 | Spike65 (13) 07/18/2008 | A pompous, mean-spirited, and boring host. Good riddance.

 | irishgit (146) 04/13/2007 | I only ever listened to it a couple of times. I can't stand talk radio, and I especially can't stand sports talk radio.
I can get better sports commentary sitting at a table in my local pub, and more coherent too.
I've commented elsewhere about the Imus firing, and I won't repeat myself here.
I certainly won't miss him, but that's got zero to do with the recent events.
There isn't a talk radio personality that I would piss on if they were on fire.

 | GenghisTheHun (173) 04/13/2007 | I was not a frequent listener to Imus, at least lately. We must remember that corporate management is a gaggle of spinless baby-boomers who are trying to be trendy and hip.
Wait for much more censorship in the future, folks.

 | CanadaSucks (48) 04/13/2007 | Imus' show has sucked for years. . .but he deserved a suspension and not being fired. . .double-standards are definitely at work here. . .but repubs yelling 'political correctness' are forgetting that nothing but good old fashioned American capitalism sacked Imus- if Imus had ratings (which he hasn't for years) then the company would have found a way to keep him. . .if you are offensive but bring in advertising $ you stay employed, if you are offensive but can hit a 98 mph fastball you stay employed. . .the second the advertisers pulled the cash it was lights out. . .the company used PC as a sheild to hide an issue that is far more important in America: the bottom line. Still, there is no avoiding the uncomfortable truth that if he was African-American the punishment would have been less severe or non-existant.

 | EschewObfuscation (65) 04/12/2007 |  This show is inconsistently funny. It is offensive to someone every day. Every day. For MSNBC to suspend Imus for two weeks, then to fire him, claiming to be sympathetic to their employees' sensibilities and the criticism of many listeners is simply untruthful. This is, and always would be, a business decision. Why is that so hard to admit? Isn't it more cowardly to hide behind the skirts and jackets of your employees?
This incident is censorship. Not by the government, much as the "Reverend" Al Sharpton would have liked to bring about. This is corporate censorship. Are you sure you are ok with the sponsors deciding what you can listen to? Are you sure? Who is safe now? You can say this always happens, but we've never had such a clear example of it before. Imus is gone, not because he can't or doesn't attract listeners or viewers. He's gone due to the white guilt of the media regarding racism, whether or not the comment really contained any racism, many of whom yukked it up with him many times on his show. This is a truly sad day for America.
No member of the media has the balls to call this by its right name. This is not about racial intolerance, it's not about how many people are complaining or are offended, it is certainly not about the women of the Rutgers basketball team and it is not about cleaning up the airwaves owned by the American people. This is corporate censorship. Period.

 | fluffytuffy (2) 12/05/2006 |  Bad, the only reason I give it 2 stars instead of one is that Imus CAN ask some great questions in his interviews, not the usual cloying, suck up stuff reporters usually ask, he can really put someone on the spot if they are not answering the questions.
But his misogynistic attitude towards women, and his hatred of fat people (especially when his bratty son is such a porker) and his TOTALLY creepy and distasteful crew, especially that ugly bald bernie, just is creepy, I can't stand those supposed "comics" that come in and pretend they are someone else--I guess he has them on now as most of his former guests probably won't come back now due to his uncalled for blow up with Contessa Brewer. I can't believe how they talk about women and their looks, as NONE of the men on the Imus show are anywhere NEAR attractive, if they even ranked a 2 on a 1-10 scale it would be kind, and Imus himself is a very, very unattractive man!
And he has that dirty, overstuffed sausage, greasy looking Bo Dietl who just rants and raves like an idiot, the show is not very good at all, the fact that MSNBC keeps it on is an embarassment and I have stopped watching the channel mostly due to their "new" programming ideas towards sleaze rather than news.

 | savannah56 (0) 04/15/2006 | Imus is really past his expiration date at MSNBC. His morning show consists of hawking his cheap Imus products, salsa and home cleaning products, making fun of media types and of course forever dropping names of media types to prove what an insider his thinks he truly is.
Add to this nonsense is of course the ridiculous cowboy outfit complete with denim jacket and moronic shades. Imus likes to think of himself as asome type of modern day rebel but sadly comes across as one who is losing his grip on things and comes across as simply irrascible and miserable. Its beyond me how he gets his guests to come on this travesty.

 | Gaylord Wright (0) 02/16/2006 | At least Imus can get my day started with a laugh. Sure beats a groan that 'the three stooges' on Fox would render.

 | ellis (2) 08/15/2005 | Shouldn't even be a TV News program anymore. Sure, Imus is funny, but you can't harass someone like Contessa Brewer like that and hope to get away with it. He's lucky he didn't ruin her career. That kind of stuff isn't always easy to forget.

 | tdubya71 (0) 07/26/2004 | Go back to radio only, Imus. Fox & Friends and American Morning are beating his ugly butt and isn't helping the rest of MSNBC's ratings.

 | wiley1827 (0) 06/14/2004 | Phenomenal dip. Truly a waste of electrons and life. Watching some dork in cowboy hat pretend to be bright is painfull. He'd be great in a bar if I was half smashed - but he teaches nothing and stimulate zero thinking.

 | Fresnopip (0) 04/28/2004 | Pretty good show. He has top notch guests like John Kerry and Larry King. George W. Bush is still too afraid to do public interviews but if I was him I would be scared also.

 | Moosekarloff (18) 06/25/2003 |  Imus was never funny, going back to the "10,000 hamburgers to go" schtick of the 1960s. Now, the boring old rightwing fart, having had his cocaine and vodka taken away from him, feels its OK to vent his displeasure with the world, his racism, homophobia and misogyny with impunity, all under the feeble disguise of "comedy." Not only is his program totally lacking in humor, it's also quite lowbrow, immature, simplistic, reductive, mean-spirited, out-of-touch, out-of-date, misleading, misinformed and poisoned by the mutant political ideology that seems to have taken over the airwaves. His hangeroners are moronic and also unfunny (McCord, that no-talent, sanctimonious, judgmental born-again Unchristian is the most pukesome of the lot), and serve the sole purpose of laughing at the lame and stupidass attempts at jokes made during this exercise in verbal flatulence. I can see how that program appeals to the idiot constituency out there in the primitive boondocks, but anyone with any intelligence, discerning and sophistication would avoid this like the plague. Imus is an anus.

 | Seryano (0) 05/01/2003 | Don Imus used to funny. Now he has surrounded himself with paid laugh men. He ignores his audience. He has nothing but negative to say about everybody mentioned on the program. I cannot understand why he is still on the air. There has to be someone out there who has real talent who would entertain a national audience much better than Imus!

 | Mario500 (0) 12/04/2002 | MSNBC broadcasting this radio talk show has compleatly destroyed it. Imus or any other morning show that airs in radio are never to be simulcast on tv at all. It just makes the show boring to watch or even listen to. A complete disgrace to all radio!

 | 747BraniffPlace (0) 11/30/2002 | After listening to Imus on the radio, I saw part of it on TV for a couple of days when I was on vacation. Watching Imus speak and Rob Bartlett do his characters is just not as entertaining, nor as enlightening as listening to them on the radio, where you use your imagination and create the scenes in your head. With television, all of that is gone (they were at the Imus ranch in New Mexico, which basically looked like a radio studio with a Southwestern-style throw in the background).
Even though I think the Imus radio program may have seen better days, it is superior to anything that Imus and company do on MSNBC. Give me Imus, Rob Bartlett, Larry Kenney (and all their characters) on the radio program anyday!!!
