Stepford v. Springer

A Connecticut Catholic priest is not happy that “The Jerry Springer Show” might be moving next door.

A Connecticut Catholic priest is not happy that “The Jerry Springer Show” might be moving next door. Apparently, he doesn’t like seeing grown men and women (and everything in between) pull each others’ hair out.

The AP says: Springer’s show will move from Chicago this summer … to Stamford, about 30 miles from New York City and next to one of the region’s largest and oldest Catholic churches. The pastor says he plans to talk to church lawyers to see if they can stop the plan after hearing complaints from parishioners, including one who called the show “low-brow.”

“They didn’t think this was the right place for it,” said the Rev. Stephen DiGiovanni of St. John’s Catholic Church. “I’m not very thrilled about it.”


AP also reports that Fairfield County is one of the nation’s richest regions, home to Martha Stewart and the inspiration for “The Stepford Wives.”
