The launch of Jerry Springer's new persona has jennifer_dubois thinking about the last time he reinvented himself — and who he might have been if he had not

As a 2004 episode of “This American Life” poignantly chronicled, the original version of Jerry Springer was someone quite different from the figure we have come to know and love/abhor. At the time the episode aired, Springer was considering what some might not have known was a reentry into politics with a bid for an Ohio Senate seat. By then, Springer’s reputation as a sensational TV host had made him one of the more laughable potential candidates in American politics.
Instead — and not for the last time — Springer changed course. He held a press conference, owning up to what he did, and launched a spirited campaign to win his seat back. At a notorious St. Patrick’s Day parade, he endured mockery and jeers from the crowd . He withstood the derision and ridicule with grace and good humor — he even taped a parody credit-card commercial, pitching his product as a more discreet alternative to personal checks — and eventually won back the Cincinnati public.
