    RIP Jerry Springer, Talk Show Icon and Former Cincinnati Mayor, Dead at 79

    By Kelly Wynne - People Magazine




    PEOPLE confirmed the celebrated talk show host and former Mayor of Cincinnati died in a suburb of Chicago on Thursday after a "brief illness."

    "Jerry's ability to connect with people was at the heart of his success in everything he tried whether that was politics, broadcasting or just joking with people on the street who wanted a photo or a word," Jene Galvin, family friend and spokesman said in a statement to PEOPLE. "He's irreplaceable and his loss hurts immensely, but memories of his intellect, heart and humor will live on."

    The statement continued, "Funeral services and a memorial gathering are currently being developed. To remember Jerry, the family asks that in lieu of flowers you consider following his spirit and make a donation or commit to an act of kindness to someone in need or a worthy advocacy organization. As he always said, 'Take care of yourself, and each other.'"



    Springer was the 56th mayor of Cincinnati in the 1970s. After his political career, he turned his sights to television. Springer was best known for his famed The Jerry Springer Show, which aired 28 seasons from 1991 to 2018.

    He also starred in another reality TV series Judge Jerry following the end of his talk show. At the time, Springer joked to PEOPLE the judging series was his first "grown-up job" in the 30 years since The Jerry Springer Show began.



    In addition to hosting his own series, Springer had a career as a lawyer, judge and actor. His film, television and podcast projects included Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, the game show Baggage, the 1998 comedy Ringmasterand The Jerry Springer Podcast.

    Watching Price is Right, Jerry, Maury and Judge Judy were absolute staples of sick days from schools in the 90's Good times.
