IMUS UPDATE: Sopranos Actor Appears On Imus | Imus Says He Will 'Make Every Effort' To Hire Blacks | Advertisers Pull Out

Recapping the latest movement in the Imus imbroglio

Yesterday, Imus said he would “make every effort” to book and hire blacks for his embattled radio show. Meanwhile, the mounting boycott among advertisers and cautiousness by frequent guests didn’t stop Sopranos actor Steven Schirripa [above], a regular on Imus, from appearing on the show this morning to talk about the season premiere.

Three of the show’s major advertisers — Proctor & Gamble, Bigelow Teas and Staples — announced that they were dropping their sponsorship of the radio show.
