In a dramatic and dazzling career rebound, controversial radio host Don Imus has secured a deal returning him to the airwaves on December 3 -- this time on the nation's most listened to talk station, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned!

 

"Imus In The Morning" will make high-impact resurrection on WABC in New York City, top sources reveal.

 

"We'll have him on a standard 40-second delay," a studio source explains. "Don is rested, humbled, and ready for war!"

 

Specific terms of the deal will not be released, but the host, who was fired by CBS and MSNBC after making disparaging comments about the Rutgers women's basketball team, has inked a eight-figure, multiyear contract with WABC parent company, CITADEL BROADCASTING.

 

The stunning comeback is a defeat for those who protested and picketed Imus earlier this year.

 

Imus is said to be particularly incensed by Senator Hillary Clinton's "shameless exploitation" of the Rutgers situation.

 

The senator, who Imus has called "satan" and the "devil", traveled to Rutgers in April to praise the women's basketball team for its response to the controversy. In a campaign email, Hillary called Imus's comments "small-minded bigotry and coarse sexism."

 

"Hillary, prepare to meet your maker!" a source close to the host joked early Monday.

 

Station executives are still tinkering with the new schedule at WABC, which will likely see current morning jock Curtis Sliwa paired with late morning's John Gambling.

 

Imus will be interviewed by Barbara Walters for a coming special.

Who listens to this guy?

 

It sounds like he's going to passout everytime his sentences go over the 7 word mark.

I do because he is what the kids are calling these days.... the man.

 

I assume my brush with him in NY is the reason for this turnaround.

Not surprised. I think the majority of people thought that he was unfairly fired, instead of at least being suspended.

 

However, I still think that if the advertisers for his show on MSNBC hadn't bailed on him, he would still have his job.

not surprised.

 

Also Imus is 400 years old.

Also Imus is 400 years old.

And a Marine.

 

Get some Imus.

Not surprised he's going to WABC, that bastion of liberal thought.

So he came back today.

 

One of his cast members? A Black woman.

 

Chris Dodd and John McCain went on the program.

One of his cast members? A Black woman.

Is she nappy headed? Is she a ho? These OBVIOUS questions need to be answered.
