Over the weekend, we learned that Crashing star and comedian Artie Lange questioned his job prospects after a recent drug arrest.
Now, Lange claims that HBO officially fired him from the Pete Holmes comedy, though both network reps and producer Judd Apatow curiously deny it.
On its own, that might not have been a terribly surprising choice for HBO, though both the network and Crashing executive producer Judd Apatow completely deny said firing: HBO has not fired Artie Lange.
Lange was arrested two weeks ago for possession of cocaine, heroin, and drug paraphernalia, but subsequently released.
