Always had Jerry Springer on when I was in grade-thru-middle school as an older Millenial, so this hits me pretty hard.
Jerry was at his best when he was trying to talk sense into 304s who were 403% sure they knew who the baby-daddy was, but a DNA test prove they had too high of a body count to be trusted. JER-RY JER-RY

RIP to the dude that helped corrupt my youth, but damn it, it was entertaining.

This hits harder than I thought it would have. I weirdly adore that late 90s/early 2000s era, you know the dark, edgy and usually trashy stuff. Springer, Maury, Jackass, nu-metal, etc. A lot of it has aged terribly for sure, but there’s just this cheesiness to it. It’s so bad it’s good. I have plenty of memories of watching this as a young child in the doctor’s waiting room of all places.
RIP Jerry. I still love your cameo in the second Austin Powers movie.

Springer's show eventually became as staged as pro wrestling itself, especially when it became really outlandish, so it was kinda fitting he ended up involved with WWE on some level lol. It leaves behind a complicated legacy, but it's hard to downplay how influential (and popular) the show was in the 90's. Heard he was a really nice guy and class act away from the circus, too. He also had a hell of a "coming to America" story. He was the son of Jewish German refugees and was born in a London Underground tunnel that was serving as a bomb shelter during WW2. His grandparents were killed in the Holocaust. RIP Jerry. This was the same time people thought the Blair witch project might be real
