When did Jerry Springer become a porn pusher?

[shortylickens]

And what happened to that role-model of journalistic integrity?

For reference: Hypnotizing Hotties is not as good as Bare & Bitter Beauties.

I've been watching Jerry for a long time.

The show changed from the Sally Raphael type venue @ '94 and never looked back.

It's not porn....just way dysfunctional families/people that want a free trip to Stamford, Connecticut. 🙂

He became a porn pusher when he has Bree Olson on his show.

I guess this isn't common knowledge these days, but Springer used to be the mayor of Cincinnati before he was caught with a hooker. It's only after that that his TV show began. So it's not like he had very high standards to begin with.

Actually, he was really well respected before the hooker incident. I believe he was the local news anchor for several years after his Mayoral tenure, and had developed something of a Ron Burgundy cult in Cincinnati.

He even had one of those very thick upstate New York, "fancy-talk accents" (George Plimpton, Katherine Hepburn, the Kennedys, John Kerry, etc.)

As far as I know, old-timers in Cincinnati still very much love the guy. People tend to think of him as one of the most accomplished mayors of any town.
