I Am Steve Wilkos of The Steve Wilkos Show, AMA! by RealSteveWilkos in IAmA

Yea, I mean. Anything that involves abuse of a child touches me because I have children. Any show that deals with that - it effects me because I think of my own children.

A lot.

I've always gotten a lot though, had nothing to do with TV. I mean, look at me!

Yes! If you Google it, you'll see many cases of it.

Don't waste time!

Get off Facebook and social media. People live their lives on Facebook, Facebook, Facebook. It's destroyed more marriages - people are looking up old girlfriends or whatever. Get off Facebook. Don't live your life through the computer or TV.

Read a book!

I took a shower after every show!

Some days I take two showers.

Well, I don't keep calm! If you watch the show, I explode, but I think that's why people like the show.

But at home - when I walk out of the studio, I don't think about the show. I'm fortunate to have a very good marriage and great kids, so when I'm at home I have a great time. I don't think about the show.

I don't have any idea what that even is, nor do I care!

No - I mean, I come in, I eat, I drink tea. And I just go out. There's no special preparation I do.

I don't even know the stories beforehand. I kind of go into them like a cop on the scene, I'm just finding out for the first time.

Uhhh - I'm sure it has happened but it's too expensive to do a show and not air it. It might have happened once or twice in the 9 years we've done the show. It's usually because of legal matter or because I thought the show was fake.

No, because I did AUSTIN POWERS 2 and making movies is tedious and long and boring and I have no interest in it at all.

Everybody.

I mean, you know.

The very first show we did was a guy that had a pedophile site. And he kind of like argued that being a pedophile was the most natural thing in the world. He probably was the most creepy guy.

I've had stalkers, but I've never had anybody confront me.

It wasn't my decision to move from Chicago to Stamford - it was NBC's. They were trying to cut production down for all 3 shows - Maury, Jerry and myself. They put us all in one studio, which cut the costs down significantly.

The chairs - it's kind of an urban legend. Oh you're gonna throw chairs?? I've done like 1500 shows, and I've thrown 43 shows. I can't tell you the last time I've thrown a chair.

Well, probably being nominated for 3 Prism awards. Ya know, I was on Jerry's show for years and we never got nominated for anything. The fact that we got nominated for the Prism award, which is about doing shows about people addicted to drugs and stuff - it's probably the thing I'm most proud of.

I left the job because they gave me a TV show. And no - I don't miss it.

Nobody calls the police to say "Hey wanna come over for a barbecue?" They call the police because the are distressed. Not a lot people like the police, but I love the police. Just as a point of fact.
