John Donald Imus Jr. (July 23, 1940 – December 27, 2019), better known as Don Imus, was an American radio personality, television show host, recording artist, and author. He was known for his radio show Imus in the Morning, which aired on various stations and digital platforms nationwide until 2018. In 1968 he began his first radio job, at KUTY, in Palmdale, California. Three years later, he was obtained the morning broadcast position at WNBC, in New York City. Imus was fired from WNBC in 1977, then rehired, in 1979, remaining at the station until 1988, when the show moved to WFAN.
He gained widespread popularity when Imus in the Morning entered national syndication, in 1993. Imus was labelled a "shock jock" radio host throughout his later career. He retired from broadcasting in March 2018, after nearly 50 years on the air, then died the following year.
