a New York city club over the weekend in his first appearance on stage since his suicide attempt in January in Hoboken, according to fellow comedian Craig Gass.

Gass spoke of Lange's performance at the Comedy Cellar in New York during an appearance on the Howard Stern show this morning, according to . Gass also posted a photo of himself arm-in-arm with Lange on his Facebook page.

Lange, a regular on the Howard Stern show for many years, has long struggled with addiction. His mother found Lange unconscious Jan. 2 in his Hoboken residence, suffering from nine stab wounds to his stomach, police said at the time.

Lange took a hiatus from Stern's show in December 2009, and told The Star-Ledger at the time that he needed "to try to get my head straight."

Super Bowl Ads Get Pantsless And Weird Video

During last night’s Super Bowl, there was one really disturbing trend that emerged. There were a lot of guys without pants on. From the sumo wrestlers in their mawashis to an extremely casual Friday ad from pants company Dockers, this was the year of being sans pantaloons for a lot of Super Bowl advertisers. I have to admit, it was kind of disturbing; however, I do love Abe Vigoda getting sacked during pick-up football games with Betty White, so at least there was that going on. All in all, the ads were weird, yet disappointingly unfunny.

While the Dockers ads were very disturbing, they do point to one really good thing: from now until February 15, they’re giving away free pairs of pants on their website. I don’t know about you, but I can always use a free pair of pants, and I’ve already played once today. Unfortunately, it seems like we’re going to be getting a lot of those “Wear the Pants” commercials before it’s over.
