Jerry Springer doesn’t care that his old show was a “stupid show.” He’s just happy people liked it.
“I can’t think of anything more fun,” Springer, now 78, told Page Six.
“I mean, I never took it seriously. I always knew it was a stupid show. But it’s fun, and people enjoyed it.”
The Jerry Springer Show aired 27 seasons and nearly 5,000 episodes between 1991 and 2018. It started with a focus on political issues but quickly devolved into guests’ tales of adultery and expletive-filled physical fights.
Springer likes that it was an ahead of its time reality show, focussing on real people that you would come across.
“Seinfeld, Frasier, Friends, it was always well-scrubbed-looking, upper middle-class people. And that was it, and all of a sudden my show comes on,” Springer told Page Six.
Springer can now be seen on Judge Jerry, which is syndicated in the U.S.
