True but also they maybe should have went the extra step further and had him on as a full time member of the show, it's always gonna be hard to live up to all the drama that unfolded etc without the real star of the show in the public's eyes.
I appreciate Joe Buck so much more now. He took that shit on the chin and stood up for Artie in the wake of it all. Takes courage when all that studio pressure was on him.
Same here. I really hate Buck as an announcer. I'm a pathetic Vikings fan, and I still don't understand why he got so upset by Moss pretending to moon the Packers' crowd. But this was crazy. Obviously Artie got the best of him, but he handled it well and had a few good shots for not being a comedian himself. Also yeah, good for him for taking responsibility for Artie being Artie. Joe Buck just has always come across as so fake, insincere, and full of himself to me, so it was nice seeing a different side of him, even if it was a complete disaster.

It really is awesome seeing someone like Joe dance with this the right way. This is literally the end of his climb. Art destroyed that by going after his throat but instead of Jo, getting angry at it, he tried to make lemonade out of it with the Times Square skit. That’s the move of an entertainment purist. Too bad at HBO didn’t have the nuts. But Joe is a certified stud for trying to swing it.
Joe Buck is forever a legend for this event. He handled it literally as well as any person could. Plus, it was so interesting that we are talk about it almost 20 yrs later
He handled it horrendously live... afterwards he took it but Buck was the reason it was so awkward... he tried to fire back at Artie instead of just rolling with it!!
He had one slightly decent line with “I’d rather do it with an A-lister” but Artie is way too quick for him. He gets ahead of any other dig that could be said about himself, in between shooting Buck an average of 3 times every minute (I counted)

Incidents like this always make me laugh. The whole “we hired a guy with a well known history of pushing the limits and being offensive (some would almost say it’s his job) and would you believe it! The guy went and did something offensive! I mean, honestly, how could I have predicted that?!” It’s just hard to believe people can be that obtuse and/or dumb ETA: meaning the producers, not Joe Buck
I get what you're saying, and I dug Artie, but the controversy came from just how relentlessly antagonistic he was. When he'd been on Conan or Letterman before, even if he was raunchy he would still be likeable. As we know, Artie was at the beginning of the end here in terms of the Stern show, the wheels were coming off majorly and often times he was more belligerent than funny. That's not to say that this wasn't entertaining and interesting to listen to, it was, because it was a train-wreck...
Bro, it's funny how people are like "man Joe's just not funny and he's boring" but it's like if he was actually able to run the show how we wanted, it would be hit. He came across as such a good charismatic guy and he had the whole table laughing when he did the impression. Im glad something funny came out of it for them as well.
He may have grown into it, and to be honest he gave back pretty good too. Not at the level of a real comedian but that one about the chins was pretty damn solid. He seems like a chill guy actually but probably not a talk show host.
Like genuinely, after the incident happened and he was able to tell his story you can see his dream of what he actually wanted, like people just hanging out and having a good conversation. @@SpartanArmy117
This is a wonderful example of why I love and appreciate this channel because this is stuff I missed and a part of comedy history that I want to know. You sure dig up a lot of stuff!
Gonna be honest here. Artie didn't even seem that outrageous. It was pretty funny and literally everyone in the studio was having a blast, including the audience. Maybe modern podcasts have skewed my threshold for chirping/banter, but it really didn't seem *bad* at all.
couldn't agree more. he was just doing it. HBO was just far removed from the point of this kind of comedy. I wish I was there in the crowd to say I was there.
Norm did not love this. This was Artie amongst an addiction binge happening to sit (and Completely fill) the chair he’s in. It was not Norm’s antics, it was Artie’s drug addiction. Norm was thinking of jokes, Artie was thinking of his next line. Corporatism is the elite hack, but compensating for being high and regretful is as hack as a sack.
He deliberately put the cig in PAUL'S water while he wasn't looking. Probably scared he'd have been sued for attempting to poison him. Artie doesn't have genuine concern for anyone but Artie.
