"I'll try anything once." LOL!! My dawg!

On some of the more recent (say around 2007) Jerry Springer shows, the TS guests were VERY hot!! One of the girls went by the name "Precious". I can't remember the others.

Ben and Bluesoul, nice vids. Bluesoul, you're right: really nice moment!
Yes, of course, Ben, Jerry Springer's stuff has changed. Nowaday it's a glorified spectacle for the children of the Net. We, children of tv, were quite a bit more modest in public demonstrations...

I had forgotten just how much I was into Mimi Marks and Ruby Redd. Thanks for posting this Ben!!!

No problem. It popped up as a related video. Mimi and Maya Diamond did it for me. Stunning.

Unfortunately, Jessica Jazz Ross (whose father was on that episode in full support) passed away...I think. Can any of the Chi-town folk confirm that?

Never realized Springer was like this. Shame it couldn't have stayed this way.

Donahue and Geraldo were like that before him...

Jerry did not change as much as his audience and his guests did. People chose to clown and carry on, and he did not stop them.

They're all a bunch of fucking bloodsuckers, who enjoy stonings and crucifixions! The only person who was sensible enough to get out of this shitty business is Oprah. To me, it was a woman's show, of course. BAOWWWWRING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But I always admired the woman for the gamble she took at a time when these tv lynchings were popular: she just decided it was wrong. And that is why Oprah got to have so much credibility -and well deserved credibility. Don't get me wrong, I hated that show. But the lady was outstanding to me.
As to Springer, he just decided to the opposite: just go for it and make a total farce out of it. For some reason, it just works, and I suspect it has something to do with the Net generation...

Christ! I have a whole lot of trouble distinguishing between our adorable Ben with our new "Ben from LA". Willie, please, reconsider! or make the Ben your whole name!

I WAS going to use "Benjamin in Los Angeles"...but I didn't feel like typing all of that. Just watch for my signature; there's always a picture.

Donahue and Geraldo were like that before him...People forget about these 2.

Right Ben. We'll get used to it... :)

[youngblood61]

Don't forget about early Oprah!

Donahue was a gentleman who truly cared about the human condition. Geraldo was,is,and always has been a total jerk.

I don't know if people on the West Coast ever got to see him, but when Springer and those guys were starting out, there was a guy out of New Jersey named Morton Downey Jr. who was doing trash before it became the thing to do. That show literally stole pieces of your soul. Then everyone slowly started to copy him, except maybe Oprah.

I was trying to think of his name yesterday. But yes Morton Downey Jr. was the guy who started the whole shock style that got copied. He was real in your face verbal gunslinger type.

I got to admit I watched his show, but he put himself out there too. He did not just sit back and play carnival barker like Jerry, Jenny, and the rest of the format cast of characters ultimately sunk to.

As for Opera, she has a different schtick all together. Much more subtle.
Donahue was the only one I really respected.

I'm on the west coast, and I remember Morton Downey Jr...and Wally George for that matter. What assholes!

A great parody...

I remember Gia Darling was on Sally Jesse as "Alexandria". Anyone remember that or the year? 1995?

I could be wrong, but recall seeing Domino Presley on Springer years ago. She claimed that the was living in Georgia, and I don't think she had done any porn yet. I remember being impressed with her beauty. Then when she started doing porn, and her beautiful face reminded me of the show.

That really happened. The clip used to be on YouTube, but has since been taken down.
