Fivio Foreign seen on the Steve Wilkos show before all the fame

Fivio Foreign seen on the Steve Wilkos show before all the fame. 

The daytime talk show, distributed by NBCUniversal Syndication Studios, tackles issues such as family and criminal justice, true-crime and relationship conflicts.

Additionally, NBCUniversal Syndication Studios has sold its catalogue of daytime talk Shows, Maury, hosted by Maury Povich, and The Jerry Springer Show, hosted by Jerry Springer, into national syndication.

The Steve Wilkos Show, in its 15th season, is averaging 900,000 daily viewers for the 2021-22 season, while delivering a large percentage of its audience from the Adults 25-54 demographic.

“I’m a father of two small children, and when we do stories where people have done really bad things to children–burn them with cigarettes, let their boyfriends beat their children up and stuff like that, those are things that–I feel for those kids,” Wilkos explained to host Ricky Camilleri.

Wilkos responded candidly to the notion that talk shows exploit guests for ratings. “You’re doing a TV show for entertainment and you want ratings, right? You can’t have two people sitting like a bump on a log — people are not going to tune in, so you better do a show that’s entertaining that people are going to watch,” he said. “Do we want to help people with the show? Yes. But the only way I’m ever going to be able to help people is if the show is entertaining and people tune in.”
