\u201cWe all have our demons,\u201d said Stern, referring to Lange\u2019s past battles with addiction. \u201cArtie has given this show tremendous moments of great comedy. He\u2019s a tremendous contributor. He is a good man. Don\u2019t forget how great he is.\u201d<\/p>\n
Stern, who has hosted the controversial radio program, \u201cThe Howard Stern Show,\u201d on Sirius\/XM radio since January 2006, also denied that Lange was quitting the show and being replaced by Jim Breuer.<\/p>\n