If Artie had just taken the shots back and smiled without getting all vindictive with his comebacks, it could have been a great segment. Artie's insecurity always won.
At this point in his life, he was at the end of his rope. He was obviously using during this whole time period, and he admits it, like it shows in the video. And Artie STILL had his chances. Everyone was in his corner, and he did some of his best work after all this on CRASHING. But as someone who chased the dragon as well - and have been able to maintain my sobriety for 13 years - I get up some mornings and the first thing I want to do is use. Luckily I have a support structure, good therapists, etc. As soon as Artie hits the comedy circuit, the enablers come out of the woodwork, and if I was getting H and vicodin shoved in my face I'd fall hard too. Part of that is that anger at yourself for being so weak, and eventually the demons you are trying so hard to cover up with your drug use come out to play, and here is the result. I totally agree that had Artie made this playful, it would be a different thing. It reminds me a little of the infamous Joe Materese meltdown when he brings Artie, Anthony Cumia, and Jimmy Norden on to his show and they proceed to rip him apart. Actually, Buck gets some got shots in, unlike Materese.
Jason and Paul handled that well. Jason looked like he was trying not to show how much he was enjoying watching Artie completely deconstruct the entire show with front row seats lol. He had some good comebacks aswell
@@poindextertunes lmao you can tell he appreciates that these types of people exist and enjoys the characters they are, but not enough to drag himself into cancelation aswell, he's swallowing those laughs down to keep his bank account up. Paul was more awkward laughing and "Mom? Can you pick me up? Im scared"
No, I think he wasn’t enjoying it all that much actually. he seemed pretty nervous because I think he didn’t want to be the target. Even with his comeback that wasn’t too bad, he almost seems nervous to say it which I don’t blame him. You’re on live TV with a comedian who does this for a living that’s also on the equivalent of social performance drugs (Xanax, heroin, uppers) That clearly invites people to throw shots at him so that he can devour them.
@@prof.vonspooky4562 I thought he was in horribly boring movies where he was very boring and everyone already forgot them? I also thought Paul, Joe, and Jason were pretty much the same person cloned 3 times.
After the dotcom era so you had (relatively) easy access to content, but not so much 24/7 media coverage where people can lose careers off a lame tweet. I remember you had to watch stuff like SNL live if you wanted to be in on the discussion. There was no youtube clip to instantly pull up
@@thefeverdream What I specifically mean is that there is always this threat of being cancelled for saying something someone will be offended by. Hence encouraging comedians not to cross certain lines, hereby "censoring" them. When was the last time you heard a comedian use the f "slur" for gay people?
I enjoyed the whole thing, Buck wasn't the most charismatic guy, but at least he threw some jabs, Jason defended himself well and Paul was as charming as always. It was a good TV moment
Another great video, 2lazy. This is back when I was a Stern diehard. As you mentioned, Buck and his producers really egged Artie on to do this. Unfortunately, they did not realize giving a roast comic on heroin carte blanche on your new HBO show is not the best of ideas. Joe knew.. and wanted this. Buck was a Stern simp & even used this incident to film a promo for future episodes.. Artie is chasing Buck down the streets of NYC or something? I vaguely remember. They got what they wanted and then some. I love how Sudekis thought he was going to try to do a bit of battling, a little roast tit for tat with Artie and then quickly saw he was out of his league. Paul Rudd, to his credit, recognized what was happening and stayed out of it as much as possible. Always fun watching big comedic actors go through this with unhinged real comedians. In this case, probably on 600 mg of Percocet & a bottle of Jack Daniel's lol.
Sudeikis also has a radio appearance where Norm shows up and they're both on air together for a long time and Norm just dominates the air while you forget Sudeikis is in the room. Small personality.
@@poindextertunes he threw a couple shots that weren’t too bad, but he could tell he was clearly too nervous to even say anything. He couldn’t even hold up a smile.
