Whose frenetic talk show always ends on a quiet note with his "final thought"?

Jerry Springer's show. Excerpt from the article: "At age 33, he was one of the country's youngest mayors. Five years later, Springer launched his career in broadcasting as a political reporter and commentator on Cincinnati's WLWT-TV. He became anchor and managing editor in 1984 and was Cincinnati's top-rated news anchor until he relinquished the post in January 1993. During his tenure, Springer received seven Emmy Awards for his nightly commentaries, the forerunner to his "Final Thought," and was voted television's Best Anchor for five consecutive years by readers of Cincinnati Magazine.

Well...Since we are going down the "Bio" road of Jerry. Lets talk about his political career in Cincinnati. http://www.kewego.com/video/iLyROoaftMPk.html ".....Springer was elected to the Cincinnati city council in 1971 . He was forced to resign in 1974 after admitting to hiring a prostitute. The episode was uncovered when a police raid on a Fort Wright, Kentucky "massage parlor" unearthed a check Jerry Springer had written for its "services". Jerry Springer came clean at a press conference. His honesty helped him win back his seat in 1975. In 1977, he was chosen to serve one year as mayor by the City Council..... In 1982, Springer sought the Democratic nomination for Governor of Ohio. As part of the campaign, Springer appeared in a TV commercial where he admits that he once paid a prostitute for sex with a check. He used this admission as way of proving that he wasn't afraid of the truth "even if it hurts". After failing to win the party's nomination, Springer put his political career on hiatus. This is the Kind of Guy Politics TRULY needs. Jun 04 07, 11:43 AM
