Here’s a cartoon of a the mayor of Cincinnati.  Of course, after he was mayor for one year, he got into journalism, and from journalism, go into talk show hosting.

Remember when Oliver North and Jesse Jackson were guests on the Jerry Springer Show?  No?  That’s because his show wasn’t very highly rated in its early life.  It was pretty much a copy of Phil Donahue’s show.  In fact, the Cincinnati TV station that aired Springer’s show styled his hair and got him glasses to mimic Donahue.

This cartoon, of course, captures the Jerry Springer that we all love or hate.  The Springer from the late 90’s, where almost every show featured a guest trying to whack another guest with a chair.

The Stratosphere is a nice touch.  Our caricature stand is up there, and Mike tends to draw it in.  I bet he put it in Springer’s drawing on autopilot.  The tiny guy leaping off the tower is somehow paying attention to the foreground and validating it.