@@georgial6398I mean give the guy credit, nearly his entire career he plays the straight man for everyone to work off of. Nearly everything he did on SNL was straight man comedy so that's just where he's most comfortable.
Agreed, he did well but he just doesn't have the same type of persona as Artie. He threw in a nice non-offensive line and immediately realized that Artie doesn't chuckle along, he hits back hard and doesn't stop. They're just not a good match because he's probably just not an aggressive, argumentative guy. He was also right about becoming an A lister. Like it or not he's been in big movies and is the lead on a massive show.
Artie has gotta be one of the best, most witty comics of all time. Do you know how difficult it is to be hilarious when spiraling and or going through opiate withdrawal
Dood just snorted some prescription heroine and washed it down with some vodka. i dont think any withdrawals were happening in this particular moment lol
For the record, Artie claimed that the show producer said "if they get boring, let them have it". Joe also was a massive Stern fan, so he knew what he was getting with Artie.
I love the direction your taking the channel in, you used to be a lot meaner and just making videos about washed comedians but i really like what your doing now keep it up 🙏
It’s depressing sometimes knowing this period of magic is gone. Same with O&A. But I’m glad it’s all captured on film and audio recording and it makes me less sad knowing there’ll be many more periods of magic in the future from different shows. Arties awesome and I hope he’s doing well.
artie was the best part of hs such a solid dude. no matter if he hated you hed never mess with your living, he wouldnt wanna be the blame for anyone losing there jobs i remeber him saying that alot to alot of people
This is the first time I have found respect for Joe Buck and that was also one helluva impression. This show would have been awesome too with these guys as recurring characters.

@johngobble not on HBO they weren't. HBO had shit like Oz, Real Sex, and Hookers on the Point along with the bunny Ranch show. They had this show where they showed you what broadcast tv looked like in other parts of the world.

This was when Artie was peaking as a heroin addict and was too much for the Howard Stern show. Having him on the first episode of your LIVE uncensored TV show was a bold move. Even funnier he's sitting next to two guys that became big movie stars.
I would be a little butt hurt too if my friend, who I invited to be interviewed for one of the first episodes of my new show, came high and insulted me for an hour lmao
Oh well. You can necessarily control how you feel, but you can control how you act. Buck carried himself just fine, regardless of whether or not he was butt hurt.
He's a great NFL announcer and he seems to be a genuine person for the most part. He took this well cause his career is rolling with the blows and thinking quickly. Buck is one of the better color commentators in the league at the moment and I am always surprised to see guys like him doing stuff like this. The media doesn't seem to know what or who to put on networks and nothing has changed.
This was hilarious and definitely wouldn't air today which is unfortunate. I can only imagine how difficult trying to keep up with a comedian in a roast session would be but they all handled it well
If there was a show on tv these days with this level of trash talking all of the time I'd be glued to the screen laughing my ass off every time it came on😂
My dad built the studios for artie and Nicks shows. Everyone loved artie. They were all a little nervous of what he might do substance wise, but they all love him amd want the best. Thats how you know a guy is actually a good guy, just with demons. People still love him regardless of his problems.

It really is awesome seeing someone like Joe dance with this the right way. This is literally the end of his climb. Art destroyed that by going after his throat but instead of Jo, getting angry at it, he tried to make lemonade out of it with the Times Square skit. That’s the move of an entertainment purist. Too bad at HBO didn’t have the nuts. But Joe is a certified stud for trying to swing it.
They stayed cool
Joe Buck is forever a legend for this event. He handled it literally as well as any person could. Plus, it was so interesting that we are talk about it almost 20 yrs later
He handled it horrendously live... afterwards he took it but Buck was the reason it was so awkward... he tried to fire back at Artie instead of just rolling with it!!
