Howard Stern comics bombed, no joke
Wednesday, July 2nd 2008, 7:48 PM


Howard Stern pals Gary Dell'Abate and Artie Lange came under fire after performing a comedy show in Afghanistan.
Howard Stern nearly lost his closest cohorts in Afghanistan this week.

Stern's Sirius radio show producer Gary Dell'Abate, show regular Artie Lange and comedians Nick DiPaolo, Jim Florentine and Dave Attell had just finished a comedy show for troops in Kandahar when the base came under attack.

"Everything was going fine until the end," a friend of the comics, who heard from them by cell phone, tells us. "They were all done with their sets, and they were headed in a car convoy to a meet-and-greet elsewhere, but they only made it about 20 yards.

"The military base they were on came under mortar fire, and the convoy was turned around."

I was wondering why Howard was reruns all week. it has been kept a secret when baba booey and artie were going to make this trip.


my dad said when he was overseas (korean war) they were happy to see any amercian entertainment. I am glad that there are some celebs that are willing to go there and say hello to our service men and women.


(thinking of the new soasoas video)

It wasn't a complete secret though, a few times last week Gary and Artie mentioned that they were playing a "secret gig" this week (wink, wink, nudge, nudge). I just assumed that meant it was time to head overseas and it looks like it was.

Glad to hear they are OK and here's hoping Artie sweats off 30-40 pounds while there! Save the Baby Gorilla!

I wonder if Artie yelled "FIRE"......

Stern always takes the first 2-weeks of July off.

It should be funny whenever Howard returns to the air. Rumor has it that Babba Boey was acting like a Prima Donna. He should get a good tounge lashing from Howard.

All the comics are home safe and sound, may God keep our soldiers the same way.

Artie is the best story teller. I can't wait to hear this story! Glad they are all safe.
