Jerry Springer, one of the most influential talk show hosts in TV history, has died. He was 79.
Springer died peacefully in his home in suburban Chicago on Thursday, according to a statement from his family, local Cincinnati NBC affiliate WLWT5 reported.
“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,” said Jene Galvin, a lifelong friend and spokesman for the family. “He’s irreplaceable and his loss hurts immensely, but memories of his intellect, heart and humor will live on.”
