NECN: Scot Yount) - Radio talk show host Don Imus broadcast his nationally-syndicated morning radio show live from The Wilbur Theater in Boston today, but it's what happened off the air that's making headlines.

The cantankerous radio show host Don Imus was in Boston to ring in St. Patrick's Day, but not everyone is celebrating. According to several sources, Imus threatened to shoot WTKK radio host Jay Severin.

You can see what happened on The Wilbur Theater stage in the Boston Globe photographs in this video clip. The look on Severin's face is hard to miss -- he quickly hurries off stage.

It is well known that Imus possesses a license to carry a concealed weapon. Both men declined to be interviewed, but Imus' spokesperson said Imus was unarmed.

"Don was obviously joking. It was clearly a figure of speech. This speaks volumes about Mr. Severin's desperation for attention; that he would pretend to have taken this seriously. Unless, of course, he was afraid he would be shot with a pencil."

Severin's agent shot back.

"It wasn't a joke. How was it a joke? If it was a joke, why wasn't Jay up on the stage laughing with him. It wasn't said for the audience. Utterly ridiculous. I can't believe they would make a statement like that in good conscience."

Imus and Severin's friendship has soured recently with Severin deciding to no longer appear on the show of the man who's disparaging remarks about a black women's basketball team got him fired. Whenever shock jocks make the news, one has to ask if their actions are simply to generate front page ink.

Severin's agent says he didn't know why Jay didn't call the police, saying "I don't know what he was thinking. He got out of there, and that was it."

1. Bwahahahahahaha. Severin looks like a scared puppy

Good for Imus.

Severin deserves a smackdown.

2. So very, very typical

Severin and all his years of arrogant, loudmouthed bluster can't stand up next to that picture of him, looking like he just blasted a load into the seat of his BVD's. These talk radio turds are all the same: talk, talk, talk, talk, talk. When the time comes to do more than talk, they "hurry off the stage."

Why anyone would waste a moment of their time listening to Severin and his right-wing babbling is beyond me. I really can't think of a worst example of a complete fraud and empty suit. He really is just a crying little boy begging for someone to pay some attention to him.

4. Severin looks like he just came up from servicing the "I" man.

What a pathetic jerk.
