I figured. But you don't find him literate on the show? He can be pretty well-spoken and witty when he's compelled to do so.



Absolutely. By literate I assume(d) we're talking about his ability to express himself in writing, which is hard to tell with him due to the go-between that took dictation; guess it doesn't matter. As far as wit, he's one of the best I've heard and certainly the best on that show. His story-telling is unmatched and always keeps me glued. He's also the single greatest source of genuine laughs on every show. I always laugh when self-deluded Stern actually doesn't understand why Artie is way more popular with fans than he.
