Don Imus is an American radio talk-show host, host of Imus in the Morning, known for his "shock jock" speaking manner. Many prominent politicians appeared on his show.

A liberal organization called Media Matters for America[1] publicized some offensive comments[2] from his show about the appearance of the Rutgers and Tennessee female basketball team players that some people perceived as playing on gender and racial stereotypes. The comments used some urban slang expressions. African American activists Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson joined in, and said that the comments were offensive, joined by numerous other African-Americans and many women. On April 12th 2007, CBS canceled Don Imus's show.

Don Imus has since been broadcasting his show on WABC-AM in the mornings.[3]

Imus's show currently appears on the Fox Business Network.
