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.
