Pat Cooper, an acerbic stand-up comedian who later had a career acting in films and TV series including Analyze This, Seinfeld and the original Charlie’s Angels and was a favorite of Howard Stern, died Tuesday at his home in Las Vegas. He was 93.
His wife, Emily Connor, announced the news.
Born Pasquale Caputo on July 31, 1929, in Brooklyn, he tried to join multiple branches of the U.S. Armed Forces but was rejected and turned to comedy. He adopted his stage name during an early-’60s stint doing stand-up, which further angered the Italian family he often roasted in his act.
Cooper became estranged from his parents while focusing on his insult-heavy comedy career. His angry onstage persona led to multiple firings from stints opening for the likes of Frank Sinatra and Paul Anka. By the mid-’60s, he was being booked on many of the era’s most popular variety...

Don Imus, the broadcast provocateur who was a staple of morning drive-time radio for decades, died on Friday in College Station, Texas, after being hospitalized on Christmas Eve. He was 79.
Imus retired from his nationally syndicated “Imus in the Morning” radio show in March 2018. He told CBS News at the time he was suffering from emphysema.
Imus was known to fans as the “I-Man” who prided himself on speaking his mind about politics, pop culture and other hot topics.
But Imus faced a barrage of criticism and lost CBS’ radio group as his national platform in 2007 after he made racially disparaging comments about members of Rutgers University’s women’s basketball team. Imus jokingly referred to members of the team as being “nappy-headed hos.” He later met with some of the players and apologized in person.
At his peak in the 1990s and early 2000s, Imus’ two-hour daily radio show was simulcast live on MSNBC.

Imus died Friday morning at Baylor Scott and White Medical Center in College Station, Texas, after being hospitalized on Christmas Eve, a representative said. The cause of death was not disclosed.
Mike and the Mad Dog host Mike Francesa tweeted Friday, "Shocking news on the passing of my friend, Don Imus. He will long be remembered as one of the true giants in the history of radio."
Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough added, "Morning Joe obviously owes its format to Don Imus. No one else could have gotten away with that much talk on cable news. Thanks for everything, Don." Morning Joe started as a fill-in for Imus in the Morning...
