I've actually never watched the show, but I had heard about him and seen him before. The main thing I heard about him of course, was the racial comment he made. I think it was pretty messed up of his son to sabotage his own father's career like that, and could very well be a great guy in some people's opinion, but I agree that it was the right thing to take the show off :

It is his business if he wants to be an ignorant white trash type person that still cannot accept that there are other races in this world. However, when you are in the position of being a celebrity and having a show, you need to show a little class, even if you don't have any. He should have never said that, even if he didn't think that it would get back to anyone, because as someone in the media, you ALWAYS run the risk of being exposed. There were children that looked up to him ( I don't know why..ugh) and these kids all received a hateful message from someone they looked to as a role model...totally unacceptable. His show needed to be cancelled to let people know that that kind of ignorant mind set will not be tolerated on public television.
