I have to give it up to my former employer... he sure knows how to stay on TV

it turns out that Jerry Springer, Steve Wilkos, AND Maury Povich, the guys still hangin' on through the 90s serge of talk shows, just got their contracts renewed until 2014!

Woop! Let the white trash commence!

But, I have to say, Jerry Springer is probably the king of self-deprecating humor. He calls himself the "grandfather" of trash tv, as well as saying NUMEROUS times (jokingly) that he would never watch his own show.

But its amazing to watch a show whose first contract was for six weeks - then slowly but surely moved its way into today.. with four year renewals.

GOOD FOR YOU JERRY, and congratulations for creating the meaning of guilty pleasure tv. From a news anchor to America's favorite talk show host, you've had quite a ride.

Take a look at some awesome moments from Jerry Springer, and if I could recommend anything - friend Jerry and Steve Wilkos of facebook. They post three minute clips of their daily shows, and I have to say, its fun to get a little dose of trashy everyday.

Also- its really interesting to see the "journey" of Jerry Springer. Check out some earlier episodes - before it went into just all trash, it dealt with actual issues - such as racism.
