Imus on Primetime Live 1991

Howard Stern wannabe. NBC did this report because at this point Howard Stern was kicking his ass in the ratings and this was a desperate ploy by NBC to help boost this douche bags ratings....it didnt work. From this point Imus continued to sink into irrelevance.

Amazing that this guy has been on the radio since 1968!

I didn't understand. Why was Imus fired from NBC in the 70s if he was "The guy in radio"?

[jpwjr1199]

@ericdxx He was a drunk and a coke addict - it got him fired, and then a couple of years later, he was back. Although he didn't clean up until many years later

Imus is the best interviewer. Has more insight then Chris Matthews, Tim Russert and Larry King. People he admires. He is a sponge for news and the environment around him.
