waves a short while, the
ratings prove that he can
hold his own against the
other chatting pros. As the
new host on the daytime
lineup, he has learned how
to charm his guests and
challenge them at the
same time.

"I know that there is a
lot of competition out
there," says Mr. Springer,
who resides in Cincinnati
where he still anchors the
nightly news and com-
mutes to Chicago to tape
the talk show. "But we are
all different. I am differ-
ent from Phil who is dif-
ferent from Sally who is
different from Oprah. We
each have our own person-
alities, strengths and
approaches."

Mr. Springer, who has a
terrific rapport with the
audience and comes across
as compassionate and car-
ing, claims that his show
does not have a preoccupa-
tion with sex and is more
issue-oriented than some
of the others. "I'll be danc-
ing less with the
Chippendales than per-
haps someone else would,"
he says.
No doubt steamy confes-
sions and sordid details of
domestic conflicts revealed
by "real people" draw the
biggest audiences nowa-
days, and in order for Mr.
Springer's show to survive,
he admits he will have to
play the game. So far this
year he has talked to
mothers who are terminal-
ly ill, people who are ille-
gitimate, Siamese twins,
men who are attracted to
full-figured women and
homeless street kids.
Not much is taboo,
except deliberately setting
out to hurt someone, and
there are not too many
provocative themes that
he wouldn't touch includ-
ing racism and anti-
Semitism.
While giving hate
groups national exposure
is indeed controversial,
Mr. Springer believes it's
necessary to bring it all
out in the open. "It's really
important that the public
sees that this exists," he
says. "There is a tempta-
tion not to give these
people any publicity, but
the danger is that we will
ignore and therefore not
do anything about their
activities."
A recent show on racism
was his favorite. The
panel included members of
the KKK, a Nazi group, a

Jewish woman, a blaci -
woman and a lesbian.
"The conflict was very
enlightening," he says. "It
was the kind of show that
makes you sit down with
your children afterwards
and talk about the evils c .r
discrimination."
A child of Holocaust sur-
vivors, he knows only too
well what happens when
hate is perpetuated.
"Most of my family was
killed in the camps," he
says. "My parents were
German Jews and the only
survivors in their families.
They had a family-owned
shoe store there, and the
SS just showed up one day
and arrested everyone in
the store. My mom waE
hiding in the back, so she
didn't get hurt. My dad
escaped, too; but the Nazis
got everybody else. My
parents escaped to
England in August 1939,
and Hitler invaded Polanc
on Sept. 1."
Mr. Springer was bora
in London after his par-
ents fled Germany, and
was 5 years old when they
immigrated to America.
But the atrocity has had
an everlasting effect.
"When I was growing,
up, my parents never
talked about what ha, -
pened—it was too emotion-
al," says Mr. Springer who
has always felt very proud
of being Jewish, practices
his religion and neve,
works on the High
Holidays. "It wasn't unt 4 1
the end of their lives that
they opened up. Their
experience was over-
whelming, and it has had
the most profound influ
ence in my life in terms of
my politics and philoso-
phy.
"That experience made
me a liberal. We know bet-
ter than any other society
in the world what it's like
to be a victim of discrimi-
nation. That's why I want
to expose racism and anti-
Semitism. We need to
fight it on every level that
we can."
Mr. Springer wants his
wife and 16-year-old
daughter to have a happy
life, and he hopes that his
career continues to blos-
som.
"I am real lucky," he
smiles. "I get up in the
morning. I fly to Chicago.
do a national talk show. I
fly back to Cincinnati. I d.)
a news show. And on
weekends I see the
Bengals play. What a life!
I hope it lasts!" ❑
