Don Imus- one of radio’s legendary — and most controversial — figures died Friday at a Texas hospital. One of the original shock-jocks, Imus had a long, ground-breaking career. But it was marred by bouts of alcoholism and drug addiction, and all but ended in disgrace after he made racist comments on air. Jeff Glor reports.
Don Imus gained both fame and notoriety for his news-making interviews, edgy comedy bits, drug and alcohol problems, long-running feud with radio host Howard Stern, and his charity work for kids with cancer. In 2007, Imus faced public outrage and was fired by CBS after making racist comments. Health problems forced him to retire in 2018 after nearly 50 years on the air. Don Imus was 79 years old.