@@stanleyfranks9891 dude he was way out of his league the entire time lol he's a sportscaster - legend in my book
He had one slightly decent line with “I’d rather do it with an A-lister” but Artie is way too quick for him. He gets ahead of any other dig that could be said about himself, in between shooting Buck an average of 3 times every minute (I counted)
Artie Lange is the man Bort Kleisbur wishes he could be.
I don't think anyone wishes to be artie lange
Imagine being cringe enough to type that
Don’t shame the name Bort
Dude its spelled blert krirelrer

As a fellow man who was surprised that you can get fat on cocaine, I have a lot of love for the man. I'm so pleasantly surprised to find out he's still alive
That battered woman joke was incredible! 🤣
Michael Irvin in the front rows laughing his a.ss off is hilarious lol.
Thats actually insane that Artie specifically said "number 4 thats the show you wont get to", and the show lasted 3 episodes
This show would have honestly had some golden moments if it just continued to do this 😂
Only because of the cringe factor though. Joe Buck is a fucking melon.
Yeah if they had the balls to lean into it this could of been a legendary show
@@Chainsawyou yeah but how would you do that? And do you just mean being antagonistic towards the host? The show wouldn’t have any direction, and it would just be random and get stale very quickly
HBO aint built like that as much as I love HBO.
Joe actually gave it back to him pretty good for a play by play guy 🤣
Pass is................................................................................................caught.
They stayed buddies
If they gave these two a full time show together it would've killed every week.
"I wouldn't mind being a lucky pierre between those two" 😂
we need Artie back, he always gives insanely re-watchable interviews.
Seen him lately? He’s a shell of his former self… for good reason of course but still.
Go sell smack under a bridge and you might catch him
I dont think you understand what 25 years of heroin and now fentanyl does to the soul. The same drugs that made him so brilliant have drained him
@@CorgiWranglerI think the fentanyl really did him in. It’s a different animal to come back from as opposed to script pills. You can go absolutely nuts on scripts and know you’ll live. The fentanyl stuff is different and I’m sure everyone knows someone who’s really not fully back from the fent abuse
we don't
Incidents like this always make me laugh. The whole “we hired a guy with a well known history of pushing the limits and being offensive (some would almost say it’s his job) and would you believe it! The guy went and did something offensive! I mean, honestly, how could I have predicted that?!” It’s just hard to believe people can be that obtuse and/or dumb
ETA: meaning the producers, not Joe Buck
I get what you're saying, and I dug Artie, but the controversy came from just how relentlessly antagonistic he was. When he'd been on Conan or Letterman before, even if he was raunchy he would still be likeable. As we know, Artie was at the beginning of the end here in terms of the Stern show, the wheels were coming off majorly and often times he was more belligerent than funny. That's not to say that this wasn't entertaining and interesting to listen to, it was, because it was a train-wreck...
ETA?

Bro, it's funny how people are like "man Joe's just not funny and he's boring" but it's like if he was actually able to run the show how we wanted, it would be hit. He came across as such a good charismatic guy and he had the whole table laughing when he did the impression. Im glad something funny came out of it for them as well.
You're crazy
give artie the show
lol k@@TheTuttle99
He may have grown into it, and to be honest he gave back pretty good too. Not at the level of a real comedian but that one about the chins was pretty damn solid. He seems like a chill guy actually but probably not a talk show host.
Like genuinely, after the incident happened and he was able to tell his story you can see his dream of what he actually wanted, like people just hanging out and having a good conversation. @@SpartanArmy117
This is a wonderful example of why I love and appreciate this channel because this is stuff I missed and a part of comedy history that I want to know. You sure dig up a lot of stuff!
Gonna be honest here. Artie didn't even seem that outrageous. It was pretty funny and literally everyone in the studio was having a blast, including the audience. Maybe modern podcasts have skewed my threshold for chirping/banter, but it really didn't seem *bad* at all.
