Rachelle Lynn Wilkos (née Consiglio; born January 11, 1971) is an American television producer. A former senior producer on The Jerry Springer Show, Wilkos now serves as executive producer of The Steve Wilkos Show, hosted by her husband, former Springer security guard turned talk show host Steve Wilkos. They have two kids, a daughter (born 2003) and a son (born 2005).
Wilkos attended Wayne State University with a major in journalism. Her television career started in 1994 with a local morning show called Kelly & Company as an intern. She later moved up to associate producer. Shortly after her promotion, she left the program to join Jerry Springer.
When longtime Springer EP Richard Dominick departed prior to the 2008 season, Wilkos was named in his place. She is predominantly behind the scenes and very infrequently appears onscreen during tapings.
The Wilkos family resided in Park Ridge, Illinois until 2009 before production of Jerry Springer and they moved to Fairfield County, Connecticut.
