Production
Format
A typical Episode of Springer begins with a title card that warns parents that the event may contain content that is inappropriate for children. Springer then enters the stage by sliding down the pole of the stripper, greeted by a standing audience (made up of mostly college students) pumping air with their right hand, shouting "Jer-ry !, Jer-ry!". He then shook hands with the people up front and, after that, the audience was quiet. Springer then welcomes viewers at the event, introduces certain situations, or topics, and interviews some guests who experience such situations. After completing the interview, Springer announces the entrance to another guest that the first guest wants to face. The second guest enters the stage, and a confrontation between two guests usually happens, often breaking down into fights that are finally broken down by on-set security personnel.
After the fight was extinguished, Springer interviewed the second guest about the situation facing the first guest. In many episodes, there was a third guest involved in the situation, who was also interviewed by Springer, and often took part in the battle on stage. Also not rare fourth guest involved. Often guests will be given a cup of water after a fight, as if to "cool off", but inevitably, guests throw each other water, thus continuing the quarrel.
When African-American women battled, sometimes, they would tear up the wigs they wore and occasionally, the wigs themselves were thrown into the audience. When there are two people fighting, sometimes women will take advantage of the guards who break the males who will allow them to fight again. When women battled, usually with one or both of them grabbing the hair and not releasing it.
Some fights even occur between a man and a woman, especially when the woman is revealed to be transgender and the man is not aware of it.
At the end of each segment, Springer will ask what will happen to the participants from that point. Usually, they will come back together, but more often not, the relationship is over forever.
There will be repeated acts involved in the story, one of which is that the doorbell outside the stage will sound and Jerry will announce in an exaggerated voice, "The Doorbell! I'll get it!"
Often, this delivery will not be a good sign for guests, therefore, at best, to be a cover for recognition of some kind of mistake made against a guest, or, at worst, something that will reveal someone who will brag about mistakes; or something that would be considered an insult (ie: a mother called a prostitute) to a guest.
Occasionally, guests will bring wreaths, candy boxes, (for a story, even a scrapbook or photo album) or stuffed animals, among other things, as offerings to the person they want. Almost certainly, this will be destroyed by outsiders who are angry. Sometimes, the flower bouquet itself will be used as a weapon to the interrupting enemy.
Sometimes, the fight itself is where the scorned guest will be on the catwalk on stage where they will throw things, such as eggs or other food, to the target of their anger. Once finished there, guests will return to the stage, where regular fights will begin.
On various occasions, some guests will read poetry, rap, or even sing (more often with State Music) in an attempt to plead their case to those they hurt. While some succeed, others do not, and when guitars are used as instruments, they are always destroyed by pillars by the sneered.
During situations where the wedding will take place, there will be a gate decorated with flowers for the engaged guests to pronounce their promise to each other (in previous seasons, a certified minister will join the involved couple and marriage is considered legal). Fights are more messy during situations such as food, cookies and sometimes, marriage blows thrown at each other.
Other variations in the wedding scenario are on Thanksgiving and Christmas themed events, where dysfunctional families will gather on the stage around the dining table, filled with turkey and all the jewelry materials, and inevitably, the screams and screams will degenerate into full- against food scale.
There are other situations that include physical actions (grappling in food or some other substance, shooting baskets, beer pong, etc.) in the hope of being with someone; contests involving strippers; and sometimes, there will be a "twerking" showdown. On rare occasions, there will be a story where someone actually wants to be with someone else and that person will accept in various situations like three women in the bathroom, or in bed. Sometimes, this will be more successful, although there are some situations that will end with a boomerang, especially when there are members of the opposite sex (in this case, usually men) involved.
Sometimes, during the marriage proposal, the audience itself will take part in it in some way or another, encouraging potential betrothed parties to say yes.
This cycle (in its many and varied forms) is repeated for every set of guests on the show. After all the guests have told their story, there is usually a segment of "questions and answers" where members of the audience ask questions to guests that are relevant to their situation, although usually the question is meant to insult a guest or for a woman to blink (show her breasts) "Jerry Beads" (Mardi Gras-style beads with event logos).
