Apparently he's giving up on the incestuous lesbian cheerleaders and moving into the world of REAL sleaze:

After 13 years of providing a daily dose of punch-throwing midgets and psychic strippers, the Jerry Springer Show may soon come to an end, its host said in Melbourne yesterday.
Jerry Springer is considering running as a Democratic Senate candidate in Ohio, which would leave him no time to interview cheating boyfriends, conjoined twins and the like. "I have to decide sometime in July," he said. "We're testing the waters now, giving talks and polling. If I decide to run, this coming season will be my last season." The research, he said, was "so far, so good".
Though best known as the face of what the US TV Guide labelled "the worst TV show of all time", as a young man Springer was a serious politician, helping on Bobby Kennedy's presidential campaign in 1968, and becoming mayor of Cincinnati in 1977, aged 33. [...]
Unlike most politicians, Springer is not unduly concerned about skeletons in his closet. "That's one big closet, buddy. That's a walk-in closet," he said. In his previous political career he survived the revelation he had paid for "extras" in a massage parlour, and in 1998 he was secretly filmed having sex with a porn star who appeared on his show. "Everybody knows it," he said. "That's the one advantage. What are you going to say about me that people don't already suspect?"
