Steve Wilkos, a former Chicago Police sergeant turned media personality and talk show host was the famed bodyguard of Jerry Springer. He often would guest host The Jerry Springer Show when Jerry was doing other shows and projects. 

NBCUniversal loved how he handled the show, they greenlit a spinoff talk show but without the sideshow. 

The Steve Wilkos Show which launched in 2007 is officially cancelled and will finish its season in nearly 20 years to the launch.

This comes on the heels of NBCUniversal canceling The Kelly Clarkson Show, Access Hollywood and Karamo.

The conglomerate is ending all syndicated programing.

Steve Wilkos was a prodigy of iconic television host Jerry Springer.

Both are taped in the former Rich Forum on Atlantic Street.

The cancellation is part of a larger move by NBCUniversal to end production of the first-run syndication shows, including Access Hollywood.

It's not clear how many jobs in Stamford, Connecticut will be impacted.

The cancellation is part of a broader, abrupt shutdown of NBCUniversal's first-run syndication division, signaling a shift away from traditional daytime talk show models toward streaming, as reported by Variety and The Hollywood Reporter.

The Steve Wilkos Show" had been on the air for 19 seasons, often focusing on stories involving domestic violence, legal, and personal issues.
