"The Jerry Springer Show" is "absolutely, unequivocally voluntary. They call us--and they are told what the parameters are well in advance. You don't have to talk about a subject you don't want to and no one may be talked about who isn't there."
He said he has never felt physically unsafe while taping any of his more than 2,000 programs.
Opening the floor to questions, Springer affirmed to a student that "most of the people on the show are very nice people."
When asked if he would trade lives with Oprah Winfrey, he said that he "would change bank accounts, but I love my life."
Springer said he "would love to do politics again," and joked that he "would fit in perfectly in the Senate."
The Cleveland Plain Dealer reported earlier this month that several Ohio Democratic leaders urged the talk show host to run for Senate against Republican incumbent Mike DeWine.
Springer said yesterday he won't run for office in the next several years--at least the time it takes for his contract to expire.
