He sure had a good run.
Jack of all trades.

From the OP article:

Following his political career, Springer became a news anchor and commentator at WLWT in the Ohio city...

What, not WKRP?

RIP

I thought his show was garbage, I can see how it would appeal to some people. He seemed like a nice guy and he didn't take himself too seriously. RIP.

I didn't care for the show either however i have seen a couple of the more, if that is possible, weird ones.

They were all people who were told which roll they'd be playing. Low brow trash. I've no idea what kind of a judge he was. Nor city councilman, nor mayor, for that matter.

Low brow trash apparently attracts viewers. If it didn't there wouldn't be so many ridiculous reality shows now.

This would be true.  And I'll admit to being trashy enough to having viewed 2 or 3 of his programs.  Ever watch something on TV, and just feel yourself degrading by the minute?

He and Geraldo belong in the same swamp.

I've seen snippets of his show over the years when I've been in a waiting room for something or other and it was on their tv.  I was all  lol.

It appears to be one way to tell a jew program. I have never been able to watch his show for longer that it took to find the remote. tt was pure garbage. Sorry he died though.

No idea why it lasted as long as it did.
