Savage Goes Down in Flames

Posted Mar 1st 2007 6:58PM by TMZ Staff

Just two days after announcing they were representing him, CAA has given homophobic radio host Michael Savage the ax! Adios, hater!

As TMZ earlier reported, on the heels of being signed to the high-profile talent agency, Savage made disparaging and homophobic remarks aimed at fellow CAA client Melissa Etheridge. Well, that didn't fly at the agency, because, according to Planet Gossip's Marc Malkin, CAA is no longer repping the conservative hate-monger -- and has unceremoniously dropped him from their client list!

Looks like Savage will now have something beside the private lives of A-list Oscar-winning lesbians to whine about.

CAA confirmed to TMZ that Savage is no longer their client.

32. Michael Savage is a freak - and he appeals to the freak kooks in the world, so, yes, there's a place for him. Obviously not in a professional organization like CAA though. He spews lies and hate and is clearly such a miserable man. His popularity has been slipping as people are turning more and more to talk show hosts like David Stein and Dave Ramsey.

CAA took a stand and did the right thing.

33. He made a comment that went to far. But yet again who says what is too far? We can only place blame in ourselves. In American everybody is right and everybody is wrong. It's never been black and white just a grey area.

34. Would love to get the full listing of CAA clients. Than we can all vote on them retaining them or not based on their views of the world. Shame on this agency for succumbing to pressure from any Special Interest Group, if that is what happened here. They already knew what they were getting in Savage if Gay views are a consideration of they taking clients or not, and even former outrageous statements he has made.

Now lets see who else is on there and what their stance is on the war, the environment, the border, islam, trans fat, smoking, motorcycle helmet laws etc.

36. Another one bites the dust! I heard the same thing happened to Joe Rogan after he flipped out on Carlos Manceia. Apparently, agents don't like one client bad mouthing another. I have a feeling Savage will be able to find another agent, sadly.

38. nore- Hon, I work in fashion for the last 16 years. EXTREMELY DIFFICULT business not to like gays in. Or even to be a homophobe in, it's VERY obvious when people are homophobes. And those folks never last long in the business of , "making pretty things".

My life long best friend IS in FACT a homosexual male. We have been best buddies since grade school, I knew back then. He came out in HS, we dormed together in College. I'm as FAR from homophobic as you can get without being homosexual myself.

Sorry to ruin your fantasy.

Hell that's a funny one, I am also a native American so Heaven/Hell is laughable to me.

39. This man needs to figure out why he hates people who are different from him. No doubt he probably hates blacks, jews, latinos, etc. I pity him and the world of hate he is trapped into.

Well, if queers lived true to their cause, they can't have children.

They have to lie and marry and spawn, and THEN they figure out they are queer, or they have to buy sperm and/or a uterus to grow a child for them.

41. I laughed so hard I almost peed my pants. Savage is such as ass. If I want to listen to someone rant and rave I just have to listen to my wife when she burns the meat loaf. This turd of a human being is good enough to be the excrement on the bottom of my boots.

42. #4 Molly,

You're retarded.

43. This guy just spews hate out of his sewer mouth for ratings. If we all just ignored the dipsh*t he wouldn't have a show. He and the racist herpes whore parasite should hook up.

44. kiss my ass BlackMetal again, you can spin it all you want you're a hater pure and simple I AM Gay was BORN gay and so was my bother. scroll, the gaybashers would love to lynch gays for no other reason than liking the same sex PERIOD I am a lesbian, I don't like men sexually...my sex life is my business and if it's any of your business I have not been in a relationship in some time and I am celibate. It's not all about sex, like it is with nut scratching f***ing heterosexuals

45. I think this is a good thing. It's not just Savage's lesbian/homosexual bashing. The side www.mediamatters.org has entire pages on false statements, incidiary comments, and the visceral hatred this man spews out every day.

I think Mike has some personal issues to work out. It's nice to see CAA not chase the money. Savage was kicked off MSNBC for telling a gay caller "I hope you get AIDS and die, you pig.". CAA doesn't need people like that on its roster.

For the record, Melissa Ethridge is a wonderful lesbian. Her music is just OK, but I like her as a person immensely.
