I guess you’re right. Give the people bread and circuses.

It worked so well for the Romans, right?

I use to work a 4pm to 2am shift and the next morning after waking up I use to watch his show it was hilarious all the insane people fighting each other with the audience egging them on

I’ll throw a folding chair at my wife’s mother, who may or may not be bearing my love-child - in his memory!

That’s a darn shame....

Only 79? He looked older than 79. Hmm.

Springer didn’t create the people on his show.

"I never understood how or why people would go on his show (or others like it) and air their dirty laundry...Or why people would watch such shows."

During the time he was on air, I inadvertently caught maybe a total of 30 seconds of his show. I rapidly concluded that his audience must consist primarily of insecure people who needed to watch the show to feel better about themselves and their own lives, i.e., "At lease I'm not that bad!"

Nope. He organized their troubled lives like a freak show, profited from it, and soiled the country’s moral fabric.

When I was doing low-income home inspections, his show was on in nearly every household. Art imitating life or life imitating art?

For that, he needed a receptive audience. Springer was a symptom. The original late-night show was high comedy. The later afternoon show pretty much reflected the decline of American culture.

He grew into a charmingly avuncular (and at times self-deprecatingly self-aware) old man.

A lib to the core, but an old-fashioned liberal—not a Marxist.

To go so quickly to cancer might (or might not) be tied to the jabs.
