I do not understand. Was this on the Jerry Springer Show??? He is a Jew...of course!
That's exactly what I was thinking.
I don't think that Jerry Springer himself has anything to do with Jerry Springer: the Opera. I've some vague recollection of him disassociating himself from it, though I could be mistaken.
It's a British musical, co-written by a comedian called Stewart Lee who is a member of the British Humanist Association, naturally! David Soul played Jerry Springer when it was "big" here a few years back.
There were protests against the show, but as ever, they didn't get anywhere. There were 55,000 complaints when BBC2 broadcast a performance of it in 2005.
