Jerry Springer, the onetime mayor and news anchor whose namesake TV show featured a three-ring circus of dysfunctional families willing to bare all on weekday afternoons including brawls, obscenities and blurred images of nudity, died Thursday at 79.

At its peak, “The Jerry Springer Show” was a ratings powerhouse and a U.S. cultural pariah, synonymous with lurid drama. Known for chair-throwing and bleep-filled arguments, the daytime talk show was a favorite American guilty pleasure over its 27-year run, at one point topping Oprah Winfrey’s show.

Springer called it “escapist entertainment,” while others saw the show as contributing to a dumbing-down decline in American social values. More

  11. I’d like to see the look on his face now that he is the freak sitting in a chair trying to justify his slimy life to The Accuser of all accusers and the studio audience are the Dukes of Hell. That, I’d sit through some commercials to see.

  19. At the end of the day, he was exploiting some of the stupidest & dysfunctional people in America. Not a nice or moral thing to do.

    On the Other Hand, Still not as harmful to Society as The KARDASHIANS.
