Howard Stern said Monday he would not comment on sidekick Artie Lange’s recent admission to the hospital for an undisclosed condition. However, the radio shock jock did take time to blast rumors about the comedian’s fragile state, saying he “wanted to vomit” over some of the things being said about Lange.

Comedian and Howard Stern sidekick Artie Lange was admitted to a hospital in New Jersey on Saturday. No information has been released on his condition, but his gigs through February appear to have been cancelled.
