Artie Lange would like Stern return

NEW YORK, July 7 (UPI) -- U.S. comedian Artie Lange, who underwent treatment for drug addiction after a suicide attempt, says he would love to return to Howard Stern's radio show.

Lange was Stern's sidekick from 2001 until last year when he suffered his breakdown.

E! News said Lange talked about how much he'd like to collaborate again with Stern when he was interviewed Wednesday on Fox Sports Radio.

"That would be the greatest thing ever," Lange said of a possible return to Stern's Sirius satellite radio show. "I was on the greatest show of all time for nine years but I put them in a very awkward situation to say the least. But I love all of them."