The following seasons will have men "daydreaming" the crowd (exposing their backside to the audience), with the intention of getting "Jerry Beads". Also in later seasons, Springer will select a group of students from various colleges and universities around the metropolitan area of ​​New York City and from adjacent New England (The Tri-State area of ​​NY, NJ and Connecticut is where the Springer Show was recorded). The greeting was instituted after moving to Connecticut.
However, some members of an adult audience may ask serious questions (mostly in the previous season), who are ridiculed by audiences for "Go to Oprah !". The producers then select the person with the most memorable (or insulting) question to say, "We'll be right back with Jerry's last thought." Springer then ended the show by giving a formal lecture, sitting alone on stage, on the principles of subtle values ​​in terms of the guests displayed. He ends the segment with a concluding remark, "Until next time, take care of yourself and each other," which is the line of his consent during his days as a broadcaster in Cincinnati.
In general, Springer tends to present his program standing with alley steps between seating areas rather than having a podium or mark on the main stage. This is considered to protect him from the potential violence that occurred on stage.
Sometimes events will look back on previous episodes. It has been renamed to Classic Springer , some with fake theme and patina Masterpiece Theater . These events are interspersed with comments from Springer themselves, usually before and after commercial breaks.
Set
According to NBC, the set for the show has undergone two major changes over the years. When the first show started in 1991, it was very basic with white walls, in an attempt to capture the nuances of Donahue's fellow talk show , Jerry's haircuts and glasses even seem to make him look like Phil Donahue. The general display of this set was brought when the series first moved to Chicago in September 1992, with a rugged open air display and brightly colored shapes.
In the fall of 1994, a few months after the series underwent a reshuffle of its format, the studio received a makeover to look warmer and more inviting, complete with brick walls, artwork, and bookshelves. The stage walls are designed in such a way that they can be projected out into the audience, making room for the catwalks used in events such as the 1998 episode of Stripper Wars! . At the end of 2000, the whole series was changed again to its current "industry" look, a change initially greeted by the 1999-2000 season downgrades. In 2007 the set was slightly changed, with larger studio audience, larger stage, and balcony, which was on stage and ended up at the stake. Springer now uses this as its main entrance by sliding down the pole. Logo and stage design have been taken to a new studio in Stamford, Connecticut with just a few changes.

Steve Wilkos was the security director from 1994-2007. She now hosts her own show, The Steve Wilkos Show , spin off from Springer . Pete Kelly is the security director from 2007-13. In Season 23, the two main security guards were guards Jason Brandstetter and Dan Peterson.
History
1991
Jerry Springer debuted on September 30, 1991, with a family reunion as the topic of his first show. Initially, Springer was distributed by Multimedia Entertainment, then went to Universal earlier and then to Studios USA.
Initially only seen in four markets where Multimedia's TV station, dramatically different from today's version of the show. It started as an issue-oriented talk show and politics, a longer version of the commentary that has gained popularity of local Springer as a reporter and anchor (unlike Donahue during this time), and for the first season, even recorded at the former Springer station, WLWT in Cincinnati. Early guests included Oliver North and Jesse Jackson, and topics include homeless and political weapons, as well as the social effects of rock music, featuring GG Allin's surprise rock star, El Duce from The Mentors and GWAR as guests.
1992-1999
For the second season in the fall of 1992, the series was purchased by NBC owned and operated stations, allowing it to eventually reach a full national distribution, and production was transferred to the old house at NBC Tower Chicago (with Springer leaving the old position in WLWT to do so). The original creator and executive producer Burt Dubrow became Vice President of Sr in Multimedia Entertainment and continued to watch the show while bringing Terry Weible Murphy to EP. In April 1994, Multimedia threatened a cancellation if the ratings did not improve in November, leading to massive improvements that saw Murphy's departure and replacement by fellow Springer producer Richard Dominick, under Dubrow's responsibilities.
The search for higher rankings pushed the program gradually toward provocative topics, becoming more successful because it was directed to younger viewers (exemplified after popular talk show Ricki Lake) by introducing more controversial topics. However, there are still some traditional and serious topics that are featured on the current show even with the format changes.
