That was my first thought as well...the Irish Cardinal bit. Godspeed Bernie.
He did the best Cardinal O’Conner bits. “Imus in the morn!!”

I haven’t thought of Bernard in ages. What a shame - he was a great conservative, IIRC.
I have fond memories of Bernard, Imus, and Janice Dean on Imus’ show.
being only 10 years younger than that... that seems to freaking young!
Bernie was on WFAN with Imus in the late 80s/90s. I got into talk radio because of that show and Mike and Mad Dog.

Got to give Bernard his props, the man is funny as hell!!!

Rob Bartlett...fabulous as the “Godfather”!
His skits were so funny. I watched Imus in the morning for years and all those on his team made it the success it was. RIP Bernie and thanks for the laughs......(As an aside I saw Bartlett on Law and Order SVU as a shady lawyer a couple of times)

Until recently (when he was out) had been enjoying hearing him daily on WABC’s Bernie & Sid radio show...RIP, Bernie
You believed in me when almost no one else did. You stayed loyal and loved me when it would have been easy to run I am beyond devastated. But I do have beautiful memories that provide me some solace as well as knowing you are no longer in pain. I will miss you & always love you. pic.twitter.com/6xrJdHQSD0— Sid Rosenberg (@sidrosenberg) October 6, 2022
And Mike Breen’s house burned down last week.

Heartbreaking news. the great Bernard McGuirk has passed away. Bernie was a beloved colleague, competitor and friend. He’ll never be replaced or forgotten. With Imus, doing the Cardinal and all the other times he showed his brilliance. Pictured here with Noam Laden and Geraldo pic.twitter.com/rtqc9PfO46— MARK SIMONE (@MarkSimoneNY) October 6, 2022

Another legend passes. Thank you #BernardMcGuirk for all the laughs and analysis. I’m sure you and Don Imus are laughing it up in paradise. pic.twitter.com/EZQCLMVZXw— Jonathan T Gilliam (@JGilliam_SEAL) October 6, 2022
“My favorite parts of the Imus show was when McGurik played the cardinal.”
Every 30 seconds he would utter - “Begorrah B’Jeez” (Jesus)
McGuirk was much funnier than Imus. Credit to Imus for allowing McG the space to do it.
Too young to die, but bald guys ought to think twice before criticizing other people’s hair. RIP.
