    Since taking over the Tonight Show, Jimmy Fallon has hosted hundreds of guests, ranging from accomplished musicians to upsettingly famous reality stars. Some of them have visited more often than others, a distinct honor in itself. That’s why I couldn’t imagine anyone more deserving of the record for most Fallon appearances than Artie Lange. Veteran stand-up comedian and raunchy conversationalist extraordinaire, Artie is known for his long and hilarity packed
