Jerry Springer With James Edstrom And Steve Wilkos I have very mixed feelings from a e-mail I received yesterday from friends at The Jerry Springer Show and The Hit Steve Wilkos Show. I am being told that it's almost a done deal. I am being told that both shows will be moving to Stamford Connecticut. My sources said NBC Universal Domestic Television Distribution, the company's syndicated television arm, plans to relocate "The Jerry Springer Show" and "The Steve Wilkos Show" from Chicago to a new facility in Connecticut this summer in time for the start of the 2009 television season. Maury Povich's syndicated NBC Universal program "Maury" also would move there from New York City.

**** STEVE WILKOS IS READY TO HELP **** Steve Wilkos I have received many comments from parents of troubled children in our Steve Wilkos stories comment section. One comment a few days ago a woman wrote that her daughter was hooked on Meth and Cocaine and lived a very dangerous life. She is afraid her 20 year girl will end up dead. She said some of her daughters friends were raped and murdered and left in some canal. This is just one of the comments people have left hoping for Steve Wilkos help. I spoke to Steve a few minutes ago and he wants everyone with a problem to e-mail his show. The address is FanSteveWikos@aol.com . Of course, every person that writes must be very precise in telling what the problem is and please leave a contact number. Remember Steve can't help everyone, so the more information you give to him, the better the chance we can get you the help you need.

WORLD EXCLUSIVE ! Steve Wilkos was not happy with Jack McClellan Times Square Gossip has learned exclusively that admitted pedophile Jack McClellan is once again online promoting his sick lifestyle. We met this sicko on the set of the hit 'Steve Wilkos Show' in Chicago, where Wilkos was so disgusted by this guy, that he took McClellan's chair away and made him stand onstage for the whole show. I am surprised he got out of NBC Towers alive as the audience was so disgusted. Jack McClellan's new website is called Portland Girl Love and on the website he gives his phone number but cautions you that he won't answer blocked caller ID's. He also gives his address as NW Glisan Street in Portland Oregon. On his site he has links to all the media he has received as well as links to places like Girl chat, Boy chat, Pro Pedophilia sites and many others. He tells you events where you can spot little girls like the Polish Festival and the Oregon State Fair. He lists Element...

On Saturday October 13, Steve Wilkos star of the new Steve Wilkos Show, will host a fundraiser for the Gehring family in Moberley Missouri. A 24-year old mother with 2 small children (ages 3 and 4). The family had been living in a tent in a state park in Moberley for 5 months and couldn't keep up the $5 camp fee. Last month the family was offered to move into a church campsite temporarily, that offer is up next week. Their 'new' house will be available within the next week, but before they can move in they need to raise their electric bill (past due and present) and start up bills, which after the community's outreach and donations is still over $1,000. Steve will raise this money and also ask for household donations for the family to furnish their new home. The 2 small children have birthdays at the end of October and will receive a swing set for their new backyard from Steve.
