I Might be the only 1 that watches Imus on MSNBC

[teamzissou]

It is one of my weird guilty pleasures but if I'm up early just eating breakfast or hanging out I'll throw on Imus in Morning. I'm truly curious to see if anyone else on earth besides me watches him on MSNBC. I realize a lot of people listen to him on the radio in the morning. I'm to talking to you! :confused:

Isn't he like 120 years old? I heard he just met someone he fought against in WWI. :D

And no, I neither listen to or watch him.

[Jon J]

That drugs have burned up most of his brain is very evident.

[Bob_Newhart]

I Tivo it every day and will watch it from time to time. ABout a year ago I would watch it 2-3 times per week, but now maybe once a month.

Bernie is funny and so are the sidekicks who do Nicholson, Pig Feets, Clinton, etc.

No

He is sooooo old. He might have actually fought in the civil as well. I'm just confirming a suspicion that I am the only person on earth that watches Imus on MSNBC. I should say that Tivo is partly at fault because I have definitely Tivo-ed his program because I didn't feel like get up at 6am. :cool:

ha-HA...........I missed your post. Apparently I am not the only I-man fan that watches him on MSNBC every now again! He is older than dirt but sooooo damn funny especially when Sid was doing sports. :up:

Sid is back on? I thought he was banished for life.

[teamzissou]

Really????? I heard he was doing radio down in Florida or something. He is not back day to day I assume. He must just be doing a guest spot here and there. This morning the Fat Guy Chris Collins was doing sports. Although I'm intrigued do you have any details???? :eek:

He was on the radio in the bay area before but he is just too boring, I don't see how anyone could listen to his show.

[modnar]

I don't watch Imus, but I watch MSNBC over any of the other news channels.

I'm sure that Sid by himself was is pretty dry but what made him so funny was how badly he would piss off Imus. I really thought that Imus was going to have heartattack on multiple occasions when sid would push his buttons. Imus would go into an absolute verbal rampage and forget whatever he was discussing in the first place. It is not your "typical funny" situation but it always made me laugh real hard. ;)

[sieglinde]

I hear him occassionaly when they have him on MSNBC at other times and he has never said anything that really interested me.

[omnibus]

I can take Imus in small doses.

In any case it's better than listening to Stern.

[Raimi]

I'll tune in occasionally after checking out the headlines on CNN. I can't stand Fox News in the morning so that leaves MSNBC.

[nedthelab]

As proud and uninformed as you may be you are lilley the onlye one who watches that A wipe

[Royster]

Imus in the Morning? I used to listen to him when he was on the radio on WNBC-AM in NYC when I was 12.

I see he's still on that station, but they call themselves WFAN now.

660 AM in NYC hasn't been WNBC (W-NNNNNN-BC!) in eons. WFAN moved over there from 1050 sometime in the 80's. 18 years, says Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WFAN), which says it happened in October 1988.

I've never really lived in an Imus radio market. I moved into one in 1994, but the station dumped him about a year or two later, and I don't usually do morning drive radio anyway...

heh.. A Stern mention in a thread about Imus.

I'm actually slightly surprised it came from an Imus listener and not a Stern fan who wanted to rip on Imus like Howard loves to do.

[vman41]

I try from time to time, but he's almost always so grumpy I can't take too much of him. And I'm also tired of hearing about 'the ranch'. His phone interviews with political figures last longer than your typical TV spot, which is nice.

I'm tired of hearing about the ranch, too. Also, his autism cause and every other little thing he latches onto and drives into the ground ad nauseum.

I actually prefer less Imus, and more of everyone else. Bernie and the rest can be really funny. Imus is okay once in a while, but I like the sidekicks more.

It's been back and forth since the mid-80s between those two. From back when Imus did mornings and Stern did afternoons at Double-you EEEEEEEEEN BC.

Haven't you been paying attention, Omnibus loves to thread crap anything Stern, so he found another thread to take his shot....WAAAAAAAHHHHHHH I don't like Howard,, WAAAAHHHHHH and I want everyone to know. Hey dude we know, get over it and grow up.

And to answer the OP, No.

Pretty much everything I know about Imus comes from Stern (radio show, the movie, books, etc.) . I don't think he was ever available in Dallas, and all those wars at [pig vomit]W NNNNNNNNNNNNN BC[/pig vomit] were going on when it was just that station in NYC.

What's funny is that "Pig Vomit" was called "Pig Virus" in real life (i.e. on Stern's radio show at the time). He's accurately called "Pig Virus" in Private Parts, the book. For some reason, in the movie, they changed the name to "Pig Vomit," which had, prior to that, been the name of a band that used to write and record songs for the Stern show.

I don't remember it being Pig Vomit in the book. Then again, I think I only read it once, and that was a long time ago. I guess what I heard in the movie is what stuck because it's a little more recent and I have seen it multiple times.

[super dave]

There also was a band the "Double O Zeros" that recorded his opening theme on NBC.

And they are still kicking around: http://www.metalsludge.tv/home/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1264&Itemid=37

I used to wake up to Imus for a while, but since he got married, and especially had a kid and got on the ranch kick (very noble, I willingly concede), he's just not as funny.
Bernie was great (I always loved the Cardinal/Which Doesn't Belong and Why? bit) but Charles McCord's sucking up to all the guests (s/he's great/a genius blah blah blah) just bores me. The heyday for me was when Mike Breen (continuuuuuuuuuues) did sports. He was hilarious. Now he's a Knicks/NBA play-by-play guy.

Before I was a Stern listener, I was an Imus listener. I'm talking, when I was 11 and 12 in 1988 and 1989. Probably the youngest listener Imus ever had. ;)

I must say, whichdoesn'tbelongandwhy was a funny bit.
