Captain Janks addicted to not showing up

Stern Wack Packer Being Sued
New York – May 22, 2009: Howard Stern Wack Packer Thomas "Captain Janks" Cipriano is being sued by more than one bar, restaurant and club in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware for accepting payment for appearances and then not showing up to make those appearances. The Captain’s claim to infamy are his prank phone calls to TV newscasters following various air crashes and other national tragedies, then mentioning the Stern show and/or shouting "Baba Booey" over the CNN, MSNBC and ABC airwaves.

Janks recently explained the situation to Stern and his audience, blaming his no-shows on "struggles with addiction."

According to Examiner.com, former "MadTV" cast member, best-selling book author and current Stern sidekick Artie Lange may be enabling Janks via an act of kindness. The star of "Beer League" has agreed to help out the Captain by performing a benefit comedy show to raise money to pay restitution to those suing Janks.
