Prior to being a TV legend, Jerry Springer also dabbled in politics. In 1970, his campaign for U.S. Congress failed. He, however, got elected to Cincinnati’s City Council a year later. Then, in 1977, he served as the city’s mayor for a single term. 
It, however, was his controversial and entertaining TV show that landed him in the spotlight. Debuting in 1991, his talk show kicked off with a focus on politics. It, however, wasn’t until it took a sharp turn in a different direction that it became a massive success.

Understandably, the world was gutted when the TV show came to an end. And, this isn’t a death the world was prepared for.

The sounds of the excited audience chanting “Jerry, Jerry, Jerry, Jerry!” will live on in the minds of fans of the talk show host forever. Rest in peace, Jerry Springer.
