Has anyone heard any more about Don Imus' lawsuit or whether he is pursuing another radio show?

1. I heard on CNBC that he is being "courted"

for a new radio show. Guesses range from AM radio to Sirius but it definately won't be with CBS.

2. Thanks. It will be interesting to see if he reinvents himself in some way.

I was thinking about calling his agent to see if he would do a phone interview with me.

I'm probably too low on the list to be considered, but with the DU and the Internet, who knows?

Also would like to speak with Deirdre, his wife, about her environmentally safe cleaning products.

3. good luck

I've actually met both of them and they are not nice people.

5. Tell me your story, Katina. PM it to me if you want to remain anonymous.

I'm interested in what you know or have observed.

4. Holy ZEUS!!1 I'd forgotten how much I *don't* miss that face!!1

Here's the money sound byte from "A Face in the Crowd" (directed by wingnut tool Elia KAZAN) with Andy GRIFFITH as a sL-IMUS type sleezeball, whose career is busted by an on-air exposure of his cynicism and despicable character.

Lonesome Rhodes: Listen, I'm not through yet. You know what's gonna to happen to me?

Mel Miller: Suppose I tell you exactly what's gonna happen to you. You're gonna be back in television. Only it won't be quite the same as it was before. There'll be a reasonable cooling-off period and then somebody will say: "Why don't we try him again in a inexpensive format. People's memories aren't too long." And you know, in a way, he'll be right. Some of the people will forget, and some of them won't. Oh, you'll have a show. Maybe not the best hour or, you know, top 10. Maybe not even in the top 35. But you'll have a show. It just won't be quite the same as it was before. Then a couple of new fellas will come along. And pretty soon, a lot of your fans will be flocking around them. And then one day, somebody'll ask: "Whatever happened to, a, whatshisname? You know, the one who was so big. The number-one fella a couple of years ago. He was famous. How can we forget a name like that? Oh by the way, have you seen, a, Barry Mills? I think he's the greatest thing since Will Rogers."

(Mel turns and starts to leave. Then, he turns back towards Lonesome)

Mel Miller: Beanie!

(Beanie, who is manning the automatic appalause machine, instinctively pulls the switch, unleashing a massive abundance of cheers. The machanical jubilation continues as Mel joins Marcia in the waiting elevator, leaving Lonesome alone in the empty penthouse with his broken dreams)

6. Holy canoli, UTUSN. Could that yellow highlighter be muted a bit?

I think it's burning holes in my retina.

Anyway, thanks for the script quotes. I have to rent "A Face in the Crowd" (1957) -- haven't seen it for decades. I loved Lee Remick, a beautiful woman who died very young.

By the way, 1957 was the year I started in television.

Here's the photo to prove that I was on Popeye Playhouse at the beginning. This is the show's first publicity shot from January 1957:
