The Jerry Springer Show Background

Being in the TV show audience for a taping of The Jerry Springer Show can be a great deal of fun to watch. People who go to watch this show being taped know that they will have a fun time listening to the families stories, seeing guests flip out at one another and listen to a great deal of yelling and very little listening. One of the great attractions of this show is seeing physical violence erupt live on stage, right in front of them, usually caused when one guest drops an eff-bomb or makes a slur against another. Both Springer and Steve Wilkos tend to use their guest's misfortunes as a way to generate TV ratings, but both take care not to go too far and insult or degrade their guests.The tapings are often described as slow-motion car crashes that go at full speed at the moment of impact.

The TV audience waits with baited breath for that moment of anarchy, and when it comes, it is welcomed into the world with all the glee of birthday party or a pretty view. The production has a lot of security guards, so the audience feels safe enough to yell at guests. In some cases the audience members arguments with guests becomes part of the show. Food and beverages are supplied to keep momentum going throughout the show.

The Jerry Springer Show audience is diverse in all races and ages from 18 years old up to 50 years old. The audience is drawn by the exaggerated drama that occurs on stage along with the security that must always be near. Everyone usually screams JERRY when a verbal or physical altercation breaks out causing the entire audience to be on their feet in seconds.

Jerry's show started as a political TV talk show in 1991, but ratings dropped quickly and the producers quickly morphed the show into a low-road production where they started getting better ratings when they covered low-brow content like who-is-the-baby-daddy and my-girlfiend-cheated-me-with-my-father. Surprisingly, on the early format shows, guests included Oliver North and Jesse Jackson. The show became more successful as it became more lowbrow, with an emphasis on infidelity, lewdness, and sex. Its guests were typically blue collar people and it seemed that there was an untapped market of family dysfunction, which the Springer Show leveraged to the hilt.

The show has a special love for trailer trash folk, especially when confronted on the Springer stage by family members or adversaries. The show format also works well when a spouse or family member has secrets to divulge concerning adultery, homosexuality, prostitution, transvestism, hate group membership or other controversial situations. These confrontations often lead to on-stage arguments, shouting, profanities, chair-throwing, fist-fights, violence and sometimes the removal of clothing.
