I'd be lying if I said my childhood was not occasionally filled with me watching this show when I was home sick from school or when my parents were not keeping an eye on me haha.

Anyway, I suppose even the Jerry Springer Show has its place in the world, as gross and terrible as it was. It was sort of like wrestling I think because a lot of stuff on there had to be fake (right?!), I mean I hope it was.

The thing is, Jerry never seemed like that bad of a guy. I mean yes he did drag out adulterers in front of their marriage partners, but he never really seemed to be like "Oh shit you guys should hate eachother. Want to fight? You should fight!" he always seemed, idunno, neutral.

I remember watching his show in high school English 3. We had a teacher who would let us watch Jerry Springer and it was something else. My dad used to watch it on TV reruns even Judge Jerry as well.

It always fascinated me that he served as the mayor of Cincinnati, Ohio.

It should be noted Jerry Springer show also beat Oprah's show several times and Jerry was once a step ahead when it comes to misrely adult life drama. At the time, there was nothing like a show Jerry brought to Cable TV and it was social media before social media became a thing.

Jerry was a neutral person indeed.

Even WWE pays tribute to Jerry Springer as he was a guest host on Raw:

Some say without Jerry, there would be no Attitude Era...but it was Russo who brought that into WWF after watching Jerry Springer show. Jerry made some history that he did.

He was actually Jewish. His parents were German Jews who left Germany to make refuge in England because of the Nazis. Later on he and his family left England and moved to America when he was four years old. But yeah it's sad that he passed away. R.I.P

Ah, that guy with the horrible show. I remember watching some of it and never understood if it was scripted or not. It was so dumb it had to be scripted, but americans are so dumb, you could never be sure.

Don't underestimate stupidity! This country has some beauties. Springer was like that Maury guy who used to exploit people for self advancement.
