IMUS FLASHBACK - Don Imus & Charles McCord

[@bdavis7981]

18 years and it's still just as funny. My mom just loved this clip, it would play often.

[@SuperJasonGold]

thats nice

[@christopherfeeney1962]

I go back to it at least once a year😂

[@matthewfeduzi4751]

One of the most iconic moments in radio. Period.

[@WalkingRoscoe]

Classic

[@christopherfeeney1962]

Absolutely! ​@@WalkingRoscoe

[@tomy.1846]

RIP Imus. Thank you for ALL of the laughs and good times, you made driving enjoyable!

[@paulhill1632]

I miss those guys so much. Best radio ever.

[@friclastick873]

Agreed.

[@joekirk5731]

Imus funny

[@Robizoid]

I hear ya.

[@MontanaMirage]

I played this dozens of times and each time I laughed till I cried.

[@Coasterdude02149]

It never gets old 🤣

[@rbsprods3200]

Hilarious, every time. Charles does not give him a break, "waving the darn books around". Classic.

[@IlliniJake]

Charles was the brilliance behind this show. Sheer talent.

[@patrickvanmeter2922]

I watched this for years just to hear these rants from Charlie. Thank you much for the video and for the sore ab muscles from laughing.

[@kovy274hart]

I actually remember this rant! It was so hilarious I couldn’t stop laughing. Charles was a legend.

[@Jerryleexx]

I agree 100%

[@robertellis4938]

Probably the greatest moment of the I-Man. RIP John Donald Imus.

[@snakeguy76]

Funny as all hell. I remember listening to Imus at this time and he was going on and on about the Whitaker Chambers book. It seemed to go on for weeks and with every guest he had on he found an excuse to bring up the book or ask the guest if they had read it. It's what made Charles rant so funny he was finally screaming what a lot of listeners must have been thinking

[@georgethomas276]

Brilliant radio, we'll never hear this again, we were always in stitches with the I-Man

[@chriscosby2459]

I remember watching this when it happened -- it still cracks me up. Imus kept going on and on about this book for days. LOL

[@Suntyde21]

I have this on my daily favorite list. Thanks for a daily laugh!

[@Rnyargd]

I watched this live when it happened. One of the funniest bits I’ve ever heard. Charles was hilarious.

[@Navigator10016]

This was pretty funny back when it happened. Imus had been talking about this Chambers-Hiss-Nixon stuff since the 70s. It probably continues to fascinate him, for some reason.

[@nickpeluso7511]

I remember hearing this live while driving to college. So funny

[@arhuxtable]

A classic episode from December 3,1997,precisely ten years before Don Imus resumed 'Imus In The Morning' at WABC,based in New York like WFAN.

[@showaltermicro]

I can see this one over and over, I have and the first time. Charles always spits too funny.

[@maxwellpalmer9963]

I would love to hear these two on the radio with the current events of today,

[@christopherfeeney1962]

Oh it would be phenomenal radio!

[@Wubby805]

I don't think we'll ever know this type of fun on a radio show again.

[@FrankDiMaria]

so next time i'm stuck in a meeting that's already gone on way too long, if somebody says they want to "reprise" something, i guess i have my answer...

[@Coasterdude02149]

I miss Charles...there was some great laughs with him.

[@Qtrmiler74]

"....I wish I were DEAD!!!!!".....hysterical!!!!

[@Dem0D1ck]

I heard this on the radio when I was traveling in sales, and was laughing so hard I had to pull off the Interstate so I wouldn't crash the company car. So funny.

[@Coasterdude02149]

👍🏻🤣

[@kevinshelton9103]

I stopped listening to Imus and Charles in 2007 when he was fired from WFAN. And while my views politically and on life differ greatly. These men were funny and topical. WFAN missed a lot when IMUS in the morning was moved to WABC. Even though there were valid reasons for Les Moonves letting IMUS go, the station(WFAN) missed a lot and so did this and other listeners as well.

[@1023WFJP]

DAMMM I miss those days !!!!!!!!!!!!

[@christopherfeeney1962]

Me too, my friend. Me too!

[@dalisman]

UNBELIEVABLE!!! This is THE single most incredible, hilarious fip-out I've ever seen, and the fact that it comes from newsreader Charles McCord makes it even better. "Fine...I was just glad to learn..." LOL

[@lisaschreiber5590]

Also the "sissy cancer" flip out!

