I remember him from Dancing with the Stars and got a completely different vibe from him than from his TV show. I believe he was mayor once.

Wow, I didn't even know he was ill. I wasn't a fan but I'm sure he'll he be missed by those who were. He was one of a kind, that's for sure.

He was mayor of Cincinnati in the 70's.

Like his show formats or not, Mr. Springer and his production company fell into a formula of brash TV fare that garnered a massive audience in syndication for nearly 30 years.

He came a long way from being the mayor of Cincinnati.

JERRY! JERRY! JERRY!

Sad to see him go but his TV show wasn't very good. At least we still have Maury Povich.

He was definitely a pre-internet generation's version of viral TikTok, that's for sure.

I hope St. Peter did a few fist pumps when opening up the gates.

I didn't waste my time, but mad respect for anyone who can stay that relevant for so long, especially in entertainment.

Jerry Seinfeld came to my mind. Good grief. Then as I read, it dawned on me who he was. I need to be careful on those. That's too bad.

He was 79 years old. He had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer a few months prior. May he RIP.

This really saddened me. I enjoyed him in interviews, DWTS, and a lot of his clsoing statements from the Jerry Springer show. He was an interesting and entertaining man.

I was not a fan,of his show.

I never watched his talk show (it was definitely not my thing) BUT he was known as a very kind and caring person. He was not only a mayor here in Cincinnati but he was a tv news anchor here for 10 years as well. Hearing people who knew him talk, he was kind to everyone he met, even if you weren't on his side of the political fence. He didn't want people to know he had cancer so this came as a shock to everyone except his closest friends and family.

He wasn't perfect but that is true of us all.

What I liked about Jerry Springer:

He was highly intelligent.

He was highly humble.

That's a winning combination in my book.

May you Rest In Peace, Mr. Mayor
