......God help us if his sidekick is Arsenio Hall
During a June 29, 2007 broadcast, comments were made by WFAN host Mike Francesa and Charles McCord, which seemed to indicate that Imus would be returning to the air in the near future possibly rejoining WFAN. The comments were made during a 20th anniversary celebration of WFAN, as part of a broadcast meant to honor Imus's contribution to the station. McCord noted that the broadcast seemed to reflect on Imus through a rear-view mirror. Then he quipped, "Be warned: Objects in the mirror may be closer than they appear." Francesa then cryptically added that by, "this September, I hope the team will once again be complete."
On July 8, 2007, the Drudge Report indicated that Imus would return to the air before the 2008 presidential election. In July 2007, Bo Dietl - a close friend and regular guest of Imus - told an Albany radio show that the most likely time for Imus to return would be in September 2007. The New York Post reported on July 16, 2007 that Imus was in search of a black comedian to join the show upon its return to help cushion racially insensitive comments he might say on the air
