“Jer-ry! Jer-ry! Jer-ry!” Most ’90s kids will remember the chants from days spent home sick from school browsing daytime television, landing on the wild, often controversial Jerry Springer Show. Hosted by the late former Cincinnati mayor and local news anchor Jerry Springer, the daytime talk show ran for 27 seasons, a televised circus tent where every act was an over-the-top melodrama featuring love triangles, secret siblings, and the occasional flying chair. But how did “the worst TV show of all time,” as Springer himself introduced it, become one of the biggest and most outrageous hits of the ’90s? Jerry Springer: Fights, Camera, Action is a new two-part documentary series that explores the show’s origins and meteoric rise. The jaw-dropping series tells the story of the show as it’s never been told before, with extraordinary firsthand testimony and revelations from show insiders who lay bare the dark truths behind its entertaining facade.
