I am – Hercules!!

NBC cancelled Don Imus’ TV show Wednesday. CBS cancelled his radio show today.

Apparently Imus' comment about the Rutgers women's basketball team was just the straw that broke the camel's back. From Newsday:

But what led to this afternoon's abrupt firing? It may well have been the media coverage that he chastised: A column in the New York Times by veteran columnist Bob Herbert this morning cited a decade-old "60 Minutes" story in which Imus had used the n-word off camera to a producer. According to the transcript, when Mike Wallace challenged Imus on use of the word, he at first denied saying it, but when Wallace's producer confirmed that he had indeed said it, Imus retreated by saying the comment had been "off the record."

Imus still wants to meet with the basketball team, still hopeful perhaps that some of his advertisers will forgive him and that he'll be able to start over elsewhere.
