How did Artie last so long at Stern?

Artie wasn't a sirius employee.
Everyone was hired through Sirius. No one worked for Howard except for Ralph and Ronnie. Artie was a full time Sirius employee with all the health and dental benefits and insurance. Ralph died without health insurance because he was working directly for Howard.
Howard's production company was paid a $100 million a year and it sounds like he 'syndicated' the show to sirius.
Howard 100 and 101 get $100 million to fill the channels with programming each year. Any leftover money goes to Stern. So the incentive for Stern was to pay everyone the absolute bare minimum and pocket the rest for himself. Artie was making something like $700,000 a year at his peak on Sirius but $2-3 million in standup gigs and DVDs each year. This is why each year the Stern channels would have fewer shows and employees and now there are no other shows but old Stern tapes.

He was supposed to replace Jackie but couldn’t write in Stern’s voice so he just left the mic on. Artie leaving marks the end of Stern being funny. WWAWD Marci Turk?! If 9/11 didn’t happen then Stanhope or someone else would have been in the chair. Howard just loves fuck ups because he lives such a normal lifestyle. Same with Judd Apatow.

My question is literally just how did he stay so long on air being a literal drug addict who couldn’t perform at his job?

If you showed up to your job strung out with a big plate of food and did no work you would get fired on the spot. If you tried assaulting a coworker you would go to jail.

So seriously, how did he last so long? Someone pls answer..
Someone please shut off Sue’s mic.

What work was he supposed to do you dumb fuck? All he did was make inane comments/jokes on the air from day 1...
Haha! tell him, babe
Yes. And he couldn’t even do that half the time because he was so fucked up. So he wasn’t doing his work.
if you write that down & say it, does it make sense? (it kinda does after I read it back, but NO!)

Less than one month later Artie would miss work and come back with a giant gash on his face claiming he walked into a medicine cabinet or something ridiculous instead of the truth being that he got into a drug related assault.
LOL his excuses were always so obviously fake and retarded. Walked into a cabinet, punched by bookies, snorted ground glass on accident, each one gayer and more ridiculous than the last.

Nigga he was nodding off on air. Was it funny or good when Norton was writing his stupid faggot book on air and not contributing? Or leaving early for comedy shows? Or sleeping for the first 30 minutes of the show?

You’re a retard. He carried the show for like 8 years. Only one who would mock Stern for talking about Dancing with the Stars.

dunno how to answer, but it's his 'funny' stories where he recants being a total sleepy-idiot, I dunno if that's him at his best, but he recalls that as hiss best moments

Being a literal on air junkie, and all.

It seems that in those last years all he did was show up with some Steve C level plate of food (big ass tupperware of lasagna and 2 burgers) and just eat on air and not contribute. Then he’d lay on the floor or nod off. Even after attempting to assault an employee he faced no reprecussions.

Legitimately how? Did corporate not notice or care? Give him too many chances? Help.
He was Hilarious when he hosted Artie And Anthony

Artie from 2003-2006 is generally considered to be nearly as good as the best Jackie and Billy West years. He carried Stern into satellite radio by himself essentially. He was the only thing on Stern that was remotely listenable and tolerable.

The Stern show made him. He was a third rate middle. He SUCKED on MadTV. He SUCKED on the Norm Show. Beer League sucked. It's terrible. It flopped. It made 250 grand - I could SHIT that out my ASS.
