Thank God it’s Jerry

Jerry Springer will make a guest appearance in the American series of Thank God You’re Here.

The spin-off will premiere on April 9 on NBC.

Springer was a contestant on Dancing with the Stars and currently hosts America’s Got Talent.

The line-up of guests and regulars is looking impressive so far: Jennifer Coolidge, Fran Drescher, Fred Willard, Jane Lynch, Jason Alexander, Wayne Knight, Dave Foley, George Takei, Tom Arnold.

The series will screen in a prime 9-10pm timeslot.

This is certainly a coup for the Working Dog team, and I suspect it will take hold in the States. Last I heard the American series would be unavailable for re-sale in Australia, so as not to jeopardise the local production.
