Oh yeah, don't forget writing a check to a prostitute for "Services rendered"
When I was doing low-income home inspections, his show was on in nearly every household. Art imitating life or life imitating art?
Jerry rented a sideshow booth featuring sub-human trailer trash in the Circus called America.
Great guy. Very entertaining.

RIP.
I hope his checks clear....

Jerry Springer planned to run for Governor of Ohio while he claimed to be a Florida resident, with FL homestead tax exemption.
He did expose the Subculture. We should’ve taken note back then.
A good friend of ours used to work down the hall from Jerry at WLW, She said he was a really nice man.
Memory Eternal!
I hope he knew Christ before he passed.
His family and friends have my sympathy. Pretty long life!

I was doing some service work at an assisted living facility and and asked the lady who ran it what time would be best to do some aspect of the work. She laughed and said the residents were all very God fearing people but would all be in their apartments at whatever time watching Jerry. And she was right!

A few weeks ago, he was in Tampa for the St. Yago Gasparrilla Parade. Interesting character, but he said, when he started in talk television, the rating wasn’t great, so his producers asked to do controversial subjects. The rest is history...
