Early life

Springer was born in the East Finchley tube station in London.[1] His parents, Margo (a bank clerk) and Richard Springer (owner of a shoe shop[2]), were Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany.[1][3] In January 1949, Springer emigrated with his parents to the United States, settling in Kew Gardens, Queens, New York. He and his sister Evelyn were raised in a small four room apartment. Jerry's parents loved to talk politics, and even at a young age, he too became interested in the subject. In fact, one of his earliest memories about current events was when he was 12 and watching the Democratic convention on television where he saw, and was impressed by John F. Kennedy. (Powers and Johnson, 1998; also, Waldman, 2006) Springer attended Forest Hills High School. He earned a Bachelor of Arts from Tulane University in 1965, majoring in political science. He spent two summers as a counselor at Camp Skymount in Green Lane, Pennsylvania, where he demonstrated his showmanship as the camp's answer to the "British invasion."[citation needed] He earned a Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree from Northwestern University in 1968.[1][4]

Springer became a political campaign aide to Robert F. Kennedy.[4] After Kennedy's assassination, he joined the Cincinnati law firm of Frost & Jacobs, now Frost Brown Todd.

Political career

In 1970, Springer ran for Congress, but failed to unseat incumbent Republican Donald D. Clancy, garnering 45% of the vote. He had previously spearheaded the effort to lower the voting age, including testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee in support of ratification of the 26th Amendment.

Springer was elected to the Cincinnati city council in 1971.[4] He was forced to resign in 1974 after admitting to hiring a prostitute.[4] The episode was uncovered when a police raid on a Fort Wright, Kentucky "massage parlor" unearthed a check Jerry Springer had written for its "services". Jerry Springer came clean at a press conference. His honesty helped him win back his seat in 1975. In 1977, he was chosen to serve one year as mayor by the City Council.

In 1982, Springer sought the Democratic nomination for Governor of Ohio. TV commercials for Springer's campaign referenced his use of a check to pay a prostitute, saying that he wasn't afraid of the truth "even if it hurts".[5] He failed to win the Democratic party's nomination, and his political career was put on hiatus. Springer considered running for the United States Senate in 2003,[6] but backed down due to negative affiliations with The Jerry Springer Show.[7]

Politics to journalism

Springer's broadcast career started while he was still mayor of Cincinnati with album-oriented rock radio station WEBN FM, noted for its laid-back and irreverent radio format. The station featured commentaries by Springer under the banner "The Springer Memorandum". The popularity of these commentaries helped launch his broadcasting career.

Springer was hired as a political reporter and commentator on Cincinnati's NBC affiliate, WLWT TV, which had, at the time, the lowest-rated news program. Later, having been named primary news anchor and Managing Editor, he needed a broadcast "catch phrase" in the model of other great newsmen. With the help of some others at WLWT, he created his signature line: "Take care of yourself, and each other". Within two years he was Cincinnati's number one news anchor, along with partner Norma Rashid, and for five years, the most popular one in the city,[4] garnering 10 local Emmy Awards for his nightly commentaries. It was a position he held until January 1993.

Springer's commentaries on WLWT were frequently satirized by Cincinnati radio personality Gary Burbank.

The Jerry Springer Show

Main article: The Jerry Springer Show

The Jerry Springer Show debuted on September 30, 1991. It was developed by WLWT-TV to replace its Phil Donahue Show. It started as a politically oriented talk show, a longer version of Springer's commentaries. Guests included Oliver North and Jesse Jackson, and topics included homelessness and gun politics.

In the spring of 1994, Springer and his new producer Richard Dominick revamped the format of the show in order to garner higher ratings. The show became more and more successful as it became more and more lowbrow, with an emphasis on infidelity. Its guests are typically lower class, minimally-educated, blue collar people confronted on a television stage with a spouse or family member's adultery, homosexuality, prostitution, transvestism, hate group membership, or other controversial situations. These confrontations often lead to profane shouting, chair-throwing, fist-fights, and removal of clothing. Female guests also receive 'Jerry Beads' (basically just another name for a set of beads) when exposing their breasts to the crowd. The show picked up and garnered huge ratings and lots of attention. By 1998, it was even beating Oprah Winfrey in many cities, and was reaching more than 6.7 million viewers. (Waxman, 1998)

