Best of 2000: Best Place To Find Guests For "The Jerry Springer Show"

The Del Mar Fair

Try the Fun Zone at the Del Mar Fair after 10:00 p.m. No shortage here of delinquent brats hopped up on God- knows-what seeking out dangerous cheap thrills, wearing T-shirts that read "No Fear," or "Metallica." All of them under the guidance and care of bleary-eyed carny-ride operators or ring-toss barkers with T-shirts that read "Blow Me, Clinton!" or "Let Go, Let God." You can distinguish the potential Jerry guests from the carnies because the latter wear their baseball caps bill-forward. True, this motherlode of wayward, dysfunctional, trailer-park desperadoes is available only a few short weeks in the summer, but Jerry should be able to supply himself with enough dizzy, amusing panelists from the wading end of the gene pool for a whole season of TV fun.
