The “Jerry Springer Show”: Cultural Phenomenon or Trash TV?
Note: The content discussed in this episode may not be suitable for all ages.
“The Jerry Springer Show” sparked boycotts and protests led by a priest, was referred to as the pioneer of Trash TV, and released an episode that was immediately banned due to its inappropriate content.
Yet the tabloid talk show has also been referred to as a cultural phenomenon, so popular that it once bested the wildly successful “The Oprah Winfrey Show” in the ratings for 26 consecutive weeks.
In this lively episode, we discuss the controversial “The Jerry Springer Show.”
What caused the show’s focus to change from news and politics to the outrageous topics we remember? What key figure is often credited with being the mastermind behind “The Jerry Springer Show?” Was there any truth in the accusations that the fights were fake or scripted? And how was “The Jerry Springer Show” involved in a tragic murder case?
