Jerry Springer is prepared to be president of the United States.
The one-time mayor of Cincinnati, who has spent the last 25 years hosting one of the United States' most famous talk shows, said it would be unlikely and even "ludicrous" to consider but that he would serve if a "Draft Jerry" movement gained enough steam.
"OK, I'll run," he told Mic. "My passion has always been political. I am still active."

Springer was considered a potential candidate for OH Senate a while back but declined to run.

I also like the fact that he makes no excuses for his TV show being a stupid show. He readily admits he's chicken and stays away from his fighting guests.
