Oh, it's great to be here. I used to love Jerry Springer. I actually did America's Got Talent with Jerry Springer. I was a judge. He was the host. We both lived at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Los Angeles. And we used to lie by the pool on our sandbags and plot global domination together. So I take that as a great compliment.

Well, not only that, was he born here during the Second World War, by the way, during the Blitz in one of the subway tunnels. But Jerry was a fascinating guy. He was the mayor of Cincinnati. He was a TV serious news anchor for many years. And then he got asked by the network, can you just do this pilot for this crazy new show? He didn't really want to do it.

He did it, and it became so unbelievably successful and made so many hundreds of millions of dollars, he could never leave it alone. But he used to say to me, it is the worst show on TV, but it's making me unbelievably rich. And it was a fascinating story. He was a really interesting character.

And there was an honesty to it, you know, where people, everyone knew what was going on. They all went on for a reason to have their moment. They wanted to have their moment and their story. And who are we to be snobbish enough to say, well, you're not allowed to. We only listen to Beyonce these days. It's like, you know, it was kind of egalitarian. I liked it.

To return this little passive-aggressive hand movement, I'm a journalist. And what I've realised, especially in the last two or three years as the YouTube side of what I've done has got bigger and bigger, I've reverted back much more to being a journalist.
