Former shock radio jock Don Imus was at the center of a storm of controversy when he made racially and sexually insulting comments on-air earlier this month. Now, the 66-year-old is looking for work, or some other way of occupying his suddenly ample amount of free time.
betED Props is offering bettors an opportunity to make some cash on the radio veteran?s future.
Go to betED Props and place a wager on what Imus will get up to next. Will he: write a book? (+175); get a divorce? (+800); join fellow airwaves shocker Howard Stern on Sirius Radio? (+850); be hired by Barack Obama as campaign coordinator? (+4000); get a job with Rutgers basketball program? (+4500); openly date an African-American woman? (+5000); be hired as a Today Show host? (+12500).
CBS fired Imus April 12, canceling his ?Imus in the Morning? program over a racial and sexual insult he made about the Rutgers Women?s basketball team. The move came a day after the cable television network MSNBC, which had simulcast Imus?s radio program for the past 10 years, removed the show from its morning lineup.
The moves mean Imus, who has been broadcasting the program for more than 30 years, no longer has a home on either national radio or television.
Some believe he will re-emerge on satellite radio.
CBS chief executive Leslie Moonves had met with the Rev. Al Sharpton and the Rev. Jesse Jackson, leaders in what became a national movement to remove Mr. Imus from the air in the wake of his comments. On April 4, Mr. Imus referred on the air to the Rutgers athletes as ?nappy-headed hos.?
Both CBS and MSNBC had been under pressure from black leaders and women?s groups, then advertisers began abandoning the Imus program and its networks, pulling out the financial underpinnings from the show.