In December 1994, the show began featuring topics such as "My girlfriend turned out to be a girl" and "I want my man to stop watching porn!", As well as investigating the sexier: bigger or smaller breasts in women.
In 1995, there were two performances by the Central Comedy transgender star Jade Esteban Estrada. It became a "strange show" where guests sought their 15-minute fame through discussion and demonstration of aberrant behavior. In 1996, Springer wanted people to send videotapes to him explaining why they wanted Springer to record a show at their home. His tremendous success has made him broadcast in many countries. The show gained so much popularity that for the time being it was the best talk show in the United States.
In 1998, several stations carrying Springer, including WLWT in Cincinnati where Springer was a newsreader, refused to bring the episode "I Married A Horse", which caused it to be withdrawn before it aired.
In 1999, the show was parodied in Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me , with Dr. Evil and his son Scott discuss crime. With Jerry, Steve Wilkos and Todd Schultz playing in the film.
Beginning 2000s
In 2000, Springer was given a five-year, $ 30 million contract extension that paid him $ 6 million a year. That same year, the married couple, Ralf and Eleanor Panitz, were guests on an episode of the event entitled "Mistresses Secrets Behind" with Panitz's former wife, Nancy Campbell-Panitz, where they complained about Ms. Campbell-Panitz behaviors and accuses him of stalking them. Hours after being aired on July 24, 2000, Ms. Campbell-Panitz was found dead in a third house scrambling, and Florida police immediately confirmed that they were treating death as murder. Then it was reported that Mr. Panitz, who had issued a first-degree murder order for death, tried to escape to Canada to avoid prosecution. After the news of the 52-year-old woman's murder, a spokesman for the program issued a statement saying it was "a terrible tragedy."
In August 2000, Springer appeared on CNN's Larry King Live to discuss the incident, claiming it was "nothing to do with the show" and that his talk show did not glorify deviant behavior. On March 27, 2002, after 10 days of trial and 18 hours of deliberations from the jury, Panitz was found guilty of the murder and sentenced to life in prison.
In 2001, efforts by groups such as the Parents Television Council and the American Family Association forced some advertisers to reduce or discontinue their sponsors from Springer . In the United Kingdom, the Independent Television Commission banned Springer and other tabloid talk shows on television during school hours in response to many parental complaints and concerns about potential children's exposure to obscene content. (There is a short English version made for ITV called The Springer Show that is lighter and more stained). The event also topped the 2002 magazine list of "The Worst TV Shows Ever"; for a time, the show itself will even often boast about this rank in its opening credits as a form of self-cessation. The phrase "Jerry Springer Nation" began to be used by some people who saw the program as a bad influence on US morality. Additionally, the phrase has shown the Springer association with the typical "lowbrow" entertainment type.
In 2003, the British opera inspired by the series, Jerry Springer: The Opera , started playing in the UK. That same year, it was revealed that a group of guests from Hayward, California forged a "love triangle" for an appearance on two episodes of the show; one guest in the group was killed, but police Hayward decided that his appearance was not related to his murder.
In 2005, security director Steve Wilkos became some sort of sect figure himself, and would close every show running down the aisle in casual conversation with one of the more colorful guests from the previous episode. He also occasionally hosts events. The episodes that he is hosting are meant to be more serious in tone than the regular Springer show. Wilkos left Springer at the end of the 2006-2007 season to pursue his own talk show, The Steve Wilkos Show .
Mid-2000
In 2005, the program became the subject of criticism in Bernard Goldberg's <100 100 Disruptive Americans , called "the lowest living form of TV" and Springer himself was ranked 32nd and labeled "American Pioneer". Goldberg also claims that Springer consciously exploits the shortcomings of his guests and the folly of his listeners, also citing controversial episodes that revolve around the man who married his horse.
