Rest in piece to one of the greatest.
The fights, the drama, the controversy. The Jerry Springer show had it all, and we were obsessed in a weird “crazy car accident, and I can’t turn away” kind of way.
The law school turned Cincinnati Governor turned T.V. star reported passed away after a brief battle with pancreatic cancer, in his home in Chicago.
The 90s were WILD. Trashy afternoon T.V. talk shows were all the rage. And Jerry Springer was King. Every episode was over the top. When you watched Jerry you knew a few things were going to happen. The entire audience would rage and shout “Jerry! Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!” literally anytime even something remotely dramatic happened. This would seem to act as a battle cry because soon after, we knew we were going to see a fight.
You’re definitely not going to see anything like The Jerry Springer Show on T.V. in today’s world.
“Jerry! Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!”
