A British-born American broadcaster, Jerry Springer, on Thursday died at the age of 79 after battling a brief illness at his place of residence in  Chicago, United State Of America. 





This was announced in a statement released by Jene Galvin, a family friend and executive producer of Mr. Springer’s podcast.





“Jerry’s ability to connect with people was at the heart of his success in everything he tried whether that was politics, broadcasting, or just joking with people on the street who wanted a photo or a word,” he said.

“He’s irreplaceable and his loss hurts immensely, but memories of his intellect, heart, and humour will live on.”





The late Jerry Springer, best known for his boisterous television talk shows, hosted The Jerry Springer Show for nearly three decades, beginning in 1991.





Also, because of its focus on more political issues, the show struggled in the ratings during its first two seasons.



This resulted in a restructuring of the show, which by the mid-1990s was filled with controversial topics (such as incest and adultery), profanity, physical fights (a mix of boxing and wrestling), nudity, and scantily clad guests.
