Very Sad Day - Jerry Springer Passes Away at 79

I just saw that. As someone who came of age when the Jerry Springer show was on, it’s wild to me that he was mayor of Cincinnati and had a serious political talk show.

Also, the dating show he presented called “baggage” was amazing

Edit: serious not series

Gerald Norman Springer was born in the London Underground station of Highgate while the station was in use as a shelter from German bombing during World War II,[4][5] and grew up on Chandos Road, East Finchley. His parents, Margot (née Kallmann; a bank clerk) and Richard Springer (owner of a shoe shop), were German-Jewish refugees who escaped from Landsberg an der Warthe, Prussia (now Gorzów Wielkopolski, Poland).[6][7][8] His maternal grandmother, Marie Kallmann, who was left behind, died in the gas vans of Chełmno extermination camp (German-occupied Poland). His paternal grandmother, Selma Springer (née Elkeles), died at the hospital in the Theresienstadt concentration camp (German-occupied Czechoslovakia). Selma Springer's brother, Hermann Elkeles, was a renowned Berlin doctor who also died at Theresienstadt concentration camp.[9]
 
I must post this classic from “The Simpsons.”

Favorite dialogue:
Jerry: “We have the extramarital extraterrestrial backstage, in a sound-proof booth, where he can’t hear us.”
Kang: “I hear ALL!”



Side note: A former work colleague and I still greet each other with “Where you been at?”
