Don Imus Imus broadcast his first program from New York City back in 1971. He broadcast what some said --vehemently --should have been his last in 2007. His life journey has by some accounts been arduous, by other accounts a freak parade, and by still others as a matter for a RICO investigation. It began out in the great American West, California and Arizona, and eventually would make its way on across the country to Ohio and New York. |

Charles McCord is a news anchor, on-air radio personality, and right-hand man of Don Imus during the long run of Imus in the Morning for the past three decades. McCord began his radio career at KICK in Springfield, Missouri in 1963 before moving to the now-defunct WFAA in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, and then to WWDC and WTOP in Washington, DC before joining WNBC in New York City in the early 1970s. McCord's responsibilities on the Imus program include news reporting and writing comedy material for celebrity impersonators Larry Kenney and Rob Bartlett. In character, he is usually the straight man and occasionally an Imus sycophant. |

Tony Powell What do you get when you cross the charisma of Eddie Murphy, the irreverence of Chris Rock, and the Old School charm of Bernie Mack? I have no idea, however, I do know that when you add a quick wit, great storytelling ability, and the performance chops of a seasoned pro you have Tony Powell. |
