Jerry Springer, an iconic figure in American television and entertainment, has died at the age of 79.

Springer’s publicist, Linda Shafran, confirmed his passing with Fox News Digital on Thursday (April 27) morning.

For more than 30 years, Springer hosted his own show, The Jerry Springer Show, which became infamous for its outrageous topics, confrontational guests, and over-the-top antics. While the show was often criticized, it also became a cultural phenomenon, inspiring countless imitators and parodies.

Jerry Springer remained beloved in the entertainment industry. He began his career as a lawyer and politician, serving as mayor of Cincinnati, Ohio from 1977 to 1978. After his political career ended, he turned to broadcasting, eventually landing his own talk show in 1991.

While he may be gone, Jerry Springer’s legacy lives on. He has left an indelible mark on American culture, and his contributions to the entertainment industry will be remembered for generations to come.

May he rest in peace.
