Throughout history, pioneers have blazed trails for new ways of life. Lewis, Clark, and Sacajawea headed out west, Thomas Edison lit up our lives, and Rosa Parks showed everyone that it doesn’t matter where you sit on the bus. Today’s show subject is one of the pioneers of the entertainment world and changed the template of TV forever, Jerry Springer. Love him or hate him, Jerry Springer was must see TV back in the late 90’s and early 2000’s. Kids rushed home from school to tune in to the latest hair-pulling, clothes-ripping fistfight as parents everywhere cringed once they realized what their kids were watching. With Jerry’s past primarily in law and politics, how did the former Mayor of Cincinnati become one of the most hated men on TV? Did he know the impact he would have on society as a whole? Would you try to get Jerry Beads if you went to a taping of the show? We’ll dive into all this and more in the Jerry Springer episode of AHC Podcast.
