NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) –  Jerry Springer is the king.  He’s king of crazy television.  And he’s celebrating 25 years!

Jerry’s in New Orleans for Mardi Gras.  He’s riding in the Krewe of Endymion parade.

That’s Saturday night, February 6.

It’s not his first time in town.  He was here for Mardi Gras before.  In 1998, Jerry was grand marshal of Endymion.

And he went to school in New Orleans at Tulane.  He was an undergrad at Tulane.

You’ve seen him on his TV show, The Jerry Springer Show.  Now, he’s at home on another show.

Jerry’s hosting WGNO News with a Twist with Susy and LBJ, Friday night at 5 & 6.

WGNO News with a Twist features guy Wild Bill Wood wanted to welcome Jerry Springer back to town in a real New Orleans kind of way.

That had to be a welcome you could eat.

So Wild Bill headed to Haydel’s Bakery.

This is the busiest time of year at Haydel’s.  They’re deep into king cake season.  But the crew at Haydel’s had time to make and bake Jerry Springer a special cake.

You’ll see it here.

The bakers also had time to chime in their thoughts on some of Wild Bill’s favorite Jerry Springer episodes like:

I slept with a midget stripper, you weren’t gay last weekend, I used to be a man and I married a horse!
