The Jerry Springer Show, which ran from 1991 to 2018, was a globally recognized phenomenon that served as the blueprint for numerous imitators. These shows sought to create sensational drama using ordinary people’s extraordinary, almost unbelievable stories. Remarkably, it was even reimagined as an opera. Indeed, those were fascinating times!
Originally, the show wasn’t as controversial as it later became. Instead, its early seasons followed a typical talk-show format, focusing on politics. This was a stark contrast to the outlandish titles such as “I’m in Love with My Vacuum Cleaner and I Don’t Know How to Tell My Wife to Go Suck It” (though this wasn’t an actual episode title, it gives you an idea).