In January 2006, the event was renewed for the sixteenth season, ending speculation that Springer would leave talk shows to run as an elected official in Ohio, where he is a former mayor of Cincinnati. At this moment, the show begins to make fun of itself using the slogan "One Hour Your Life, You Will Never Go Back" and "Throw Out Technology Since 1991." On May 12, 2006, Springer celebrated his show in 3,000 episodes by having a party at the event (no one but Jerry appeared humorously), and showed many clips, including rare excerpts from the show. 2006 also saw the addition of fan favorite, Reverend Shnorr, drunken drunken character who was often involved in heated confrontations with guests while bringing fresh comedy to the show. The character was created by Promotional Director Brian Schnoor while studying the Improv at the famous Second City Theater in Chicago in the 1990s. In December 2007, Rev Shnorr merchandise sold out by selling Security T-shirts on the NBC website.
In the UK, meanwhile, the Commercial High Court trial scheduled for summer 2006 to settle a dispute between Flextech Television and NBC Universal over Flextech in 2002 canceled a 1998 contract to broadcast Springer in the UK as a new episode manufactured in the US
In 2007, Wilkos security director left Jerry Springer to host his own syndicated talk show. The Steve Wilkos Show was also shot at the NBC Tower in Chicago and produced by Richard Dominick, who continues to produce Springer too. On July 15, 2007, it was announced that Springer was picked up by NBC-Universal through the 2009-2010 season. Also, VH1 runs the documentary series The Springer Hustle, going "behind the scenes" from the show, after having run other Springer-related documentary films in 2005 titled When Jerry Springer Mastered the World America's Got Talent leading to an increase in the number of viewers for the first quarter of 2007. Steve Wilkos filled in for Springer during America's Got Talent's initial .
Security staff for the program were also given new additions, which began in the seventeenth season, three female security guards added. Certain professional athletes have come on the show as inactive security guards for several episodes. They include hockey players Joe Corvo and Adam Burish, and mixed martial arts fighter Andrei Arlovski, Shonie Carter, and Bas Rutten.
Certain advertisers continue to avoid buying advertising time for Springer . However, the event continues to maintain a fixed rank in the "Sweep" period of February 2008.
Executive producer Richard Dominick resigned shortly after the start of the 18th season; Rachelle Consiglio, wife of Steve Wilkos and the old Senior Producer, succeeded Dominick. Decorative sets added during season 17 have been removed.
2009 to present
On May 19, 2009, the show recorded his last episode on NBC Tower at WMAQ-TV in Chicago, Illinois, where the video was recorded since 1992, in the middle of the second season. Beginning with the 2009-10 season, production was transferred to the Rich Forum in Stamford, Connecticut after NBCUniversal received a tax credit from the state of Connecticut to move Springer, along with Maury and Steve Wilkos to State of the Nile, along with NBC Sports. Jerry was quoted as saying he was unhappy with the move, but understood the financial reasons being done, and worked to secure jobs for them on his staff who wanted to move in with the show. Since moving to Stamford, the show has undergone a number of changes; sets have become more colorful with new lighting, new seats for guests, two new security guards, and a change to the iconic theme music.
The show aired the 20th anniversary episode, recorded in Times Square on October 27, 2010. Springer's first twenty-first season of September 19, 2011, debuted new graphics. On September 17, 2012, Jerry Springer began airing on the big screen, along with the premiere of the 22nd season. It broadcasts in high definition 1080i.
In October 2014, it was announced that the event has been updated by NBC Universal through September 2018. The 25th season of Jerry Springer began on September 21, 2015. With 25th birthday celebrations, Rachelle Wilkos, wife of Steve Wilkos leaving as an Executive Producer of the event. Wilkos will transition full-time as executive producer of her husband's event, as Kerry Shannon, another old producer promoted as the new executive producer of the event. Despite his departure from the show, Wilkos briefly remained with the show as a consultant.
Controversy on authenticity and violence
In the late 1990s, the show was quite popular and controversial, so much that it caused contemporaries like Jenny Jones, Maury Povich, Bill Cunningham, and Ricki Lake to "transform" their own performances to improve ratings. However, the main character on television, along with many religious leaders, has called for the elimination of the event and considered it a bad taste.
