Jerry Springer, who hosted nearly 5,000 episodes of the iconic talk show bearing his name, has died. He was 79. Springer’s family, the Cincinnati channel where he used to work, that he died at his home in the Chicago area. “Jerry’s ability to connect with people was at the heart of his success in everything he tried whether that was politics, broadcasting or just joking with people on the street who wanted a photo or a word,” said Jene Galvin, a family friend and spokesperson.
“He’s irreplaceable and his loss hurts immensely, but memories of his intellect, heart and humor will live on.” Springer began his career in politics, being elected to Cincinnati City Council in 1971 and resigning in 1974 over a controversy about him hiring a prostitute; he was reelected in 1975 and even served as mayor for a year in 1977. After failing a run for Ohio governor in 1982, he pivoted to broadcasting at WLWT, where he began his eponymous talk show.
