Article: Springer to Host `America's Got Talent'

LOS ANGELES - Jerry Springer is taking on another TV show.

"The Jerry Springer Show" host and "Dancing with the Stars" alum will be the new frontman of "America's Got Talent," NBC's Craig Plestis announced Monday.

Springer is "the perfect ringmaster" for the TV talent competition, Plestis said in a statement. "To say the least, he is known for presiding over an unpredictable show where the unexpected is the typical order of each day."

Springer has hosted "The Jerry Springer Show" for 16 years.