On July 10, 2002, the sons of guest Nancy Campbell-Panitz - who was murdered by her ex-husband after they appeared on a May 2000 episode with his girlfriend - filed suit in Sarasota County against Springer, his producers and his distributor, claiming he created "a mood that led to murder."[8]

In 2005, a UK version was shown on ITV1 entitled The Springer Show. It beat its talk-show rival Trisha Goddard five to one in the ratings, despite being a subdued and more tongue in cheek version of the US show.[9]

The VH-1 "celebreality" series The Springer Hustle, taking a look at how The Jerry Springer Show is produced, premiered in April 2007.[10]

TV shows

In addition to hosting America's Got Talent on NBC in the U.S., Springer has hosted several shows in the UK. In 2001, he hosted Greed on the UK's Five network. In 2007, he began hosting Nothing But the Truth, the UK version of Nada más que la verdad. He also had a late-night talk show several years ago.

Other appearances

* In the mid-1990s, Springer recorded Dr. Talk, an album that mostly consisted of country music covers.

* Springer portrayed his own talk show host character in the 1998 movie Ringmaster,[11] though his character's name is Jerry Farrelly. Ringmaster offers a behind-the-scenes look at would-be guests who apply to a Springer-like show. The same year, Springer also released an unrelated autobiography named Ringmaster; he claimed "I can only think of one title a year."[11]

* He appeared in an episode of Married... With Children as the masculine feminist, in which he was for women getting a bowling night at a bowling alley. Al Bundy and his friends tie Springer to a chair and take over his show with a stripper who jumps up and down for the crowd's delight.

* He also appeared on an episode of Roseanne during its ninth season.

* Jerry Springer is interviewed by satirist Chris Morris in his surreal radio series Blue Jam (Series 2, Episode 6), where he runs rings around Springer who obviously does not realize he is being lampooned.

* On November 30, 1997, Springer appeared as himself on The X-Files episode "The Post-Modern Prometheus".

* On October 25, 1998, Springer appeared in a Halloween episode of The Simpsons entitled "Starship Poopers". Springer provided the voice himself.

* Jerry Springer made a cameo appearance in Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me as himself during an episode of his show featuring Dr. Evil and his estranged son Scott Evil.

* Jerry Springer appeared in two episodes of Whose Line is it Anyway?.

* On January 23, 2004, Springer was featured in an episode of This American Life titled "Leaving the Fold".[12]

* From January 17, 2005 to December 5, 2006, Springer hosted Springer on the Radio, a liberal talk show on Cincinnati's WCKY-AM. He did the show from the Clear Channel studios in Kenwood on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays, and in Chicago (where his television show tapes) on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.[13]

* On April 16, 2006, Springer hosted the opening show for the third series of The Friday Night Project for Channel 4 in the UK as the guest host.

Springer was born in the East Finchley tube station in London.[1] His parents, Margo (a bank clerk) and Richard Springer (owner of a shoe shop[2]), were Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany.[1][3] In January 1949, Springer emigrated with his parents to the United States, settling in Kew Gardens, Queens, New York. He and his sister Evelyn were raised in a small four room apartment. Jerry's parents loved to talk politics, and even at a young age, he too became interested in the subject. In fact, one of his earliest memories about current events was when he was 12 and watching the Democratic convention on television where he saw, and was impressed by John F. Kennedy. (Powers and Johnson, 1998; also, Waldman, 2006) Springer attended Forest Hills High School. He earned a Bachelor of Arts from Tulane University in 1965, majoring in political science. He spent two summers as a counselor at Camp Skymount in Green Lane, Pennsylvania, where he demonstrated his showmanship as the camp's answer to the "British invasion."[citation needed] He earned a Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree from Northwestern University in 1968.[1][4]

Springer became a political campaign aide to Robert F. Kennedy.[4] After Kennedy's assassination, he joined the Cincinnati law firm of Frost & Jacobs, now Frost Brown Todd.

Political career

In 1970, Springer ran for Congress, but failed to unseat incumbent Republican Donald D. Clancy, garnering 45% of the vote. He had previously spearheaded the effort to lower the voting age, including testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee in support of ratification of the 26th Amendment.

