He was one of a kind...Like most entertainers he had two sides and many never heard the "good" side. Regardless he cracked me up even when he was riffing on people I liked!

To me the man was a legend, tried to never miss his show, strange that 'Bernie' was not mentioned in any of the media about Imus' passing.
