'''Jerry Springer''' (born '''Gerald Norman Springer''' February 13, 1944, in [[London]], [[United Kingdom]]–died April 27, 2023) was a popular American talk show host that hosts the ''Jerry Springer Show'' since 1991.  Much of the show is staged for entertainment purposes and will usually degrade into a pushing and shouting match, as well as several instances of censored profanity being issued among the guests. Largely because of this, Jerry Springer during episodes generally interviewed the audience directly from the bleachers instead of being on-stage.
