This is the funniest thing I found and read today. Jerry Springer to host American’s Got Talent this summer! I can’t believe this..I don’t like him not one bit and for his tv show Jerry Springer I find it to be ridiculous. I don’t know if his show is true or it’s made up, it appears to me that it’s a fake! I’m also not sure why but he scares me .. He looks to be a “dirty old man”

Jerry mentions in the article... "I've been around some of America's most talented individuals on my talk show,"
Oh ya... like who? I don’t think I’ve seen anyone on his show to be talented. Uhh.. What on earth where they thinking?? and why of all people Jerry??

I think he charmed the many who watched the last Dancing with the Stars show.. For the life of me, I don't know why he kept advancing.. He stunk.. but did so with humor and improvisation to his routines.. Since it was a call in voting type show.. I'm sure those who watch his show were advancing him.. I think he wanted out actually. He was shocked that he was around so long..

Don't know if anyone knows this or not..but he used to be the mayor of Cincinnati..

I don't much care for his show either.. It's really a travesty! I think his show is a big act.. I haven't watched it in years..and don't know if they actually try to help some of those people.. I would be happy if he did give up that show..and pursued more wholesome and legitimate avenues for entertainment. Exploiting people and staging fights is not very honorable in my opinion.

His show is trashy but its good entertainment thats why its lasted so long.

I used to have a very negative opinion of Jerry Springer. I didn't like his show at all and thought it was actually harmful. Then I saw Jerry do several serious interviews. I was quite impressed with him. He is actually a very politically minded person who may return and pursue politics again. He discussed many national issues and seemed well read.

When questioned about his show being a joke and so outrageous, he agreed completely. He said the show is a reflection of a certain segment of America. He thinks his guest represent what many Americans do, but, they aren't put down for it because they are attractive, educated and wealthy. He said that people love to see all the scandal about super stars lives no matter how trashy, but, if the people are the type from his show, it is somehow viewed as too pathetic because they are poor, uneducated and unattractive. He thinks they should have a voice too and that they are no lesser of an American because of where they come from. He doesn't take the show very seriously though.

I kinda agree with him. I don't watch the show, but, if others relate and find it entertaining then I think it is a personal choice. What's the difference in the dramas his show displays as opposed to the drama we see with Anna Nicole, Britney, Paris, Nicole, etc. ?

The few times I did see Jerry's show it was about who is the father of various women's babies. They tracked down the men, conducted the test, and knew who was and was not the dad in 60 minutes...not bad.
