New York, NY – Comedian Artie Lange, 58, known for his appearances on the Howard Stern Show and Mad TV, has resurfaced in a recent photo on X, showcasing what appears to be a reconstructed nose.

Lange has been open about his past struggles with substance abuse, which he has humorously attributed to the damage to his nose. In a September video shared on YouTube, he joked about his nose being a casualty of “cocaine” while also announcing he was “eight months clean and sober” at the time. He also mentioned his intention to get a rhinoplasty to fix the “depressed nose.”
Lange’s history with substance abuse has been well-documented, including a harrowing anecdote he shared about accidentally snorting glass while using OxyContin. He recounted the incident, offering a cautionary tale against drug use.
The photo has sparked both curiosity and well wishes from fans, many of whom are hoping to see Lange continue on his path to recovery and return to comedy.
