Bummer. I feel like he started the trend of chat show insanity

Damn, rip

That's sad, he's a very interesting person and his Who Do You Think You Are? episode (like most of that generation) is really quite something.

My heros are dying off. Sad

In all honesty, seeing a lot of "names" now passing away really puts the mortality of your own life in perspective :/

We're all getting that step closer to joining them

RIP, I remember watching some of that back in the 90's.

Did he have a pony tail at one point?

Nice guy, shame about the show.

RIP Jerry.

Am i going mad or does any one else remember an episode where he was "eaten" by a huge animal puppet?

He seemed like a good dude when he was interviewed but ultimately he got rich from exploiting poorly educated working class people, like Jeremy Kyle.

Lucky for Jerry he actually had a personality unlike Kyle who just came across as unlikeable and grim.

I always wanted the guests to lay Jeremy out. Used to insult and scream at them because he had security guards. At least Jerry was calm and polite to his guests.

Looking at that, how hard it was to come to this country, and now how easy it is. Makes you wonder how lucky some people have it.

Yeah Jerry seemed much more of a kind gentleman than Jeremy Kyle.

Both exploited vulnerable people for entertainment though.

RIP Jerry.

I'll be watching Jerry Springer the Opera tonight then. Only slightly less ridiculous than some of his guests were in reality.