People nowadays are so woke and sensitive, so it's more shocking to those idiots
Nah, it wasn't that bad haha
i think the issue was it was clear joe couldn't really roll w the punches
couldn't agree more. he was just doing it. HBO was just far removed from the point of this kind of comedy. I wish I was there in the crowd to say I was there.
yeah I watched it twice and I'm still wondering what he said that people were outraged about
Chin number 4 was a good line
10:44 Artie’s fireback zinger is 1000x better knowing this show’s last episode was the third one lmao
This was such a Norm move by Artie. I bet he loved every second of it
I was totally thinking of the Conan carrot top movie interview
Guaranteed Norm Loved it..I miss Norm.
@@daa589 I know a good title for the Carrot Top movie: Box Office Poison.
Norm did not love this. This was Artie amongst an addiction binge happening to sit (and Completely fill) the chair he’s in.
It was not Norm’s antics, it was Artie’s drug addiction.
Norm was thinking of jokes, Artie was thinking of his next line.
Corporatism is the elite hack, but compensating for being high and regretful is as hack as a sack.
@@daa589Chairman of the Bored
Damn Paul and Jason handled that beautifully. Especially Paul's "lucky pierre" to kind of keep the peace.
Artie's genuine concern about him drinking the water actually makes me like him.
Wow, what a humanitarian.
He deliberately put the cig in PAUL'S water while he wasn't looking. Probably scared he'd have been sued for attempting to poison him. Artie doesn't have genuine concern for anyone but Artie.
This was fireworks. The tug and pull of tension and chemistry was a sight to behold.
If Artie had just taken the shots back and smiled without getting all vindictive with his comebacks, it could have been a great segment. Artie's insecurity always won.
At this point in his life, he was at the end of his rope. He was obviously using during this whole time period, and he admits it, like it shows in the video. And Artie STILL had his chances. Everyone was in his corner, and he did some of his best work after all this on CRASHING. But as someone who chased the dragon as well - and have been able to maintain my sobriety for 13 years - I get up some mornings and the first thing I want to do is use. Luckily I have a support structure, good therapists, etc. As soon as Artie hits the comedy circuit, the enablers come out of the woodwork, and if I was getting H and vicodin shoved in my face I'd fall hard too. Part of that is that anger at yourself for being so weak, and eventually the demons you are trying so hard to cover up with your drug use come out to play, and here is the result. I totally agree that had Artie made this playful, it would be a different thing. It reminds me a little of the infamous Joe Materese meltdown when he brings Artie, Anthony Cumia, and Jimmy Norden on to his show and they proceed to rip him apart. Actually, Buck gets some got shots in, unlike Materese.
@@leonavunobody cares about your life story
Jason and Paul handled that well. Jason looked like he was trying not to show how much he was enjoying watching Artie completely deconstruct the entire show with front row seats lol. He had some good comebacks aswell
His initial reaction said everything then he toned it down 😂
@@poindextertunes lmao you can tell he appreciates that these types of people exist and enjoys the characters they are, but not enough to drag himself into cancelation aswell, he's swallowing those laughs down to keep his bank account up.
Paul was more awkward laughing and "Mom? Can you pick me up? Im scared"
No, I think he wasn’t enjoying it all that much actually. he seemed pretty nervous because I think he didn’t want to be the target. Even with his comeback that wasn’t too bad, he almost seems nervous to say it which I don’t blame him. You’re on live TV with a comedian who does this for a living that’s also on the equivalent of social performance drugs (Xanax, heroin, uppers) That clearly invites people to throw shots at him so that he can devour them.
I think their reactions were very boring and not entertaining. One entertainer was on the stage.
@@thefeverdreamxanax and heroin are social performance drugs? LOL
13:25 Holy shit Jason absolutely murdered him. It was so silent and well thought out. Damn that man has my fear and respect
Best part of the video lmfao
Considering Jason's success since then, dude did it right.

