Forgive me if this is in the wrong forum, I wasn’t sure if this was for GQ or here, but decided it probably belongs here.
I’m looking for the correct attribution for a clever spoof of Jerry Springer called variously, “The Jerry Spinger Show presents: I have a Philosophical Secret” or “The Lowest Rating Jerry Springer Show Ever”.
It’s very clever and very funny and all over the internet, but not, as far as I can see, with any mention of the author.
If you’ve not read it, you can read it here:

A teacher I know wishes to use the text in one of her senior classes, but wants to be able to ask permission of the author before using it.
I’d be very grateful if anyone can tell me who wrote the piece.
