The host was known for his controversial shows, including “The Jerry Springer Show,” which launched in 1991.
American host Jerry Springer, known for his controversial broadcasts peppered with swear words, vulgarities and physical altercations, died at the age of 79, announced Thursday, April 27, his press secretary to several American media, including Fox News. Jerry Springer, who also entered politics and served as Democratic mayor of Cincinnati for a year in 1977, died peacefully in Chicago after “a short illness”said the American people site TMZ, citing a family source.
Launched in September 1991, “The Jerry Springer Show”, which ended in 2018 after 27 years on the air, had become cult and a symbol of American “trash TV”. The show was initially a classic talk show, focused on social issues and American political life.
The quest for the spectacular at all costs
Lawyer and politician, Jerry Springer was on the move, in a relatively civilized style. But, after a few years, to improve audiences, this son of German Jewish immigrants had radically changed the tone of his program, switching to the quest for the spectacular at all costs.
In the majority of episodes, guests came to talk about their couple or family problems, to expose adultery, deceit and baseness. Guided by the care of Jerry Springer, the discussion regularly ended in tussles, the protagonists being held back, only occasionally, by security guards.
At the end of the 1990s, the show had the best daytime audience ratings, ahead of “Oprah”, presenter Oprah Winfrey’s must-see talk show. The concept has even been exported. In 2002, the show “It’s going to be known”, presented by Simon Monceau, arrives on the screens of two channels of the AB group: AB 3, in Belgium, and RTL 9, in France. From the start of the program, whose production does not admit to the he era that it was adapted from “The Jerry Springer Show”, the media discovered that it was actors who intervened in the show, the broadcast of which would stop in 2008. Since 2017, “Ça va se savoir” has a YouTube channelbe which attracts many nostalgic fans of the program. Just like the original version.
