    Eww! hide show

    Jerry Springer is a no-talent hack TV host, salacious, disgusting, exploitative, horrible, horrible, horrible! His show is probably the single most disgusting thing that's ever been broadcast over the airwaves since TV was invented. The formula is to have people take off their clothes and/or have fistfights with each other and/or scream in redneck arguments over who cheated on who, or who fathered who, or who is the worst-looking conjoined-twin-midget-stripper. This awful man and his show are making our civilization more stupid every single day that he is allowed to be on TV. The real kicker is that he is still on the air after all this time and certain people LOVE to watch him, what does that say about our society?

    He had the nuttiest talkshow and now he's the host of the craziest contest on TV, America's Got Talent. hide show

    Jerry Springer never ceases to amaze me. He reinvents himself constantly. First he's the mayor of Cinncinatti and gets busted for writing a check to a prostitute. Then he ends up with the most outrageous show on TV. Can you believe it last for as long as it did? It was on for like 15 years I think and he was the calm guy laughing at everyone as they made fools of themselves. Somehow he brought a sense of openness and non-judgement to the show. And now he's hosting America's Got Talent (starts on June 17th...on NBC...I'm watching it...Love it last season) and he seems really invested in the show. He loves this kind of thing and I love watching him do it.

    Jerry Springer is one of the most interesting people that I know. hide show

    Jerry Springer is the most talented, loveable, very interesting, and knows what he is doing. Jerry is well thought of by alot of people. Jerry has one of the best shows that I have seen. He gets it all out in the open when it comes to getting to the bottom of anything.Jerry pulls it all on the line for everything that he has. Jerry really knows how to put on a good show especially when there are troubles in the fighting in the famiies. Jerry tries to get the people get along on the show, but some people on the show doesn't see eye to eye on alot of things. I like some of the looks he gives his guest when they do something that is unusual.

    you can tell he was a politician, and I'm glad someone else commented how they only let you go to one on the ratings. hide show

    You can tell by how he makes you think he actually cares about the people on the show. He almost ran for governor here in Ohio. I think I would have had to move out of state if someone like him was governor. A typically liberal, punishing people for doing well by giving them higher taxes, not realizing there are people making way less than him, that will be taxed and it does hurt them eventhough they make a good income. With his show I used to like it, but it was the same thing over and over, and it was like a circus. I even liked the movie, but it just showed how he acts most of the time during his show. I haven't heard of him doing anything personally for people, just exploiting them on television.

    Overused and overrated is what Jerry Springer is. hide show

    Jerry Springer is by far the worst "talk show" person ever! All he does is start a whole bunch of junk and makes people tell the whole world their business on television. Honestly, I have no idea how this man is making money. I think he's just getting money because TV producers feel sorry for him. I really hope thats the case! Jerry Springer is nosy, putting his nose in other people's love and marriage problems to broadcast them all over the world. He's just disgusting. The one and only reason I'm giving him a 1/10 (which is generous) is because tv.com's dumb rating scale won't let me score any lower.
