I used to watch him in the mornings in the early-mid 2000s while getting ready for work. I liked the show and mostly admired his sharp wit, though at times he went over the top. I was watching the day he made the remarks about the Rutgers women’s basketball champions and thought “wow” that’s not going to be well received! The next day he apologized and the following day he was fired! He was trying to be clever and funny but obviously crossed the line, and this time he paid the price. What may mitigate his inappropriate behavior at times is the ranch he and his wife ran for children with cancer. He spent much of his own money and raised more through fundraisers and donations to provide kids suffering that awful disease with a few days of sunshine and happiness. RIP Mr. Imus.
