The_annoying_one Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 This is a shame. I was never a fan of his talk show, but “Baggage” was a guilty pleasure for the short time that it aired. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jman Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Well, RIP to one of the greats of "guys you watched because you were sick that day" alongside Bob Barker. "Take care of yourselves, and each other" is still good advice for everyone. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[classic swim] Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 He used to say he had “the worst show on television.” He struck gold though. Always admired the amount of modesty that came with. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katt_goddess Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 I just saw this on the news. Everything ends but still. And so a video toast in the most horrible taste possible that's still funny as hell and basically is the high point of 'Jerry Springer' in a nutshell. [ so warning, 90's level slang used that might be inappropriate for obvious reasons today] 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsar4 Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 It's too bad Jerry didn't appear as Mayor on WKRP. I never watched any of the Wally George/Morton Downey Jr./Geraldo/Donahue/Maury/Jerry stuff unless I had no other option (including turning the tv off). Good to hear he really was as nice a guy in private as I had heard. Handing the cameraman for his show, who lost everything in Katrina, a blank check is amazing. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DragonSinger Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 I actually didn't watch too much because there were a few cartoons in that time slot no one else watched and soap operas. But when I did watch his show, I will say, you were entertained. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone seems adequately bummed over Jerry but I've been lurking, listening for what made him a piece of shit. My cousin and ex both failed me....you were my last hope. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never had a reason to look into him. He took the money and mostly shut up other than a few instances about thinking of running for office. There was a Jenny Jones situation that flew under my radar. Ethics in talk shows or the morality of even having them is a topic I don't have much bandwidth for. I will say from secondhand knowledge, it's near impossible to stop people from going on those shows once they decide to do them. There was an attempted family intervention for a relative to stop her from going on Maury. They didn't sugarcoat anything and told her what the outcome was gonna be, including her mama. She went and it ended up as badly as predicted. Edited April 28, 2023 by DragonSinger 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
