Book Description
America's most watched and controversial talk show host takes you into the circus that is his life. A behind-the-scenes, uninhibited look at the craziest show on Earth. Who isn't watching "Jerry Springer"? The fastest rising show in the history of television (the first in ten years to overtake "Oprah" in the ratings), the fights, the fans and the flying chairs have become part of the cultural language of America. Controversial for its violence, voyeurism and vulgarity, it is these very elements that boost its continued success. There is no better moment for this book -- an uninhibited, uncensored, never-before-revealed look at what goes on behind the scenes at the circus maximus by the ringmaster himself. He will share stories from some of his favorite shows and most memorable guests, as well as the worst. The man who has sold one million copies of his "Too Hot For TV" video through direct response only, the man whose movie based on the show is due out for Christmas, for the very first time dares to remove the bleeps and bars that hide away the real action. Hilarious, outrageous, and entertaining, this unforgettable insider's look at the craziest show on Earth and its key players is bound for bestsellerdom.
