Don Imus on Letterman, 1991 and 1994

[@simonpetrus1981]

I WILL miss Don Imus😢. He was one of my FAVORITE personalities on radio and TV.

[@YRFKDM8]

In both of these segments its heart warming to see Dave's facial expressions as he hangs onto every word. Don says with excitement They were truly two friends.

[@miccal99]

He was a pretty lousy person, but was also one of the funniest people out there.

[@JeffWiersma]

I love how these 2 legends make each other heartily laugh

[@justindungan4419]

Imus is the Morning! Quack Quack!

[@somejackball]

man i miss that show! late 90s wasn't it? he's first thing i turned on every morning, then in the afternoon i'd tune into Phil Hendrie. or sometimes Rushbaugh. good old days of radio and radio on TV ☮

[@NevadaBoss]

"There goes the Last DJ, who played what he wanted to play, and said what he wanted to say..." T Petty, Last DJ. A true American original. Thanks, Don, great post as always..

[@jabarithomas7290]

NevadaBoss you meant to say instead WHITE SUPREMACIST.

@@jabarithomas7290 If you were a regular listener to the Imus In The Morning Program, you'd know that Don Imus played Martin Luther King Jr's "I have a dream" speech every year on the date of Dr. King's death.

[@sheiladaniels9552]

I miss hearing him on the radio.

[@Dueville7777]

he is on the radio, he changed his name to Howard Stern

[@kevinmccaffrey2214]

I missed that man every day

[@bsottile]

I discovered I-Man in 1992 driving to NY and found 66am. Loved Larry Kenney and 'Bill from White Plains' aka Mike Breen.

[@adamf34]

They remind me a whole lot of each other.

[@markgiardina1303]

Imus actually came across as a nice guy during his visits with Letterman

[@richeaton7436]

"He wants to eat and get babes" RIP Iman and Fred. Thanks

He was a racist asshole. Radio is better now

Wow had no clue that he had died 😕

When Don was Good..He was GREAT!!

[@sandratessem9980]

RIP Don Imus

[@dianneschoenberg4681]

When the scales of judgement are balanced, I’m quite certain Imus relieved more suffering and sparked more joy than he contributed to the suffering. Before the haters judge, perhaps they should consider where they are themselves on the scale!

Imus was the GOAT

[@SirMixALotRareMusic]

Great rendition of Steam by Peter Gabriel during the 1994 commercial break by the band.

[@jhpvids]

Great interview. Funny

[@tedgegi155]

Notice the difference in Letterman's reaction to interviewing Imus and Stern; laughs it up with the former, stoic with the latter. Quite the dichotomy.

[@MrKlemps]

What a talent--so funny and intelligent--and how sad that in late career and late life he turned into a bitter, not funny, right-wing Trumper. But from, say, 1990 through 1998, the Imus in the Morning Program was the best satirical operation in American entertainment since the Sid Caesar gang.

[@AndrewVOdom]

@@MrKlemps Funny: he was anti-Trump after he ran in 2016 & regularly called him a nasty name to the end , to his discredit.

[@MrWinky69]

Don Imus - Around The Dial. RIP

That's the most I have laughed at Late Night Television in years.

[@billhill4929]

I miss Imus!!!!!!

[@crazyjoedavola5430]

I miss Imus in 2024

[@Composingstick]

Never realized, Don has a kinda Hunter Thompson thing going on with the way he talks.

[@equalopportunityoffender4290]

I miss the Iman!

[@jbjjones767]

Howard stern was probably so pissed that imus did letterman

[@timburr4453]

Late Night TV just isn't the same. This is hilarious

[@PJxBuchwild]

It's too political, they focus on a message over the comedy

[@ericchapman5975]

One of the best

[@brocktonma.1816]

Imus killed it here.

[@planb192]

Can you find the clips of Joe Biden on Imus

[@dongiller]

I don’t have them.

[@erickziglar7967]

Do you have the Howard stern appearance after this where he said it would be his last appearance because he had Imus on?

[@dongiller]

I’ll get to Stern, Part 2 next year.

[@jameshoran8]

@@dongiller I just saw the video for the first time this morning. Don, Fred and Bernie are gone. I believe Charles is still alive. No one would ever dare to do what he did at The Correspondents Dinner in 96 when he went after the Clintons (who were both there) and everyone else. He even described it as a train wreck and that some of the most putrid jokes that night were written by Charles and Bernie.

[@jeffdawson2786]

He was from a different time, like Dr. Demento. That kind of radio voice is extinct, very aware of itself, and sarcastic. Gary Owens was my hero. He had a warmth alongside his weirdness. Imus was snarky, and ultimately a mean person.

[@jimgarrison7340]

Imus would have been happier staying on the booze and coke.

[@KB-sv7fm]

Didn’t Imus do a lot for kids with cancer ?

[@krisscanlon4051]

Two radio guys 😊

[@paulconway8481]

He so reminds me of a sober Hunter S Thompson!!

[@popculturedad8128]

Paul Conway one could imagine a conversation between the two of them

[@paulconway8481]

PopCultureMoron I know, right?

[@charleswinokoor6023]

Imus was entertaining in those days.

[@Eggmanontheair]

one wonders why, in the '94 appearance, he's not wearing a lapel mic.

[@timburr4453]

Maybe there's some kind of mic elsewhere close by

[@thortessem271]

RIP Don.

[@melissaa2481]

He still looked the same after all those yrs

[@alevine1951]

Wish Sue Lyon had been on the show. :(

[@gregwhitsel5052]

He makes Stern look like a child!

[@jbjjones767]

Stern was seething at lettermans gushing over imus

[@IPULCOLUMBIA]

Hey look it’s what Howard Stern has become!!!

[@jimgarrison7340]

Aha. The era of men wearing tennis shoes, jeans, tie and jacket. The ultimate schizophrenic dress ensemble. Glad that look burned out.

[@timburr4453]

and there's been even more nonsensical combos before and after

[@williamkroth9429]

I tried but never found him at all funny. Bur RIP.

[@pattysherwood7091]

I couldn’t listen to his program. He upset me a lot.

[@JK-br1mu]

Imus dressed like kind of an awkward nerd.

[@samferrer]

Oh ... now l get Howard Stern ...

[@4orrcountry]

Eff Stern. Not clever, just cheap, tawdry, smutty.

[@funkster007]

Actually, now I get Imus. Stern's a troll.
