As of 2015, Jerry Springer was still on TV. Sister-mothers were still fighting with brother-husbands. After 25 seasons, people still couldn’t get enough of Redneck Gladiator.

The former Democratic mayor of Cincinnati and news anchor has also hosted America’s Got Talent, because if anyone knows about talent, it’s Jerry Springer. Bouncer Steve Wilkos also got his own show.
