The old fella in the cowboy hat....
He was a classic!!!
Rest In Peace
He is in hell
I'll bet you that no broadcaster will mention Imus' brilliant satire from the 1970s and early1980s. All pre-Stern, pre-TV and pre-Internet. That's the Imus I know and respect.
RIP Imus! I remember riding around with my Dad as a child listening to the old radio show, and then waking up to go to middle school and high school with his tv shows playing almost every morning.
I'm so sorry to hear that!!
@Josef Daniel,
Who, Bill Clinton?
@Josef Daniel stop pretending your Egyptian and come to your senses
Wow! I just can't believe all the haters out here. Be careful what you wish for and be careful how you judge other human beings. We are not perfect, any of us. But this man has left a legacy whether you could stand him or not.
@Vera Worley WELL SAID
R.I.P. DON
Nobody cares anymore that you occasionally insulted people. They probably had it coming. We loved the fact that you were real. God bless your soul, Don Imus.
You got that right, Chris. Nobody today understands satire.
RIP Mr. Imus! You gave so much to the children! God bless
He made some enemies by speaking the truth but most loved him for it
🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕 IMUS, DEAD.
Triggered those snowflakes like few could or can!
@Martin Dennis Aww little marty went and got himself all kinds of triggered. Was your mommy around to 'cancel' out your temper tantrum? Lol.
@Martin Dennis Like you give a rat's a**. Lol. Your virtue signaling is hilarious.
Y’all don’t know truth from bull crap, bigotry, and stupid.
R.I.P Don...always controversial...I always loved him...spoke the true
@Jose Caballero lmao
Wow, reporters were offended by slighting a President? Who would have known!
Wow Imus sounds just like Mitch McConnell!
Jenny Martinez you mean republiKKKan
Yeah, they think that only they are allowed to criticize a president, and they only criticize a Republican president.
He opened up ppls eyes to the dim corruption.
Remember who is in CONTROL of the Media? They have been Exposed just think if the media or anyone spoke out against BUSH, CLINTON or OBAMA they were Blacklisted or Fired immediately or worse. Thank GOD for a Man like TRUMP! R.I.P. Don Imus a Man who spoke his mind and spoke from his heart. America needs more Men and fewer Sissies.
Don Imus was a true shock radio legend...Loved driving into work with him on the radio...R.I.P Imus
He's in hell now
Whatever granpa..
Imus was a racist
Ended up stealing the act of someone else.
@@mattkelly9000
Was he really? I meet more average Americans, on a daily basis, that show more blatant hate and racism then he showed over one remark.
R.I.P. Imus. Your feud with Howard Stern provided me with endless hours of entertainment, usually at your expense. At the end of the day, you were a decent man. God bless your family.
Well said. 👍🏻
Stern is an idiot
And now Howard has become Imus
@@pip12111 Sad but true
2:15 That's ok because Bill and Hilary have insulted many of us for many years.
We'll miss you I-Man..
RIP Imus..... You never fell for the political correctness nonsense.. Glad you stayed true to yourself.
Awww, the memories. Charles' meltdowns, Bernie's impersonations of the Cardinals of New York, Bartlett and McKinney doing their skits. Some comedy gold there, folks.
A favorite of mine! Don Imus! I own a cookbook written by Deirdre... I will cherish it. Prayers for his wife, son and family ❤️. Hope he hooks up with his brother Fred.
The two of them I picture riding around in that old pickup his brother loved.
John Deegan Dont tell me what to do!
Loved him in the late 60's when he was in Cleveland.
That's how I knew him and first heard of him. He was very popular then as a DJ. Seemed pretty good at it. 1968.
🎶Imus in the morning! 🎶
Why did you NOT MENTION he served honorably in the USMC?
Now he’s up there with those nappy headed angels.
And those cute Tennessee angels.
I loved how outspoken and honest he was. RIP Don
Yes glad he’s in hell now 😂😂
Was he honest? I always thought he was mean and selfish, less about being honest.
@@erichvonmolder9310 I saw honesty and outspokenness, not meanness. Everyone is entitled to how they feel thou. I'm 63 and enjoyed his radio program for a long long time.
@@Hamigal , I used too watched his show in the morning before I went to work, but I saw meanness and narcissism. He knew how to play the game and did it well making him a multimillionaire. Interestingly, I listened to Stern on the radio and not Imus.
@@erichvonmolder9310 Yeah I was never a Stern fan and did not listen to him. So I guess we can just agree to disagree. Probably a big age difference between us also. Anyway they both gained tremendous financial gain from their obnoxious mouths and outspoken opinions so what's the diff on that?
He was soooo shocking. I used to listen to him a bit when I lived in Connecticut.
Pam Bennett , I am also from Connecticut, my mom would listen to him in the 60s every morning
Ok boomer
@@vincediesel307 yeah, not the 60s. 1976:-)
You can't be serious!! Lol!!
@@cutterdriftwood6383 why???
Almost fired for insulting President of America. They praise you nowadays. As a nation we have fogoten all our core values and especially RESPECT for one another.
I liked Imus!!!
. You'll always be the man. Imus, never afraid to tell the powers that be to get bent.
As far as we can tell.
"James Carville, he looks like the banjo player from Deliverance."
You are being kind.
weelgunny my god - weeee - weeee/
Lol that was one ugly guy
Paddle faster!
Hillbillys
I remember when Imus was on VH-1 in the mid 80's and he used to have the funniest comments about some of the video's; "And now, a video by Michael Jackson, though I don't know why anyone would care or want to watch..." hahaha
RIP Imus, many of us loved you and will miss you.....
I love him.... brought so much laughter to my family growing up.

