After Imus was silenced, his producer was ripped from the radio too! Bernard McGuirk, the man behind Imus, tells his story - from 'FOXNEWS HANNITY & COLMES'
The kabuki theater “outrage” over such locker room / trash talk (aka “gotcha”) is pathetic even years later. RIP, Bernie- true man of the streets and not at all a hater.
No actually you might not know this because of a late switch to WFAN at Shea Stadium, the last voice was Roger Grimsby saying “You heard the countdown, it’s over”
I don't think it was a big deal. I think the "nappy-headed ho" comment was funny as hell. It's a shame that this got Imus fired. Bernie and Imus were funny as hell. It's too bad the PC police ruined the day...
@IBOGAINE1 What Imus said was kind of funny and not very offensive, but his sponsors and racists like Al Sharpton put the heat on him to apologize. And in order to keep his cushy job, Imus did what any of us would have done by saying we were sorry.
I was a big fan of Imus until he got fired, then made the ultimate sell out and went to WABC. What he said was going pretty low. He'd been testing the waters for years, and finally went over the line. Unfortunately his show has never recovered.
Bernard Is Wrong On All Levels,I Know That’s An Edgy Show With Blue Humor,However He And Imus Stepped So Far Beyond The Line,There Had To Be The Most Severe Punishment Available!RIP Bernie & The I-Man.
They all went on to satellite radio to work again. And with a very lucrative contract. I wouldn't listen - But if you wanna buy it and listen in - it is your choice. But the comment was over the top . . . Benie may be able to justify what happen - But it doesn't make it right.
I dont like Imus I dont like Bernard and think their humor sucks. But for them to get fired for this bullshit is ridiculous.For all the shit that goes on and down for them to get fired over a word i think is just a joke. For Sharpton to go out there and use race for reason to get attention is bullshit. He's said many things in his past that should ruin his career. I think in todays world guys getting fired for words not actions is disgraceful, we do have the freedom.
Bernie was great (RIP) & Imus (despite his personal flaws) was a radio legend who brightened the morning of many listeners for years. The mock outrage (you are correct) is so tired & phony- especially in hind sight.
Anytime you piss of Al Sharpton you must be doing something right!
Amen!
I miss Imus in the Morning. Quack... Quack...
Made my drive to work every morning enjoyable.
I do too, loved Don, hated Howard.
@@Robizoid I still love Don... Still hate Howard... LOL
16 years ago !? The older I get, the quicker the years seem to go by.
Hannity the only one of the 3 still alive.

Bernie...... YOU will be missed 😄😄
😢
Sharpton is a sad creature. He is without shame and deserves no one's respect !!!
Absolutely correct.
Bernard was funny AF.
RIP Bernard!
Allen and Bernard debating together again 😂 Bernie is winning 😂
Do you know it’s kind of ironic that the guy interviewing Bernard is the guy who used to work with him at WNBC the last voice too the late Alan Colmes

great comedy.
Go Bernie

I watched it 'live' remembering groaning thinking it was going to bed, but not firing bad

Maybe Hashem took Bernie, the bald headed stooge, early for his racist comedy.
Justice? Yup.
Wah.