Springer was elected to the Cincinnati city council in 1971.[4] He was forced to resign in 1974 after admitting to hiring a prostitute.[4] The episode was uncovered when a police raid on a Fort Wright, Kentucky "massage parlor" unearthed a check Jerry Springer had written for its "services". Jerry Springer came clean at a press conference. His honesty helped him win back his seat in 1975. In 1977, he was chosen to serve one year as mayor by the City Council.

In 1982, Springer sought the Democratic nomination for Governor of Ohio. TV commercials for Springer's campaign referenced his use of a check to pay a prostitute, saying that he wasn't afraid of the truth "even if it hurts".[5] He failed to win the Democratic party's nomination, and his political career was put on hiatus. Springer considered running for the United States Senate in 2003,[6] but backed down due to negative affiliations with The Jerry Springer Show.[7]

Politics to journalism

Springer's broadcast career started while he was still mayor of Cincinnati with album-oriented rock radio station WEBN FM, noted for its laid-back and irreverent radio format. The station featured commentaries by Springer under the banner "The Springer Memorandum". The popularity of these commentaries helped launch his broadcasting career.

Springer was hired as a political reporter and commentator on Cincinnati's NBC affiliate, WLWT TV, which had, at the time, the lowest-rated news program. Later, having been named primary news anchor and Managing Editor, he needed a broadcast "catch phrase" in the model of other great newsmen. With the help of some others at WLWT, he created his signature line: "Take care of yourself, and each other". Within two years he was Cincinnati's number one news anchor, along with partner Norma Rashid, and for five years, the most popular one in the city,[4] garnering 10 local Emmy Awards for his nightly commentaries. It was a position he held until January 1993.

Springer's commentaries on WLWT were frequently satirized by Cincinnati radio personality Gary Burbank.

The Jerry Springer Show

Main article: The Jerry Springer Show

The Jerry Springer Show debuted on September 30, 1991. It was developed by WLWT-TV to replace its Phil Donahue Show. It started as a politically oriented talk show, a longer version of Springer's commentaries. Guests included Oliver North and Jesse Jackson, and topics included homelessness and gun politics.

In the spring of 1994, Springer and his new producer Richard Dominick revamped the format of the show in order to garner higher ratings. The show became more and more successful as it became more and more lowbrow, with an emphasis on infidelity. Its guests are typically lower class, minimally-educated, blue collar people confronted on a television stage with a spouse or family member's adultery, homosexuality, prostitution, transvestism, hate group membership, or other controversial situations. These confrontations often lead to profane shouting, chair-throwing, fist-fights, and removal of clothing. Female guests also receive 'Jerry Beads' (basically just another name for a set of beads) when exposing their breasts to the crowd. The show picked up and garnered huge ratings and lots of attention. By 1998, it was even beating Oprah Winfrey in many cities, and was reaching more than 6.7 million viewers. (Waxman, 1998)

On July 10, 2002, the sons of guest Nancy Campbell-Panitz - who was murdered by her ex-husband after they appeared on a May 2000 episode with his girlfriend - filed suit in Sarasota County against Springer, his producers and his distributor, claiming he created "a mood that led to murder."[8]

In 2005, a UK version was shown on ITV1 entitled The Springer Show. It beat its talk-show rival Trisha Goddard five to one in the ratings, despite being a subdued and more tongue in cheek version of the US show.[9]

The VH-1 "celebreality" series The Springer Hustle, taking a look at how The Jerry Springer Show is produced, premiered in April 2007.[10]

TV shows

In addition to hosting America's Got Talent on NBC in the U.S., Springer has hosted several shows in the UK. In 2001, he hosted Greed on the UK's Five network. In 2007, he began hosting Nothing But the Truth, the UK version of Nada más que la verdad. He also had a late-night talk show several years ago.

Other appearances

* In the mid-1990s, Springer recorded Dr. Talk, an album that mostly consisted of country music covers.

