They can kiss their 15 minutes of fame goodbye. Didn't Springer tell them that they're only supposed to wig out on the set?

This guy was going to be on a show about love triangles. It seems safe to presume that he was one of the three in a particular love triangle.
What seems scary to me is that there is actually a woman that admits to liking this specimen. You can only beg to know what she and the other guy look like.

Hampton Inn Suites? OK so they're not four-star hotels, but I've generally found them pretty decent. I guess I figured Springer guests would get sleeping cubicles at the local truckstop or something.
That is one Hampton Inn Suites I will avoid.

@ Torgo
"Taping of three NBC Universal shows, "The Jerry Springer Show", "Maury", and "The Steve Wilkos Show" began at the Rich Forum in August. The network is leasing the 42,000 square-foot theater for two years, with options to renew. The arrangement is expected to bring 150 to 200 production jobs to the city, and $3 million in infrastructure to the city."
Just when you thought it wouldn't go away.

Mmmmm...love me some white-trash smackdown. I'm fantasizing that he was dressed in a wife-beater shirt, drinking a Busch..*happy sigh..
I'll bet he has LOTS of correctly-spelled tat's, and possibly MOST of his teeth.

According to the story, the two men in the fight were not involved in the same trash-love-gone-wrong triangle. Their dispute was over the AL man thinking the TX man stole the AL man's girlfriend's wallet. The Springer show people passed up a great opportunity for another brawl when they cancelled the two men's separate tapings. They could have had a third show out of the motel fight material.

Oh Gawd! I'm kidding. PLEASE don't let there be children.

The Jerry Springer guest files will be a goldmine come eugenics time.

Springer was looking for losers, but apparently he got more loserness than he expected! Go figure.

Well, I suppose if this guy has 2 hands....he's in a love triangle.

I suspect they were paid actors and this was arranged for publicity. You know trash all over are going to fight hand over rotten tooth to watch the episodes these guys are to be in.
The other reason I suspect this is arranged by the show: if the Springer guests were real (not actors), and given the volitility (spellig, I know) of the guests, why on earth would the show put two guests in the same hotel at the same time?!?

Those guys will be some of the first against the wall when the revolution comes.
To quote Farmer Bob (I think), sterilize 'em.

This is like in "Blazing Saddles" where the fight moves out of the studio and into the streets.
Unfortunately our society has become slap stick comedy.
