I remember when Imus first came to NY, on NBC..this rep preceeded him, and he was an activealcoholic and a druggie at that time. Many mornings, he showed up late for the show, or not at all..the newspaper would run reader polls as to whether or not he'd show up on time on a certain day.

Back then he used to supplement his income, ( and getting freeze booze, no doubt ) by doing a stand-up act on the weekends at the old "Toots Shor's" nightclub. I caught him twice. Very funny act.

FYI..Rich Galen's "Mullings" column ( a good read, as always ) today..is titled "Imus Is In Mourning"

And the WFAN website still hasn't been changed to reflect the new order. Imus's bio and schedule still head it..

I’m not surprised to hear he was a druggie and alcoholic. It’s amazing he ever got a television gig, given his reputation.