In 1997 and 1998, the show reached its peak, at one point becoming the first talk show in years to beat The Oprah Winfrey Show. It featured an almost non-stop battle between guests - 5 to 12 per day for one week April 1998 - and religious figures and even other TV figures complained. The Chicago City Council suggested that if the fighting and throwing of seats were real, guests should be arrested for violent conduct in the city, as Ed Burke city councilor is concerned over the fact that unattended Chicago police officers serve as security guards for the failed program taking action law against the belligerent guests. Springer explained that the violence on the program "looks real" to him, also states that the battle on the show "never, ever, exalts violence". Finally, the City Council chose not to pursue the matter. Because of this investigation and other external and internal pressures, the battle was released from the show for a while before being allowed back in the less violent nature. In the years of the show after softening the fight, viewers have refused but remain respected by newer daytime television standards.
The debate over the authenticity of the battle continues. In an interview, a production assistant stated that "we are doing everything in our power to filter people out," and a seemingly unauthentic guest has been kicked off the stage. Marvin Kitman, television critic for the Newsday newspaper, felt that the fight had been choreographed before. Christopher Sterling from the media department of George Washington University compared the program with professional wrestling; some manufacturers later claimed the fight at the show was inspired by fights and corners at WWE. Sixteen former Jerry Springer guests were interviewed in various US media such as Entertainment news program Extra , Rolling Stone Magazine , and Newspaper New York Post , claimed there were "quota fights" for each episode and that they and other guests were encouraged to fight each other. In the past, manufacturers have ordered professional wrestlers like The Iron Sheik, Razor Ramon (albeit in non-combat roles), Jamie Dundee, 2 Tuff Tony, Madman Pondo, and One Man Crew (also a hip hop artist), as both female wrestlers and midget wrestlers; one guest will be the unknown Justin Roberts, the main ring announcer for WWE. Springer will make guest appearances during WWE Raw on two occasions.
Springer stated in an interview in October 2000 with Reuters news agency:
I will never watch my show. I am not interested in. It was not addressed to me. This is just a silly show.
Sensor
Springer airs on different stations in the United States at different times of the day, whether in the morning, afternoon or late at night. All Springer syndicated episodes are censored, regardless of time, to comply with US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) broadcast courtesy standards.
Initially, most profanities are silenced, but then episodes bleeped for explicit language, sometimes in such a way that speech becomes incomprehensible. In addition, nudity, partial exposure to the breast or buttocks and pixelated middle fingers. After the old producer Richard Dominick left, the show returned to the traditional style of bleeping, which still exists today. The New York Times report from April 1998 found that each episode had about 85 to 130 bleep.
Springer himself has stated that, while the show is a bit wild, there are certain things that are not allowed. Viewers are not allowed to shout anything that encourages or supports violence among the guests. Furniture can be removed, but the chairs are deliberately large to block its use as a weapon. Men who commit violence against women can never be accepted, in-or outside the camera; in Ringmaster, Springer mentions that he always asks if she wants to file a lawsuit.
Spin off
Too Hot for TV
During the most popular era of the late 1990s, The Jerry Springer Show released a videocassette and then DVD was marketed as Too Hot for TV. They contain naked, sensory, and senseless nudity edited from broadcast to conform to FCC standards for broadcast decency. The release sold very well and inspired a similar set of other series. Finally, the event started producing the same pay-per-view/video "uncensored" on special request as well. In 2015, Springer brought the Too Hot format for TV to WWE Network for a series of episodes featuring the most controversial segments of WWE.
The Springer Show
In 1999, ITV made 12 episodes of the UK-based version Jerry Springer UK, filmed in the same studio as his performances in the US.
In 2005, another English version was shown for ITV titled The Springer Show instead of Trisha Goddard , who defected to Channel 5. Initially Springer only signed a one-month deal. This beat his talk-show rival Trisha Goddard five to one in the rankings, though it was a softer and more melodic version of the US show. The series aired from June 4, 2005 to July 6, with the remaining 10 episodes aired from September 5 to September 16, 2005, when The Jeremy Kyle Show completely replaced the show.