Dude that had me absolutely rolling
I honestly do not understand who would think that was bad
This Era of comedy (basically 2000s) was wild, even Stirn went a little too far for me at times; but holy shite is this funny
After the dotcom era so you had (relatively) easy access to content, but not so much 24/7 media coverage where people can lose careers off a lame tweet. I remember you had to watch stuff like SNL live if you wanted to be in on the discussion. There was no youtube clip to instantly pull up
It’s funny cause they didn’t censor comedy
The Comedy Central roasts use to be good in that era. Everyone got too pc since then.
@@CZYK- people always say that, but what’s being censored? If it was on HBO, it’s the same censorship as Now
@@thefeverdream What I specifically mean is that there is always this threat of being cancelled for saying something someone will be offended by. Hence encouraging comedians not to cross certain lines, hereby "censoring" them. When was the last time you heard a comedian use the f "slur" for gay people?
I enjoyed the whole thing, Buck wasn't the most charismatic guy, but at least he threw some jabs, Jason defended himself well and Paul was as charming as always. It was a good TV moment
This is one of the funniest episodes of any talk show I’ve ever seen. I wish they did this weekly.
The host handled it as best he could, then stuck by him all these years. What a legend.
Another great video, 2lazy. This is back when I was a Stern diehard. As you mentioned, Buck and his producers really egged Artie on to do this. Unfortunately, they did not realize giving a roast comic on heroin carte blanche on your new HBO show is not the best of ideas. Joe knew.. and wanted this. Buck was a Stern simp & even used this incident to film a promo for future episodes.. Artie is chasing Buck down the streets of NYC or something? I vaguely remember. They got what they wanted and then some. I love how Sudekis thought he was going to try to do a bit of battling, a little roast tit for tat with Artie and then quickly saw he was out of his league. Paul Rudd, to his credit, recognized what was happening and stayed out of it as much as possible. Always fun watching big comedic actors go through this with unhinged real comedians. In this case, probably on 600 mg of Percocet & a bottle of Jack Daniel's lol.
Sudiekis held his own tho? like he said he still had a shot at a career and he made it 🤷♂️
Sudeikis also has a radio appearance where Norm shows up and they're both on air together for a long time and Norm just dominates the air while you forget Sudeikis is in the room. Small personality.
@@poindextertunes he threw a couple shots that weren’t too bad, but he could tell he was clearly too nervous to even say anything. He couldn’t even hold up a smile.
@@georgial6398I mean give the guy credit, nearly his entire career he plays the straight man for everyone to work off of. Nearly everything he did on SNL was straight man comedy so that's just where he's most comfortable.
Agreed, he did well but he just doesn't have the same type of persona as Artie. He threw in a nice non-offensive line and immediately realized that Artie doesn't chuckle along, he hits back hard and doesn't stop. They're just not a good match because he's probably just not an aggressive, argumentative guy. He was also right about becoming an A lister. Like it or not he's been in big movies and is the lead on a massive show.
The host was brave for engaging in a banter battle with Artie lmao. Held his own too
Artie has gotta be one of the best, most witty comics of all time. Do you know how difficult it is to be hilarious when spiraling and or going through opiate withdrawal
apparently he was pretty loaded here
Dood just snorted some prescription heroine and washed it down with some vodka. i dont think any withdrawals were happening in this particular moment lol
@@poindextertunes I’m not saying he was withdrawing in this moment. Mainly on stern. His life was still spiraling at this time tho
Opiate withdrawal is the worst feeling ever...
@@TrumpFanNetwork2 true that!
Comedic genius to me. I laughed my ass off and I don’t even know any of these people. It’s like unfiltered banter between friends.
Other than the bomophobic comments, which was in the green back then, this is mild compared to so many modern interviews
Homophobia is fuckin hilarious
Joe's impression of Artie was pretty spot on 😂
Artie is a complete savage. And dude actually did handle it well. He know what he signed up for
Man, I came for the comedy world gossip, but stay for these kinds of videos. Love the work you put into it, and your no BS editing style. Keep it up!
