Was her show a top grossing show? No, it wasn't doing all that well and it was axed when she ousted herself.
It very much was a top grossing show (top 5 comedy behind Seinfeld, Friends, and Roseanne). Even back in the mid-90s it had considerably more viewers than Duck Dynasty does now.

And there was no campaign.
There was a massive campaign. The Religious Right was even able to convince several ABC stations in the South to blackout Ellen in boycott. If you tried to watch the show, all you got was a blank screen for 30 minutes.
I have a feeling that this whole situation will make the guy's popularity grow.
Are conservatives his base? In that case it will. If he had been hateful his ratings would go up even higher. Nothing makes a con tingle for than hatred
BOYCOTT
...
I like the idea of American people letting "them" know of our outrage.
However, be aware that A&E is owned by D$SNEY, as is ABC, L$FETIME, LucasF$lm, and host of other "famous names."
If you wish to boycott, boycott THE HEAD OF THE DRAGON... and kick it in its wallet.
...
Let D$SNEY know that you will boycott ALL THEIR PRODUCTS.
Funny, that no leftist, can prove that he is a bigot...because you don't like what he said, does not mean he is a bigot...
What happended to the tollerant left?
I never said he was a bigot. And for your education responding to something somebody said isn't intolerant. That's the trouble with you cons, if we don't agree with everything you say you accuse us of being intolerent
If the cons are so damn tolerant of people saying things they don't like then why did they attack the Dixie Chicks? How come Martin Bashir doesn't have his job at MSNBC anymore? Why did Ed Schultz have to apologize?

Are conservatives his base? Some. Sure. Not all. I don't watch the show, and I don't agree with his view point. However; I do support his right to free speech. And quite frankly, the GQ interviewer asked about his views did they not? They asked, he told them. Again, I don't agree with his views, however; out of curiousity I just may check out an episode or two now, just to see what the fuss is all about.
