Turns out that Springer did leave America's Got Talent for a new gig. He's going to be playing the role of Billy Flynn in Chicago at the West End's Cambridge Theatre in London. He said,
"I love doing different things in my life. I can't think of anyone with a luckier life than I've had. I'm 65, and when someone comes to you and says, 'Would you like to be in a play on the West End?', particularly one with the impact of Chicago -- wow, you'd be crazy to say no. And the role of Billy Flynn is actually one I'm reasonably comfortable with it - I know enough about the character, not just being from Chicago but I'm a lawyer and I'm also in show business. There are elements of the character that I can draw upon I think - I hope I'm not being naïve with this - like talking to the jury and the putting on of a big show."He really does have an amazing career! I used to have a very negative opinion on Jerry until I met him, and I have to say that he's truly a genuinely sweet man, and I absolutely love him. He's simply an entertainer, not a trash promoter. So with that I say, "Congrats, Jerry, Jerry, Jerry, Jerry!"
