comedy gold, IF you like that sorta thing .. went the distance in giving lots of bizarre people (and struggling actors) what Warhol predicted .. 15 minutes of 'fame'
Springer, as said, born in a London underground station during a German WW2 bombing campaign was a very clever, resourceful and successful man in more than one role .. R I P
His show was a massive promotion for the race to the bottom of our society, encouraging exaggerated bad behaviour, shock stuff and general dregs wanting to be famous for whatever reason. It spawned a heap more trash like Jeremy Kyle show etc.
However, it was funny. Nothing more cringe hilarious than seeing the angry ex introduced and knowing within two steps it was all gonna kick off. Scene cut then the next scene the set in chaos people pulled apart and the crowd chanting “Steve, Steve, Steve” as he holds back some 4ft asthmatic aunt psycho.
”Next up with got Blake. How ya doin Blake? now Blake, you admit you frequently break into your ex Letitia’s apartment, masterbate over her panties, and defecate into the tug of Haggan Das in the fridge. Let’s bring our Letitia’s new husband Gus…”
Someone Springer remained likeable through it all!
(and Letitia would ditch Gus and get back together with Blake!)

Unlike Jeremy Kyle it was scripted. TV has definitely improved since then though!
This was very weird. I hadn't thought about Jerry Springer in years until yesterday when he popped in my head. I ended up watching his best bits on YouTube. Later that day I read that he had died.
Probably some Derren Brown-like suggestion of the mind where I had seen something out of the corner of my eye and not even noticed.

RIP
Enjoyed a hospitality day with him at Twickenham a few years ago, very interesting man.
RIP Jerry
