There is a specific texture to the year 2008. It was the year the bottom fell out. The housing market crumbled, Lehman Brothers vanished, and the collective anxiety of a nation spiked. But in the sterile, fluorescent-lit halls of Sirius Satellite Radio—specifically Studio 69—a very different kind of chaos was being broadcast.
You cannot speak of the 2008 archive without acknowledging the tragic, chaotic center of gravity that was Artie Lange .
If you ask a dedicated "Stern Fan Network" veteran or a subscriber to SiriusXM ’s 100th channel, "What is the best single year of Howard Stern content?" you will get a variety of answers: the chaotic Billy West years of the 90s, the Artie Lange golden era of 2003-2005, or the post-AGT renaissance of 2012.
On April 10, 2008, one of the most famous outbursts in show history occurred when Artie confronted his assistant, Teddy , over alleged financial mismanagement, leading to a near-physical altercation.