* Springer portrayed his own talk show host character in the 1998 movie Ringmaster,[11] though his character's name is Jerry Farrelly. Ringmaster offers a behind-the-scenes look at would-be guests who apply to a Springer-like show. The same year, Springer also released an unrelated autobiography named Ringmaster; he claimed "I can only think of one title a year."[11]

* He appeared in an episode of Married... With Children as the masculine feminist, in which he was for women getting a bowling night at a bowling alley. Al Bundy and his friends tie Springer to a chair and take over his show with a stripper who jumps up and down for the crowd's delight.

* He also appeared on an episode of Roseanne during its ninth season.

* Jerry Springer is interviewed by satirist Chris Morris in his surreal radio series Blue Jam (Series 2, Episode 6), where he runs rings around Springer who obviously does not realize he is being lampooned.

* On November 30, 1997, Springer appeared as himself on The X-Files episode "The Post-Modern Prometheus".

* On October 25, 1998, Springer appeared in a Halloween episode of The Simpsons entitled "Starship Poopers". Springer provided the voice himself.

* Jerry Springer made a cameo appearance in Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me as himself during an episode of his show featuring Dr. Evil and his estranged son Scott Evil.

* Jerry Springer appeared in two episodes of Whose Line is it Anyway?.

* On January 23, 2004, Springer was featured in an episode of This American Life titled "Leaving the Fold".[12]

* From January 17, 2005 to December 5, 2006, Springer hosted Springer on the Radio, a liberal talk show on Cincinnati's WCKY-AM. He did the show from the Clear Channel studios in Kenwood on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays, and in Chicago (where his television show tapes) on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.[13]

* On April 16, 2006, Springer hosted the opening show for the third series of The Friday Night Project for Channel 4 in the UK as

Early life

Springer was born in the East Finchley tube station in London.[1] His parents, Margo (a bank clerk) and Richard Springer (owner of a shoe shop[2]), were Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany.[1][3] In January 1949, Springer emigrated with his parents to the United States, settling in Kew Gardens, Queens, New York. He and his sister Evelyn were raised in a small four room apartment. Jerry's parents loved to talk politics, and even at a young age, he too became interested in the subject. In fact, one of his earliest memories about current events was when he was 12 and watching the Democratic convention on television where he saw, and was impressed by John F. Kennedy. (Powers and Johnson, 1998; also, Waldman, 2006) Springer attended Forest Hills High School. He earned a Bachelor of Arts from Tulane University in 1965, majoring in political science. He spent two summers as a counselor at Camp Skymount in Green Lane, Pennsylvania, where he demonstrated his showmanship as the camp's answer to the "British invasion."[citation needed] He earned a Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree from Northwestern University in 1968.[1][4]

Springer became a political campaign aide to Robert F. Kennedy.[4] After Kennedy's assassination, he joined the Cincinnati law firm of Frost & Jacobs, now Frost Brown Todd.

Political career

In 1970, Springer ran for Congress, but failed to unseat incumbent Republican Donald D. Clancy, garnering 45% of the vote. He had previously spearheaded the effort to lower the voting age, including testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee in support of ratification of the 26th Amendment.

Springer was elected to the Cincinnati city council in 1971.[4] He was forced to resign in 1974 after admitting to hiring a prostitute.[4] The episode was uncovered when a police raid on a Fort Wright, Kentucky "massage parlor" unearthed a check Jerry Springer had written for its "services". Jerry Springer came clean at a press conference. His honesty helped him win back his seat in 1975. In 1977, he was chosen to serve one year as mayor by the City Council.

In 1982, Springer sought the Democratic nomination for Governor of Ohio. TV commercials for Springer's campaign referenced his use of a check to pay a prostitute, saying that he wasn't afraid of the truth "even if it hurts".[5] He failed to win the Democratic party's nomination, and his political career was put on hiatus. Springer considered running for the United States Senate in 2003,[6] but backed down due to negative affiliations with The Jerry Springer Show.[7]

Politics to journalism

Springer's broadcast career started while he was still mayor of Cincinnati with album-oriented rock radio station WEBN FM, noted for its laid-back and irreverent radio format. The station featured commentaries by Springer under the banner "The Springer Memorandum". The popularity of these commentaries helped launch his broadcasting career.