❤️👆🤠
Oh he's resting all right. In peace? Doubt it
The Rutgers women’s basketball team has not performed well since their 2007 runner up finish.
Love him or hate him, he was one of the Best interviewers of people of interest, always asking questions people wanted answered. R.I.P.
Loved him! 💜
Sad. God comfort and strengthen Mr. Imus's family.
RIP Imus. Sending sympathy and prayers to his family and friends.
😂😂😂😂

Dude is a legend. Total badass.
My father always had him on, I think, Saturdays. Imus in the morning. RIP
Rot in pieces
Burn in hell

Imus is gone, but his ranch and his legend live on

Ranch was sold at auction a few years ago.

Never afraid to speak his mind....RIP Don
1307scooter , yes and nobody should. People should learn to think deeper and learn to take a joke
1307scooter looking up at us now bless his heart
Rot In Pieces ya wig wearing fucktard!!
@@jesusenki8509 Scream at the sky and then run to your Safe Space.
@@rodneyfoster9719 Why? Imus went DOWNSTAIRS
Loved Imus!
We will be seeing a LOT more people like him who aren’t afraid to speak their mind. Like it or not. That’s what makes this country. People with many views. The main thing is not to be AFRAID to speak your mind. To say “we embrace people of all walks of life” but oppose those that don’t think like you is as hypocritical as it gets. You better get used to people that don’t think like you and WILL speak their mind without fear of backlash. The pendulum is finally swinging the other way. You better get used to it snowflakes. Political correctness is on its way out!
R i p Imus. Definitely went by the beat of his own drum... thanks for the laughs
~Prayers for the family~
the first time i heard the term nappy hair, it was from my black sorority sisters. imus's downfall from the obnoxious spoiled fragile left mob was the beginning of all the PC ridiculousness.
Such a great man who will be missed very much.
Yea ur right in hell?
@KER PLUNK never heard him talk about Mr. Trump but he is gone now so let him rest in peace .
Like him or hate him, he always spoke his mind. We won't see another like him on broadcast media again. RIP.
Lol he copied Howard stern
@@dg8676
Don Imus wasn't influenced by anyone other than himself. He was abrupt, harsh, tough to work, and a one-of-a-kind. He always did what he said he was going to do. There will never be another Don Imus.
And his hair is immortal.
Idk if you realize how genius your comment is...here's to you!
🥂🍾🎉💯🔮🕊
RIP Imus. Fly high! 💛❤️💛🤍💞💓
RIP Don Imus. You would be sadly missed.
Don Imus: "I don't care if my rainbow freezes, as long as I have my plastic Jesus riding on the dashboard of my car, I can go 100 miles an hour as long as I got the all mighty power glued up there with my pair of fuzzy dice". Every morning I would hear that on my way to work and every time I could not stop laughing.
Rest in Peace brother.
A true original. R.I.P.
Now Imus knows all the answers to the many questions he posed to us over the years & to those he didn't!!
Imus made many work mornings bearable. You gave your fans, families & struggling children wonderful memories. Our thought are with all your loved ones who are mourning their loss today.
Hey, Imus...........Thanks. You never wasted a minute of my time.
Amen, Paul. Same here.
I wonder what Howard will have to say about Imus when he gets back from vaca.
Hollywood Howie will be Gracious and offer up kind words while also noting their rivalry .
You beat me too it. Howard hated Imus but Howard is more civilized in his old age
I wish Howard won NY Governor years ago
@@jasonmatthew9194 Should have been Trump's VP
Nothing shocking. Howard castrated himself more than a decade ago.
Thanks Don, you made us laugh, cry and think. Isn’t that a perfect day
As a big fan he is missed every morning .
Love him or hate him, you always knew where you stood because he was a man that spoke his mind and wore his heart on his sleeve. Condolences to his family and friends.
He was a good man!
Genius that defies criticism. Here's to a happy reunion with brother Fred in the afterlife. Rest in peace I-man, you are loved and missed-
