Jerry Springer - whose show The Jerry Springer Show just recently ended after having run for close to 27 years - was born in a London bomb shelter in 1944 to two Jewish refugees who had fled from the Nazi holocaust?
And that he, after having majored in political science, and then getting his law degree in 1968, worked as a political campaign adviser for Robert F. Kennedy till Kennedy was assassinated?
The Jerry Springer Show started as a politically oriented talk show, very much like The Phil Donahue Show. But after a couple of years it moved towards the tabloid type, sensationalist thing that it is mostly known for. If anything, it shows how multifaceted we people are, and in the video below (courtesy to Jeff Pinilla) you can hear how it all started - Springer telling about his roots in New York.