[@dalisman]

@@lisaschreiber5590 huh I don’t know that one!

[@Coasterdude02149]

@@lisaschreiber5590 And the erection for election bit

[@glenm5034]

Mc Cord always lighted up the Imus program

[@reggaeky]

Lou's laugh always make me laugh harder. Wish I could watch Imus on internet. Can't seem to make connection. Haven't seen him since MSNBC and watched him since 1999 until he got fired. I search for clips on KZbin to watch. I have this one saved on DVR, on Imus' Hits or something one morning on MSNBC when they were on vacation.

[@SteveCarrDrivesAPrius]

I think 1997 was the perfect year.

[@FortunateJuice]

This was probably a "pull over because I can't breathe" moment for some of the listeners.

[@dfc576]

Classic. I miss Charles

[@robertellis4938]

December 3, 1997... a day that will live in infamy.

[@christopherfeeney1962]

Yes!😂. I STILL remember it to this day, and play this clip on each Dec. 3rd!

[@AmericasChoice]

I was cheering Charles on when I heard this live.

[@jodybradshaw3988]

Radio at its best. How did the time get away from us

[@12stanhumphries]

Back when IMAN was the real IMan and MSNBC was a real network .

[@thomasackerly2410]

Best RANT vent ever

[@vince065us]

Life with Imus and Charles!

[@MrHomolka]

What a classic!

[@Jason_Laster]

Mccord slobbering at 1:58 lol

[@mowm88]

This was great. Imagine if Don went nuts over, say, the Grassy Knoll or whatever, it'd be the same thing. This is fun.

[@1calvinfunny1]

Imus with Terry Bradshaw was f-in hilarious,especially when he was playing Terry's songs....

[@dsfddsgh]

Remember when they would play Terry's Christmas album? Holy shit that was some funny shit.

[@kumako2093]

He was serious! LOL miss these dudes

[@jimmyolsenblues]

RIP I love you Imus

[@vince065us]

Charles unplugged.He's the only one who could put Imus in his place.

[@kcinks]

Watched it live like nearly every show back then, Charles going rabid and foaming at the mouth was unforgettable!

[@christinasantini8020]

This was by far the funniest.

[@jeffszabo781]

Charles McCord….comedy legend

[@thomasthomas2418]

I videotaped this when it occured. The tape is labled, "FOR GOD'S SAKE, STOP!"

[@TLogan1027]

I love this!!!!! Go Charles Go!!!!

[@MrHomolka]

"I Get Knocked Down" by Chumbawumba is the song. Nice one hit wonder haha

[@Mikeweepercelona]

your still waving the damn books around !!!

[@bvd1022]

I agree but the skit where bartlett interrupted the weather report as "Brian Wilson" is close

[@chrisfeeney5814]

bvd1022 I don’t know that one!! Is it online somewhere?!!

[@TuMalditaMadre]

Reprise this!

[@Freddyguitarslim]

hey, this is great,thank you,

[@woc1371]

"I wish I were dead!"

[@bluepeahen]

RIP Mr. Imus

[@FortunateJuice]

I can't hear "the Hiss people" without thinking of Control.

[@mister70s]

OMG this is friggin too funny !!

[@Alabama1861]

THAT IS FUNNY! But to MROSEN62, People should be allowed to carry guns, because Charles wouldn't shot Don Imus, he would've shot the books.

[@philcarreon4543]

Classic Imus-Mcord shtick. LOL.😂😂😂😂😂

[@titusXpullo]

Reprise this!!! LOL

[@BOOGE64]

Were these outbursts scripted or ad libbed.

[@TuMalditaMadre]

What..the hell...difference does it make?

[@bvd1022]

Classic...

[@hilaryzschultz]

Ohh wow mr. Mccord take a chill pill 😂😂😂😂

[@fireprogram]

The best!

[@TheMan750]

0:44

[@MROSEN62]

That proves my case. People shouldn't be allowed to carry guns. Otherwise, Charles would have drilled Imus.

[@michaelh1889]

Subtle but effective...😁

[@CharlesBass-u6j]

Let me just say....

[@scottduyser1222]

There all dead!!!!

[@ProudlyArmed]

Nice try... wrong though... its called "tubthumping"

[@thacryinggame]

Qwhat qwhen

[@esling77]