This was the first honest talk show I ever seen in my entire life
For the record, Artie claimed that the show producer said "if they get boring, let them have it". Joe also was a massive Stern fan, so he knew what he was getting with Artie.
I think he knew, but he wasn’t expecting it to be like it went
That's in this video...
"You won't make it to the 4th episode" Artie "Nostradamus" Lang
I love the direction your taking the channel in, you used to be a lot meaner and just making videos about washed comedians but i really like what your doing now keep it up 🙏
That shot at Artie about being a c-list celebrity was harsh. He almost stumbled but he came back strong.
It’s depressing sometimes knowing this period of magic is gone. Same with O&A.
But I’m glad it’s all captured on film and audio recording and it makes me less sad knowing there’ll be many more periods of magic in the future from different shows. Arties awesome and I hope he’s doing well.
Sunrise, sunset
It's also refreshing to see a black guy in a suit that hadn't had to be in court that day
Lmao
artie was the best part of hs such a solid dude. no matter if he hated you hed never mess with your living, he wouldnt wanna be the blame for anyone losing there jobs i remeber him saying that alot to alot of people
Howard stern was 100% uncomfortable with Arties appearance , that’s why he had Ralph call in .
This is the first time I have found respect for Joe Buck and that was also one helluva impression. This show would have been awesome too with these guys as recurring characters.
@ 24:36 Joe Buck agreeing that "sports people take themselves really seriously..." is ridiculous on its face, ... after saying about Randy Moss's feigned mooning "Now that is a disgusting act ..."
The whole segment was hilarious. Joe Buck got Artie with some good shots too. And Jason’s comebacks were hilarious.
looked this up and watched the whole thing... it was amazing, hysterical, exactly what HBO should have wanted.
I love the comedian moments commentary! Even these videos arent huge effort high production cost, crazy editing masterpieces, they're really good man! You invented a sort of thing I've never seen and I've been on youtube for a long time.

Cannot believe HBO thought any of this was a problem. This is pretty tame stuff that is clearly being enjoyed by the audience and viewers. Don’t understand why anyone could’ve been mad.
While I do agree we have to keep in mind that things were more tame back then in general
@@johngobblehard disagree. People were much more tolerant of offensive comedy in previous decades
You gotta understand, HBO was running family entertainment like Game of Thrones and Ballers. They couldn’t have this ruining their reputation.
@@johngobblemore tame back then? That was 2009 not 1959 lol
@johngobble not on HBO they weren't. HBO had shit like Oz, Real Sex, and Hookers on the Point along with the bunny Ranch show.
They had this show where they showed you what broadcast tv looked like in other parts of the world. They played this segment where it was 3 bare asses on the screen with mouths layered in to look like buttholes.
These assholes began to sing about how much they like being fucked in the butt.
Do not tell me HBO was more tame back then
13:40 In retrospect Jason pretty much nailed Artie's long term prospects

This was when Artie was peaking as a heroin addict and was too much for the Howard Stern show. Having him on the first episode of your LIVE uncensored TV show was a bold move. Even funnier he's sitting next to two guys that became big movie stars.

I would be a little butt hurt too if my friend, who I invited to be interviewed for one of the first episodes of my new show, came high and insulted me for an hour lmao
Oh well. You can necessarily control how you feel, but you can control how you act. Buck carried himself just fine, regardless of whether or not he was butt hurt.
Well that coke head idiot got his show canceled 😂 half of what he said was not even funny, it just seemed like he was trying to ruin it.
Jesus, g string divas? That takes me back to my childhood.
He's a great NFL announcer and he seems to be a genuine person for the most part. He took this well cause his career is rolling with the blows and thinking quickly. Buck is one of the better color commentators in the league at the moment and I am always surprised to see guys like him doing stuff like this. The media doesn't seem to know what or who to put on networks and nothing has changed.
