| Jerrry Springer, the former mayor of Cincinnati, became a talk show host in 1991. His first celebrity guest was talk show host Sally Jessy Raphael. The show went virtually un-noticed in its first season because he was unknown and his topics were rather tame. After almost being canceled, a new producer decided to switch gears and the show turned into the controversial program that it is today. His first new controversial show was about women who wanted to pose for Penthouse. The first fight happened on a Ku Klux Klan show and it was fights like those that turned his show into a ratings success. The show is so controversial, that Joe Lieberman has urged sponsors to pull out. Although some people boycott the show due to its content, Springer went on to beat Oprah in the ratings. His show has even been turned into an opera, which is very popular overseas. Besides his talk show, Springer now hosts a serious radio show on Air America. After 15 years Springer's talk show does seem to be winding down. Ratings are down drastically and every show seems to be about the same thing: cheating. Bodyguard Steve Wilkos has hosted several shows and appears in all of the show's promos. In April 2007, a Jerry Springer reality show called "The Springer Hustle" began on VH1. The show goes behind the scenes of "Springer" to show how producers work hard to get the most entertaining guests possible. Beginning in September 2007, Steve will host his own talk show, which will be paired up with Springer in many markets. |
