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.

62. For those who are saying that this is "PC run amok", f*** you. That's a bullsh*t argument. This man has said some amazingly horrific things about anyone who disagrees with his microscopic world view. He said to a gay caller on his short lived TV show "I hope you get AIDS and die, you pig". According to the "this is PC run amok" asses on this thread, that's OK. Savage isn't being ignorant. He's being open minded by wishing someone to get AIDS and die. He's a role model of tolerance and diversity! Savage is a human piece of sh*t, and we got as much right to tell him to f*** off as he does to push his bullsh*t on the radio.

63. I heard the comments about Etheridge and found them to be true. All Savage said was, that calling a women your wife by another women is sick and it is. But having gayness push down our throats and all of us are to believe this is normal, well it's not, God's words not mind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

66. That was akward when she mentioned her wife. Also when Rosie said that the photogs were bothering her wife and kids. It's just weird, and we don't have to accept it being shoved down our throats.

68. 61 : do you really think that everyone who doesn't agree that a gay lifestyle is normal is secretly gay themselves?

Seriously?

Whatever.

I couldn't care less what people do in their own bedrooms. I am starting to move to the more conservative side however due to GLAAD's POV being shoved at me in the media all the time. If your 'gay' then rock on with your bad self. But don't bash, hassel or in this case perhaps hurt the career of someone who disagrees with you. It goes back to the playground....your acting like bullies. It is wrong to hurt (verbal of physical) someone because of their lifestyle but it is also wrong to do the same to someone for their opinion.

Michael Savage No. 1 in San Francisco

Michael Savage, one of the most vocal talk-radio opponents of "San Francisco liberals," has the best talk-radio ratings among key listener demographics in that California city.

Talk Radio Networks' "The Michael Savage Show" is tops in News/Talk with a 4.3 share among male listeners 12 and older. Savage has a 4.8 share with men aged 25 to 54, and a 5.6 share with men aged 35 to 64 in the Fall Book on his flagship station of Talk910-AM KNEW, San Francisco.

Savage's national radio audience also had substantial growth in cities such as New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, Atlanta, Baltimore, and San Jose, Calif.

"Michael Savage continues to lead the way in San Francisco Talk Radio," says KNEW's program director, Bob Agnew. "He is so far ahead, not only in ratings but on the grasp of the issues, the rest are following his lead.”
