SkyNews said the show ran for 27 seasons and produced almost 5,000 episodes. In one of his interviews, Jerry Springer described the show as a form of rebellion against the status quo, primarily featuring only the rich and famous on screen.
Before his foray into television, Jerry Springer served as the 56th mayor of Cincinnati in the 1970s, as per People. The family is planning funeral services and a memorial gathering to honor Jerry’s life and legacy. However, instead of flowers, they have requested that people follow Jerry’s spirit by committing to acts of kindness towards those in need or worthy advocacy organizations. Jerry always said, “Take care of yourself and each other.”
