Of course Howard doesn't want to discuss it on air. He's a shock jock, not an HR director...
They've discussed it ad nauseam. It won't bring it to a conclusion.
From my understanding of Thursday's show, Artie said he was going to try JUST doing the show and cutting out the weekend gigs, which is EXACTLY what he needs to do. If he's not wiping himself out on the weekends, he'll have more energy for the show. Artie knows and even said that the show takes precedent over the stand-up. He knows his standup is hot because of the show, that he won't have the same effect if he leaves.
Hopefully this will be the turn-around he needs. Yeah, so I'm as gullible and naive as Howard, what's your point?:clueless:
