Imus is a bitter old man, nothing like he was back in the 60's on WNBC when he was a radio DJ. It's long past time for him to follow in the footsteps of Leno and retire and leave it to a young woman to take over his spot.

I couldn't agree more Brainiac I went back and looked at some Imus's shows on You Tube about 5 years ago and he and his entourage were much funnier back then than they are now. Connell is no replacement for Charles McCord. Imus isn't as witty as he once was. Rob Bartletts "Magen McDowell" was hilarious although he has tapered off recently also. Magen being a spoof on Dagen's sister.

Imus doesn't have any business on a business channel.

You're absolutely right. I was wrong about the dates Imus was on WNBC. It was in the 70's. I was thinking he was a competitor to Cousin Brucie over on WABC in the 60's but they were both on WNBC at the same time. My bad.

Seems after the nappy headed hoes incident IMUS got his balls cut off

No more Cardinal or Ray Nagin segments for Bernie :cry:

Imus lost me when he treated Contessa Brewer like a total piece of sh!t :censor

I gained a lot of respect for Jenna Lee when she did his show because she wouldn't put up with his crap :Kool

Looks like Liz Claman made out great with the arrival of Maria

She still has her Primetime 3-5 slots while Dagen, Cheryl & Lori got their spots cut

Though Maria will probably get some of Liz's Prime gigs like Davos etc...

Liz probably will keep the Consumer Electronics Show, Three Days in the Valley and the role as FBN's Warren Buffett correspondent :Kool

Maria just told Howard Kurtz her Sunday show will be his lead-in starting next Sunday from 10-11 a.m. EST
Meaning Jamie just lost an hour :evil:

And you know they'll keep Sunday House Call, so Jamie will be behind a desk for a half-hour :cry:

Thats horrible, they already had kept Jamie behind a desk uneccessarily for years and now just when she's coming out again she's gonna have an hour cut. I have nothing against Maria but i'm not happy with that at all!

Maybe Jamie is going to do 12pm and they make 3pm a full news hour? Hopefully she can announce her new schedule on FB or Twitter.

Some of the results of the FBN schedule changes are.
Sandra was on Maria's show doing reports standing next to the desk showing leg.

Dagen is now appearing on Happening Now.

And we have our answer. Maria is exempt from the no pants rule at FOX news.
She was in pants today.

Bartiromo looked horrible today. Lack of thigh on FBN definitely keeps me from tuning in to it. I'd rather watch HSN with the mute button pushed.

Varney beats Maria on her first day.

Now that we have had a couple days of shows I can say I'm only recording Opening Bell for Sandra Smith.
No disrespect to Maria or her fans but she has a very boring wardrobe.
Monday pants, Wednesday long skirt and boots and today is pants.
Maybe this is going to change in the coming weeks.

Doesn't surprise me. Varney has a loyal Conservative following since he talks politics on his show.

Maria's Sunday show will air Sundays at 10 am starting next week.

Her show set must be horrible because I never hear anyone talk about it.
