Big Steve was hugely popular on the Springer Show. Early on Steve had to step between all the mayhem but later he didn't do much and had his stooges do all that. It was always funny watching some of those goons separate the big ladies. They never knew who or what to touch and from their expressions the smell wasn't that great, either. Maybe is was the cheap perfume?
Steve started out in security then became a star in his own right. So it is no surprise that he has his own show.
