I think his mom handled most of his money. I’m sure he’s set to live at least modestly for the rest of his life. I wonder if he even would want to do stand up again. Obviously like 2 out of every four fans probably tries to get fucked up with him.
Needs more fawking likes
He said he makes a teacher’s salary every Christmas from Elf royalties. But he would not really jokingly say to Ant after he got fired that he could use some extra cash.
I imagine now that he hasn't had a habit in years his financial situation has stabilized a bit. But Nana was recently dishing about her time with artie and it would seem that he'd frequently hit her up for money. Nana does have a tendency to fib but the AA show was basically arties rock bottom point so who knows. It wouldn't surprise me to find he was living paycheck to paycheck during that time, coke or dope alone are very expensive habits.
I think he needs Bocchetti to become his life coach
He's not doing well. It's pretty obvious.
Rich? No. Dude was borrowing money to pay the mortgage. His sister is fairly successful and his mom probably saved every nickel he would give her. Plus he allegedly had a new book deal but I don't know what happened with that....
The funniest thing during that time was how Artie was always doing interviews with local Jersey newspapers and media, and he never mentioned Nana or the A&A Show. Artie obviously disliked Nana, he didn't respect him at all, he thought working with Nana was beneath him, and he bled Nana dry while he was there. He frequently left DURING the show to go snort drugs in the bathroom, while the feeble old queen sat there tittering and grinning like a retard.
Yeah I resubbed during the artie era and it was easily the height of nanas show. Artie would tell Nana when to do an ad read after showing up 30 minutes late, high as fuck, and then spend the next 50 minutes in the bathroom snorting drugs. Nana would shuffle her papers and rail against niggers until he decided to show back up. There were also times he'd leave during the deep discount read and just never come back period.
I still can’t believe he was cohosting a show with Ant while also having a main role in a Judd Apatow show.
He mentioned in an interview somewhere that when he was filming Crashing he was paying half (or more) of every one of his checks to whatever Newark drug dealer could keep him well throughout the filming schedule. I hope Artie does another book because the stories from that chapter of his life had to be incredible.
I will never forget when Chance posted this on Reddit and just everyones ribs were pulverized.
Good dude who absolutely fucked Norm out of atleast 100k.
Honorable mention to the A&A show with Joe Matarese. Artie trashes him and Geno Bisconte, Nana manages to throw in a few jabs as well. Oh and the Chris Hanson episode is so cringe it’s brilliant.
