Comedian Artie Lange has been hospitalized at a New Jersey hospital.

Artie’s publicist released a statement saying,

We can confirm that Artie is in the hospital.  Artie has chosen to keep all information on this matter between him and his doctor.  There will be no further comment.

Artie is known for being Howard Stern’s sidekick and for his substance abuse issues.  He lost his license for 7 months for DUI after pleading guilty to driving while under the influence of Restoril.

Maybe this will be a good wake-up call for Artie and he’ll get the help he needs.
