If you’re a long-time listener to Howard Stern, you know Stern has said that Imus was pretty mean to him when they worked together at WNBC in New York, not the other way around. Imus hosted morning drive, Stern did afternoons. In an interview with CBS Sunday morning, discussing his upcoming retirement, Imus tells Anthony Mason it was Stern who had issues with him. “He had a big problem with me. I didn’t with him.”
Many will recall the scene in Private Parts where an angry Don Imus slams the door on a young Howard Stern. Perhaps it was all fiction.
Perhaps Stern will address that take on his SiriusXM program. For decades Stern would rail against Imus on his program and Imus would return the barbs. Imus did tell Mason one of his picks for best-ever on the radio is Howard Stern. The interview with Mason airs on CBS this Sunday. Imus retires on Friday, March 29, after 47 years as one of radio’s most successful morning show personalities.
It would be a great 30-for-30 type program with Howard Stern and Don Imus sitting together in a studio reminiscing about how they both kept listeners glued to their radios no matter what they did.
The Imus-Stern barb trades were a generational update on the famous insult war that was waged between Jack Benny and Fred Allen.
Indeed. Who is that squirt on the left?
Howard Stern is 6 ft 5. From that pic Eric Rhoads must be well over 7 feet tall……
Hahah was thinking the same thing
