Since returning from drug rehab in September, comedian Artie Lange has launched a comeback, steadily performing stand-up shows in the Northeast while planning his new podcast.

Lange, 52, announced Monday on Twitter that the podcast, “Artie Lange’s Halfway House,” will premiere Dec. 2.

Comedian Mike Bocchetti, who served as an announcer on Lange’s former podcast, “The Artie Lange Show,” will be his co-host on “Halfway House.”

The podcast’s name may resonate with Lange fans. In May, he was arrested for noncompliance with his drug court program at the Clinton halfway house where he was living. He spent 21 days in Essex County Jail before he was transferred to a new program.

Lange, best known for his eight-year tenure as a sidekick on the “The Howard Stern Show," also had a recurring role for three seasons on the Judd Apatow-produced HBO series “Crashing,” starring Pete Holmes (the series was canceled this year).

The comedian, who grew up in Union Township and lives in Hoboken, has struggled for decades with drug addiction.

Lange last appeared on Compound Media’s (audio and video) podcast “The Artie and Anthony Show" with Anthony Cumia. Lange was asked to leave the show because of his frequent absences in 2018, shortly before he was sentenced to four years of probation for heroin possession.

In 2017, State Police pulled Lange over on the Garden State Parkway and reported finding him with 81 decks of heroin, including a bag of heroin in his lap with a straw.

Lange spent several days at Essex County Jail in January and February 2018, after testing positive for cocaine for the second time in less than two months, in violation of his probation.

Lange says he has also been working on a 2020 tour.
