Who's your daddy?

Asked by zenvelo (39429points) April 27th, 2023

Jerry Springer passed today. One of those people everyone knows of, but that no one will admit watching. Some would call his show a televised train wreck, where people would display the worst behavior.

Do you have any thoughts on Mr Springer passing?

Ohioans will weep.

Here’s a guy who was not stupid; a reasonably smart politician and leader, who really destroyed his reputation by getting involved with the stupid TV show. He may have gotten wealthy because of TV, but he could have been so much more.

May his memory be mixed.

He certainly caused people to behave at a more base level.
People acted like strutting idiots on his show. He encouraged it.

I loved his sarcastic wit.
Funny story, my bio dad told my mom ‘just don’t put me on Springer’ please. Haha!

I look at him as a above average intelligence type person whi simply took advantage of weak minded people. The only times I ever watched his program, was when I was somewhere I didn’t control the TV and couldn’t leave.
I can’t fault the man for making his living this way. He was a better person by far, than most evangelical TV personas…

I always look forward to Jerry Springer Thanksgivings.

My wife put it best, you can’t come out of watching Springer and not feel better about the decisions you have made in life.
Also, he was brave enough to do this at the height of the satanic panic.
