Wolf loses age suit against Imus

-

Sportscast­er Warner Wolf has lost his age discrimina­tion lawsuit against Don Imus – because he lives in Florida.

Wolf, best known for his “Let’s go to the videotape!” catchphras­e, alleged in his suit that the shock jock mocked his senior status before firing him in 2016.

But in a ruling released last week, Manhattan Supreme Court Justice James d’Auguste wrote that the 80-yearold Wolf’s residence in Florida means the suit fails on jurisdicti­onal grounds.

Imus, 78, made “inappropri­ate” remarks about Wolf’s age like "time to put (Wolf ) out to pasture," according to the suit.

But d’Auguste wrote that those examples did not rise to the level of age discrimina­tion by Imus — since he is also old.

Wolf’s attorney Doug Wigdor vowed to appeal.