Rest in Peace Mr. Imus. A lot of People did not understand him, and like others and myself often wound up with "Hoof and Foot Disease". He was right on with a lot of his "Weasels" Today their true colors have been exposed, they are working for the United Nations. We Loved Ya Don! A man with Real Guts!
Rest in peace Mr. Imus, thank you for the good you've done.
Condolences to the family and friends.
THE ONLY I SAID ONLY REASON I EVER WATCHED MSNBC ! RIP IMAN
He's no Stern, but definite radio icon.
Or Benny
Or burns
Or Lucille Ball
Or Abbot or Costello
But he is Imus and there will be no other
For his time, he was "Stern".
Erek Noogine better than stern
Oh yeah, he was way better!!
Stern is a garbage human being....have some respect for real people.
Rest in Peace Don Imus!
A true Patriot!
A true Cowboy!
A great radio personality!
A good family man!
A charitable man!
An honest man!
A humble man!
A real Journalist!
I pray Imus is with Jesus. Holy Spirit comfort his wife, family, and friends! Rest in peace, Don Imus
He lived his truth....REST IN PEACE.......Hopefully he is sharing his humor in Heaven
I feel like I grew up listening to him..
In some ways, he was the first victim (that I can recall) of the modern Cancel Culture. And he was a life-long Democrat.
Yeah. Him and Dice Clay
Evgeni Ptolemy , yes, yes, very true.
I grew up listening to Imus in the morning since it started on WNBC in 1971. Don Imus is the greatest radio personality of all time!
I used to love listening to Imus on MSNBC, before it became such a radical network, and his back and forth with sidekick, Charles McCord. He was a great interviewer and would call it like he saw it, much like President Trump, who was one of his regular guests. Imus also had a tender heart toward the suffering of others. Condolences to his family.
Don was the most talented man in Radio History period
howard stern made imus look like a spoiled fragile punk in the minor leagues.
I guess I'm listening to Howard Stern today.
I completely forgot about him until I heard he passed away
RIP IMUS
He made me laugh many a morning 🙏👍👍🇺🇸
Me, too. Brilliant guy. Misunderstood.
Awww so sad to here he died r.i.p Don raise hell in heaven my friend 😞😞😞
RIP Mr. Imus! Long live your memory!
The ranch for kids must have been a good thing.
RIP you didn’t know me from Adam, but man I looked forward to you every morning!!
Thanx Don R.I.P.
Nobody that matters will miss imus.
Rest in Peace Don, you were a voice of the people and pointed out many issues despite of the controversy.
😭😭😭. Going to miss him may he rest in peace. God bless his family
Many hours of laughter listening to Imus on the radio then TV! RIP cowboy.
Legend
R.I.P.
Imus definitely didn't go along with Political Correctness, and that's what FREE SPEECH is all about! May you R I P Don.
RIP MR.IMUS
I can't imagine Imus lying quietly in a coffin.
Who else clicked on this video to see how many comments contained "Nappy Headed Hoes" ?
Sick of pc police calling him racist. As someone who watch imus in the morning for years I can tell you that kinda way he went after everyone in his comedy.
Imus.... was A+ Class Act.... RIP....!
RIP🙏🏻
I hope that he died at peace. May God be with his family.
My sympathy goes out to his family boy I remember him and always entertaining he was one of the first ones ever to just say what he wanted to say it may have shocked everybody but it sure was entertaining
Rest easy my friend. You were a role model for people who had alcohol problems like myself. To get sober, and never look back after all the years of drinking is a God given miracle. You were blessed my brother. I know you're in a greater place. Love you
RIP ...He was a legend.
When Don's voice came on over the radio, we who loved him immediately felt better about life and ourselves and had our faith in the possibility of humor and laughter restored. He seemed to me to be a wonderful "everyman" for us. Dear God, have mercy on his soul & ours.
That’s nothing... my Canadian prime minister has done black-face, neck, and hands and the leftists still voted him back in a few weeks ago.
cherry-pickin’ leftists
just sayin’
Edit: prove me wrong... you can’t.
He'll be missed by me as well as others.
