00:00After this, I'm never talking about this show ever again.
00:03Jerry Springer!
00:07I don't think anybody knew how crazy this show was going to be.
00:11I'd like to take this opportunity to apologize for everything I've ever done.
00:15I have ruined the culture.
00:19At the beginning of 1992, Jerry Springer was coming to Chicago to launch a talk show.
00:26We were this little band of crazy people just trying to survive the week.
00:31All I had to do was convince him, let's make it wild.
00:35Variety show in a weekly magazine, compare the fights to pro wrestling.
00:39Teeth were knocked out.
00:40It really was the modern version of the Roman Coliseum.
00:44Springer's the first talk show host ever to knock Oprah Winfrey off her throne as the queen of daytime talk.
00:50He became a cultural icon.
00:53I want the show to demonstrate outrageous sincerity.
00:58The bigger that show got, it raised questions about what really went on backstage.
01:06The producers were coaching us on what to say and how to act.
01:10They weren't interested in what kind of impact it was going to have on you.
01:16I don't think my mother had any idea what she was walking into.
01:20Some stories went too far.
01:25The man who married his horse and wants to come on the show.
01:29This kind of trash television will not be towered.
01:31I just wish they could go back and say to her, don't do it.
01:36This was the most vile and grotesque freak show that's ever been on television.
01:42We just started pushing the needle towards red.
01:45Let's see how far we can push it.
01:50I would hope that you would feel some sense of responsibility.
01:54It's a television show. It's a television show. We will all survive it.
