If you haven't heard yet, last night's debut of HBO's Joe Buck Live was hijacked by over-the-top comedian Artie Lange of the Howard Stern Show. From the looks of it, it was all Buck could do not to leap over the coffee table and strangle the potty-mouthed Lange -- whose gay jokes and rapid-fire f-bombs were racy even for late-night cable. Here's one clip from the show...But wait it gets better (or is that worse?). Check out the online extra of the show over at Deadspin in which Lange accuses Buc

I think we can safely say it was a train-wreck. And by all accounts, pretty hilarious, even if people feel kind of bad that Buck's children were in the audience to witness it. And if you missed it, there's even m
This just in from the booking department over at the Roberts Orpheum Theater. The downtown St. Louis concert venue is playing host next month to Artie Lange. You know, the comic who crapped all over Joe Buck's debut talk show last week. Here's the announcement on the theater's website with a few relevant highlights. Wonder if Buck got the same "mature audiences" warning before deciding to have his young daughters watch him attempt to interview Lange on the show.In any case, Buck certainly knows
