Springer gets daytime show in Britain

Tabloid TV king Jerry Springer is to host a daytime talk show on British television.

Commercial network ITV said Springer would present a morning show for a month-long run in May or June. The programme will fill the slot vacated by Trisha, a long-running British talk show. ITV said the new show would be tamer than Springer's trashy US programme, which is famous for raucous audiences and raunchy topics such as "Pregnant by a Transsexual" and "I Married A Horse".
