Legendary talk show host Jerry Springer, 79, dies at Chicago home
The legendary TV host passed away 'peacefully' at his home in Chicago after his health took a turn for the worse, a spokesman for his relatives said.
No, it's really not remarkable at all. Attention whoring and stabbing each other in the back over the most trivial of shit is built in to the species. That shit is seen throughout the entirety of recorded history and plays a part in every mythology ever written.It's still pretty remarkable that people would pretend to be insane trailer trash and ruin their reputations with people who knew them just to be on national TV.
Maury Povich had been doing daytime TV since the 80s. long before Springer there was also Phil Donahue, Geraldo and Morton Downey JR doing the same thing. my GF used to watch the Springer show in the 90s and would talk about it everyday like it was a soap opera. made me sick. i didnt know what was worse, the trash they put on TV or the people who believed any of it was real. fuck that guy.
He was a scumbag in a lot of different ways. I didn't wish death on him. I'm sure he provided entertainment to a lot of people, but yeah, he was peddling sleaze and it wasn't even subtle.Let's not forget that Springer showed us Next Door Nikki's titties.
But he was a scumbag.
