Jerry Springer
Talk-show host
When Springer left his respectable career as a politician-turned-newsman in Cincinnati, his plan was to come to Chicago, host a talk show and become the new Phil Donahue. We needn’t point out he went down a different path. Nevertheless, he still has talk-show envy: His hero is that deity we call Oprah. “If you asked someone who lived in Springfield, Illinois, in the 1850s who was their hero—what if they didn’t mention Abraham Lincoln? You’d say, ‘What?’ So, [mine is] Oprah.”—David Tamarkin
Springer hosts The Jerry Springer Show every weekday on WPWR and America’s Got Talent every Wednesday on NBC.
