Jerry Springer will return to TV with his own courtroom show

You can call him Judge Jerry now. #JerrySpringer, whose eponymous (and infamous) talk show was canceled earlier this year, is returning to syndicated TV next fall in his own courtroom show from NBC Universal. As Judge Jerry, Springer will hear cases and render a verdict. “For the first time in my life, I am going to be called honorable,” Springer said in a statement. “My career is coming full circle and I finally get to put my law degree to use after all these years.” Judge Jerry has already been sold in 75% of the country to major station groups. His half-hour, daily court show will tape in front of a live studio audience at the Stamford Media Center in Connecticut, home to The Steve Wilkos Show and Maury. In June, NBC Universal made the decision to stop producing The Jerry Springer Show, which had aired in syndication since 1991. Springer, 74, did not release a statement about the show’s cancellation but had previously commented about rumors of the show’s demise to ET‘s Kevi...

Megyn Kelly and the Overwhelming Whiteness of TV News

We need more voices on our television screens that reflect where this country really is and where it’s going, writes Stereo Williams. Megyn Kelly is out at NBC. Things aren’t official as of yet, but numerous reports indicate the host won’t be returning to her 9 a.m. show Megyn Kelly Today. NBC News bet big on Megyn Kelly when the network lured her from Fox News with a three-year, $69 million deal, seeking a hike in Today ratings that were already strong. They also expected an anchor for a 60 Minutes-style Sunday evening news magazine. But that Sunday show crashed and burned, as did ratings for the 9 a.m. hour of Today during Kelly’s tenure—according to Nielsen, the show fell about 14 percent to 2.4 million viewers. The New York Times reported that NBC News president Noah Oppenheim and Megyn Kelly Today executive producer Jackie Levin told staffers on Thursday to prep for a little hiatus: “Mr. Oppenheim and Ms. Levin also informed them that they would be moved into new jobs at the ...

Megyn Kelly Demands $50 Million Settlement from NBC

Megyn Kelly is a day away from settling with NBC, and we've just learned something shocking -- NBC was paying her $25 million a year and the network may end up settling for close to $50 MILLION. Sources familiar with the negotiations tell TMZ ... Megyn's deal is 3 years firm, and she has around 1 year and 10 months to go. We're told her lawyer, Bryan Freedman, is going to have a call with NBC brass tomorrow and demand the network pay her full remaining salary, or face a lawsuit. We're told Freedman's case is that Kelly was targeted early on after she made critical remarks about Matt Lauer on her show after he was fired for sexual harassment. Lauer was well-liked at NBC, and the staff and talent became royally pissed off at Kelly because they felt she was attacking Lauer "with glee." Our sources say Kelly believes her comments about NBC News Chairman Andy Lack pissed off Lack and other brass, and they had it out for her. As for ending the relationsh...
