The program tapes at the Rich Forum in Stamford, Connecticut, which is alternately known as the Stamford Media Center and is distributed by NBCUniversal Television Distribution . </P> <P> A typical episode of Springer begins with a title card warning parents that the show may contain content inappropriate for children . Springer then enters the stage by sliding down a stripper pole, being greeted by a standing audience (made up of mostly college students) pumping the air with their right hand, chanting "Jer - ry!, Jer - ry!". He then shakes hands with those in the front and, afterward, the audience settles down . Springer then welcomes viewers to the show, introduces a particular situation, or topic, and interviews several guests experiencing such situations . After finishing the interview, Springer announces the entrance of another guest whom the first guest would like to confront . The second guest enters the stage, and a confrontation between the two guests usually occurs, often breaking down into a brawl that is eventually broken up by on - set security personnel . Once the fight has been quelled, Springer interviews the second guest about the situation faced by the first guest . In many episodes, there is a third guest involved in the situation, who is also interviewed by Springer, and often takes part in the on - stage fighting . It is also not uncommon for a fourth guest to be involved . Often guests will be given a cup of water after fighting, ostensibly to "cool off," but inevitably, the guests toss the water at each other, thus resuming the altercation . When there were two guys brawling, sometimes the ladies would take advantage of the guards breaking up the males fighting which would allow the ladies to brawl once again . At the end of each segment, Springer would ask what would happen to the participants from that point . Usually, they would get back together, but other times, the relationships were over for good . </P>
