In November 1995, after nine episodes had been shot, Lange endeavored self destruction in the wake of running out of cocaine, drank bourbon, and pills. He was found by his Distraught television co-stars and taken to escalated care.
Lange got back to New Jersey to finish a recovery and guiding project, reviewing another 45-minute stand set and utilizing his notoriety to feature spots in satire clubs around New York City. In January 1996, Lange got back to Los Angeles to film the leftover episodes of the primary season, with maker Quincy Jones supporting him during recovery. He got back to shape in his work, positioning his exhibition in these episodes as “the best I’ve at any point finished in sketch satire”.
In 1996, Lange got his most memorable significant acting job for a free film named Manikin, featuring Rebecca Gayheart and Fred Weller.

Lange appeared in the second season of Macdonald’s sitcom The Norm Show in 1999, as Macdonald’s half brother, Artie. Lange remained with the show until its cancelation in 2001, following three seasons. He had a period of wealth at this time, earning $35,000 each episode for a show with “ridiculously lame, easy jokes,” enjoyed working with his castmates, and lived in a $4,000-a-month condo in Beverly Hills. “Even with that life,” Lange explained, “creatively I was empty inside.” During a 2014 interview with Marc Maron, Lange stated that his creative dissatisfaction prompted him to perform more stand-up comedy, where he “came into his own as a comedian” by including more “dark,” edgy stuff into his show.
After The Norm Show concluded in April 2001, Lange returned to New Jersey and appeared on many shows from May to October. Lange believed he squandered his opportunity when he realized the jokes he was creating for Stern were failing.
