The first edition of HBO’s “Joe Buck Live” Monday night received more publicity than it could have reasonably planned for, but for the wrong reason. Buck wanted recognition for his interview with 
Brett Favre about Favre’s plan to play if recent surgery restored his right arm’s former power. Instead, the show hit the top 10 of Google Trends because of the foul mouth of the comedian Artie Lange of Howard Stern’s Sirius radio show. Lange appeared in the final segment of “Buck Live,” along with the actor Paul Rudd and Jason Sudeikis of “Saturday Night Live.” But it became an exercise in narcissism by Lange, who capitalized on HBO’s freedom of expression to blithely demonstrate his scatological, homophobic, shock comedy.On a network that has Bill Maher hosting a weekly series, and an archive of George Carlin and Chris Rock appearances, Lange knew he could roam freely, even if he does not wield profanity with master-level sophistication. But he thinks quick and dirty and has no boundaries. He jabbered like he owned the show, knowing he was upping his nightclub fees and book sales.
