Imus on MSNBC every weekday morning....

[Eric J in MN]

..for 3 hours.

Does that make business sense?

Anyone know what kind of ratings he gets on MSNBC?

[valerief]

1. It's a conspiracy to get us to not watch TV. I mean, Imus is certainly

no draw, and MSNBC must know it.

[RevCheesehead]

2. I think it's a brilliant move....

for CNN and FAUX.

5. And the motive? NT

[Catherine Vincent]

3. I don't understand why.

Surely he doesn't get good ratings.

[blue cat]

4. It's like they have given up

trying for good rating.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

6. The only dead guy with his own TV show.

[Kahuna]

7. Don't forget Larry King. He has a show too.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

10. Larry King is a teenager compared to Don "Compost" Imus.

Dead & Proud of It!

[Eric J in MN]

11. But Larry King's show is an hour and it gets good ratings....

...and Larry King has guests in the studio.

Imus' guests are on the phone and lasts 3 hours. Does Imus' show get good ratings?

[la la]

15. hey, hey, hey!!!!!

Donnie and I were born on the same day, in the same year--and I ain't dead yet. ;>

I look a lot better than him, though ----must be my genes are better. And my politics. And my mind.

heh heh heh

[A-Schwarzenegger]

16. It's not years makes him old, it's the rot in the soul.

[Mika]

8. He calls Hillary "satan", so his show will be a fixture. n/t

[YDogg]

9. Exactly. And he will continue to shill for Lieberman ...

[Joe Bacon]

12. He got "0" ratings in Los Angeles when he was up against Stern.

Imus is as phony as his toupeé

[A-Schwarzenegger]

13. He gets 0 ratings when he's up against the guy selling toupee-in-a-can.

14. When IMUS first went on TV his sidekick Bernie asked: "Why don't people...

...just put a prune on top of their radio and watch that."

I haven't listened to Imus in several years but I thought that was funny.

[TreasonousBastard]

17. I imagine he's got one hell of a contract....

since when WNBC became WFAN and was all-sports 24 hours a day, Imus stayed on in the morning drive-time. That was the NYC flagship NBC station-- his home base.

He's been on and off MSNBC over the years, and I gotta say that it makes the dreary radio show even drearier watching those guys kiss his dead ass. Imus was once a pretty funny guy, and I'm not sure whether his stopping drinking made him a putz, or the brazillion dead brain cells from when he was putting away a couple of quarts a day.

Oh, he's off the nose candy, too. And still not funny any more.

18. Anyone seen Imus' TV ratings? NT