Springer was hired as a political reporter and commentator on Cincinnati's NBC affiliate, WLWT TV, which had, at the time, the lowest-rated news program. Later, having been named primary news anchor and Managing Editor, he needed a broadcast "catch phrase" in the model of other great newsmen. With the help of some others at WLWT, he created his signature line: "Take care of yourself, and each other". Within two years he was Cincinnati's number one news anchor, along with partner Norma Rashid, and for five years, the most popular one in the city,[4] garnering 10 local Emmy Awards for his nightly commentaries. It was a position he held until January 1993.

Springer's commentaries on WLWT were frequently satirized by Cincinnati radio personality Gary Burbank.

It started as a politically oriented talk show, a longer version of Springer's commentaries. Guests included Oliver North and Jesse Jackson, and topics included homelessness and gun politics.

In the spring of 1994, Springer and his new producer Richard Dominick revamped the format of the show in order to garner higher ratings. The show became more and more successful as it became more and more lowbrow, with an emphasis on infidelity. Its guests are typically lower class, minimally-educated, blue collar people confronted on a television stage with a spouse or family member's adultery, homosexuality, prostitution, transvestism, hate group membership, or other controversial situations. These confrontations often lead to profane shouting, chair-throwing, fist-fights, and removal of clothing. Female guests also receive 'Jerry Beads' (basically just another name for a set of beads) when exposing their breasts to the crowd. The show picked up and garnered huge ratings and lots of attention. By 1998, it was even beating Oprah Winfrey in many cities, and was reaching more than 6.7 million viewers. (Waxman, 1998)

On July 10, 2002, the sons of guest Nancy Campbell-Panitz - who was murdered by her ex-husband after they appeared on a May 2000 episode with his girlfriend - filed suit in Sarasota County against Springer, his producers and his distributor, claiming he created "a mood that led to murder."[8]

In 2005, a UK version was shown on ITV1 entitled The Springer Show. It beat its talk-show rival Trisha Goddard five to one in the ratings, despite being a subdued and more tongue in cheek version of the US show.[9]

The VH-1 "celebreality" series The Springer Hustle, taking a look at how The Jerry Springer Show is produced, premiered in April 2007.[10]

TV shows

In addition to hosting America's Got Talent on NBC in the U.S., Springer has hosted several shows in the UK. In 2001, he hosted Greed on the UK's Five network. In 2007, he began hosting Nothing But the Truth, the UK version of Nada más que la verdad. He also had a late-night talk show several years ago.

Other appearances

* In the mid-1990s, Springer recorded Dr. Talk, an album that mostly consisted of country music covers.

* Springer portrayed his own talk show host character in the 1998 movie Ringmaster,[11] though his character's name is Jerry Farrelly. Ringmaster offers a behind-the-scenes look at would-be guests who apply to a Springer-like show. The same year, Springer also released an unrelated autobiography named Ringmaster; he claimed "I can only think of one title a year."[11]

* He appeared in an episode of Married... With Children as the masculine feminist, in which he was for women getting a bowling night at a bowling alley. Al Bundy and his friends tie Springer to a chair and take over his show with a stripper who jumps up and down for the crowd's delight.

* He also appeared on an episode of Roseanne during its ninth season.

* Jerry Springer is interviewed by satirist Chris Morris in his surreal radio series Blue Jam (Series 2, Episode 6), where he runs rings around Springer who obviously does not realize he is being lampooned.

* On November 30, 1997, Springer appeared as himself on The X-Files episode "The Post-Modern Prometheus".

* On October 25, 1998, Springer appeared in a Halloween episode of The Simpsons entitled "Starship Poopers". Springer provided the voice himself.

* Jerry Springer made a cameo appearance in Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me as himself during an episode of his show featuring Dr. Evil and his estranged son Scott Evil.

* Jerry Springer appeared in two episodes of Whose Line is it Anyway?.

