For those not at the height of its popularity, Jerry Springer was so big in syndication that the show’s security guard, Steve Wilkos, got his own spin-off talk show that has now run for 16 years and over 2,200 episodes. pic.twitter.com/JvGou7FbSv

Steve Wilkos was a former Chicago cop and security guard for “The Jerry Springer Show” before he started his own show in 2007 called “The Steve Wilkos Show.” The show is adapted from the “Steve to the Rescue” segment he once did for “The Jerry Springer Show.”
“Besides my father, Jerry is the most influential man in my life. Everything I have today, I owe to Jerry,” Wilkos said in a statement to Page Six. “He is the smartest, most generous, kindest person I have ever known. My wife [Rachelle Wilkos] and I was devastated. We will miss him very much.”
Montel Williams, who currently hosts “Military Makeover: Operation Career” on Lifetime, also released a statement, saying his “thoughts and prayers go out to the Jerry Springer family.”

Canadian professional wrestler Adam “Edge” Copeland shared a photo of himself posing next to the late talk show host on Instagram. “Jerry is a fun person to work with. He understands us, let’s go with an odd sense of humor. Or simply don’t want to hurt our feelings and smile through suffering,” he wrote. “Rest in power Jerry.”
As Jerry would say, “Until next time, take care of yourself. And each other.”
