| | Jerry Springer - The Opera - Richard Thomas/Stewart Lee (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23) |
 | | The television program, The Jerry Springer Show, is undeniably a phenomenon, an odious curiosity made up of equal parts unprincipled exploitation, unbridled cynicism, and unrepentant pandering to the basest nature of television audiences, both at home and in the studio. |
 | | Presiding over this display is Springer, a smarmy interlocutor who feigns sympathy for his guests as his questions lead them to the rehearsed disclosures. |
 | | Springer raises hypocrisy to new levels, lending credence to his political ambitions at a time when hypocrisy seems a prerequisite for elective office in the United States. |