* On January 23, 2004, Springer was featured in an episode of This American Life titled "Leaving the Fold".[12]

* From January 17, 2005 to December 5, 2006, Springer hosted Springer on the Radio, a liberal talk show on Cincinnati's WCKY-AM. He did the show from the Clear Channel studios in Kenwood on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays, and in Chicago (where his television show tapes) on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.[13]

Early life

Springer was born in the East Finchley tube station in London.[1] His parents, Margo (a bank clerk) and Richard Springer (owner of a shoe shop[2]), were Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany.[1][3] In January 1949, Springer emigrated with his parents to the United States, settling in Kew Gardens, Queens, New York. He and his sister Evelyn were raised in a small four room apartment. Jerry's parents loved to talk politics, and even at a young age, he too became interested in the subject. In fact, one of his earliest memories about current events was when he was 12 and watching the Democratic convention on television where he saw, and was impressed by John F. Kennedy. (Powers and Johnson, 1998; also, Waldman, 2006) Springer attended Forest Hills High School. He earned a Bachelor of Arts from Tulane University in 1965, majoring in political science. He spent two summers as a counselor at Camp Skymount in Green Lane, Pennsylvania, where he demonstrated his showmanship as the camp's answer to the "British invasion."[citation needed] He earned a Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree from Northwestern University in 1968.[1][4]

Springer became a political campaign aide to Robert F. Kennedy.[4] After Kennedy's assassination, he joined the Cincinnati law firm of Frost & Jacobs, now Frost Brown Todd.

Political career

In 1970, Springer ran for Congress, but failed to unseat incumbent Republican Donald D. Clancy, garnering 45% of the vote. He had previously spearheaded the effort to lower the voting age, including testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee in support of ratification of the 26th Amendment.

Springer was elected to the Cincinnati city council in 1971.[4] He was forced to resign in 1974 after admitting to hiring a prostitute.[4] The episode was uncovered when a police raid on a Fort Wright, Kentucky "massage parlor" unearthed a check Jerry Springer had written for its "services". Jerry Springer came clean at a press conference. His honesty helped him win back his seat in 1975. In 1977, he was chosen to serve one year as mayor by the City Council.

In 1982, Springer sought the Democratic nomination for Governor of Ohio. TV commercials for Springer's campaign referenced his use of a check to pay a prostitute, saying that he wasn't afraid of the truth "even if it hurts".[5] He failed to win the Democratic party's nomination, and his political career was put on hiatus. Springer considered running for the United States Senate in 2003,[6] but backed down due to negative affiliations with The Jerry Springer Show.[7]

Politics to journalism

Springer's broadcast career started while he was still mayor of Cincinnati with album-oriented rock radio station WEBN FM, noted for its laid-back and irreverent radio format. The station featured commentaries by Springer under the banner "The Springer Memorandum". The popularity of these commentaries helped launch his broadcasting career.

Springer was hired as a political reporter and commentator on Cincinnati's NBC affiliate, WLWT TV, which had, at the time, the lowest-rated news program. Later, having been named primary news anchor and Managing Editor, he needed a broadcast "catch phrase" in the model of other great newsmen. With the help of some others at WLWT, he created his signature line: "Take care of yourself, and each other". Within two years he was Cincinnati's number one news anchor, along with partner Norma Rashid, and for five years, the most popular one in the city,[4] garnering 10 local Emmy Awards for his nightly commentaries. It was a position he held until January 1993.

Springer's commentaries on WLWT were frequently satirized by Cincinnati radio personality Gary Burbank.

Early life

Springer was born in the East Finchley tube station in London.[1] His parents, Margo (a bank clerk) and Richard Springer (owner of a shoe shop[2]), were Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany.[1][3] In January 1949, Springer emigrated with his parents to the United States, settling in Kew Gardens, Queens, New York. He and his sister Evelyn were raised in a small four room apartment. Jerry's parents loved to talk politics, and even at a young age, he too became interested in the subject. In fact, one of his earliest memories about current events was when he was 12 and watching the Democratic convention on television where he saw, and was impressed by John F. Kennedy. (Powers and Johnson, 1998; also, Waldman, 2006) Springer attended Forest Hills High School. He earned a Bachelor of Arts from Tulane University in 1965, majoring in political science. He spent two summers as a counselor at Camp Skymount in Green Lane, Pennsylvania, where he demonstrated his showmanship as the camp's answer to the "British invasion."[citation needed] He earned a Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree from Northwestern University in 1968.[1][4]

Springer became a political campaign aide to Robert F. Kennedy.[4] After Kennedy's assassination, he joined the Cincinnati law firm of Frost & Jacobs, now Frost Brown Todd.

