Jerry Springer, legendary talk show host, dead at 79
CINCINNATI —
Jerry Springer, legendary talk show host and former mayor of Cincinnati, has died, according to a statement from his family. He was 79.
According to a family statement, Springer died peacefully Thursday at his home in suburban Chicago.
Outside of his famed chair-throwing, tabloid-style television show, Springer was also known for his political chops and background.
He entered politics with an unsuccessful congressional race in 1970. He was elected to Cincinnati Council the following year, resigned in disgrace three years later in a Northern Kentucky sex scandal, then was re-elected a year later, demonstrating his popular appeal despite the fresh baggage.
He served as Cincinnati's 56th mayor in 1977.