Political career

In 1970, Springer ran for Congress, but failed to unseat incumbent Republican Donald D. Clancy, garnering 45% of the vote. He had previously spearheaded the effort to lower the voting age, including testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee in support of ratification of the 26th Amendment.

Springer was elected to the Cincinnati city council in 1971.[4] He was forced to resign in 1974 after admitting to hiring a prostitute.[4] The episode was uncovered when a police raid on a Fort Wright, Kentucky "massage parlor" unearthed a check Jerry Springer had written for its "services". Jerry Springer came clean at a press conference. His honesty helped him win back his seat in 1975. In 1977, he was chosen to serve one year as mayor by the City Council.

In 1982, Springer sought the Democratic nomination for Governor of Ohio. TV commercials for Springer's campaign referenced his use of a check to pay a prostitute, saying that he wasn't afraid of the truth "even if it hurts".[5] He failed to win the Democratic party's nomination, and his political career was put on hiatus. Springer considered running for the United States Senate in 2003,[6] but backed down due to negative affiliations with The Jerry Springer Show.[7]

Politics to journalism

Springer's broadcast career started while he was still mayor of Cincinnati with album-oriented rock radio station WEBN FM, noted for its laid-back and irreverent radio format. The station featured commentaries by Springer under the banner "The Springer Memorandum". The popularity of these commentaries helped launch his broadcasting career.

Springer was hired as a political reporter and commentator on Cincinnati's NBC affiliate, WLWT TV, which had, at the time, the lowest-rated news program. Later, having been named primary news anchor and Managing Editor, he needed a broadcast "catch phrase" in the model of other great newsmen. With the help of some others at WLWT, he created his signature line: "Take care of yourself, and each other". Within two years he was Cincinnati's number one news anchor, along with partner Norma Rashid, and for five years, the most popular one in the city,[4] garnering 10 local Emmy Awards for his nightly commentaries. It was a position he held until January 1993.

Springer's commentaries on WLWT were frequently satirized by Cincinnati radio personality Gary Burbank.

The Jerry Springer Show

Main article: The Jerry Springer Show

The Jerry Springer Show debuted on September 30, 1991. It was developed by WLWT-TV to replace its Phil Donahue Show. It started as a politically oriented talk show, a longer version of Springer's commentaries. Guests included Oliver North and Jesse Jackson, and topics included homelessness and gun politics.

In the spring of 1994, Springer and his new producer Richard Dominick revamped the format of the show in order to garner higher ratings. The show became more and more successful as it became more and more lowbrow, with an emphasis on infidelity. Its guests are typically lower class, minimally-educated, blue collar people confronted on a television stage with a spouse or family member's adultery, homosexuality, prostitution, transvestism, hate group membership, or other controversial situations. These confrontations often lead to profane shouting, chair-throwing, fist-fights, and removal of clothing. Female guests also receive 'Jerry Beads' (basically just another name for a set of beads) when exposing their breasts to the crowd. The show picked up and garnered huge ratings and lots of attention. By 1998, it was even beating Oprah Winfrey in many cities, and was reaching more than 6.7 million viewers. (Waxman, 1998)

On July 10, 2002, the sons of guest Nancy Campbell-Panitz - who was murdered by her ex-husband after they appeared on a May 2000 episode with his girlfriend - filed suit in Sarasota County against Springer, his producers and his distributor, claiming he created "a mood that led to murder."[8]

In 2005, a UK version was shown on ITV1 entitled The Springer Show. It beat its talk-show rival Trisha Goddard five to one in the ratings, despite being a subdued and more tongue in cheek version of the US show.[9]

The VH-1 "celebreality" series The Springer Hustle, taking a look at how The Jerry Springer Show is produced, premiered in April 2007.[10]

TV shows

In addition to hosting America's Got Talent on NBC in the U.S., Springer has hosted several shows in the UK. In 2001, he hosted Greed on the UK's Five network. In 2007, he began hosting Nothing But the Truth, the UK version of Nada más que la verdad. He also had a late-night talk show several years ago.

Other appearances

* In the mid-1990s, Springer recorded Dr. Talk, an album that mostly consisted of country music covers.
