Jerry Springer Biography
Jerry Springer was the unflappable host of the lighthearted, tawdry, and long-running daytime talk show, The Jerry Springer Show. An early avatar of “reality” television, his show seemed as much pro wrestling as talk show.
The son of Jewish refugees, Springer was born in England in 1944, but moved to New York City when he was five years old. He was educated at Tulane University and Northwestern University’s college of law before jumping into politics as an aide to the 1968 presidential campaign of Robert F. Kennedy.
After Kennedy’s assassination, Springer joined a law firm in Cincinnati, Ohio. He was elected to Cincinnati’s city council in 1971, when he was just 27 years old. He proved to be a popular and idealistic politician, though his rising political career stalled briefly when he was caught having paid a prostitute — with a personal check. He apologized, resigned, was re-elected to the council, and in 1977 was elected mayor of Cincinnati at the age of 33.

In 1970, Springer ran for Congress. He failed to unseat incumbent Republican Donald D. Clancy, but garnered 45% of the vote. He had previously spearheaded the effort to lower the voting age, including testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee in support of ratification of the 26th Amendment.
Springer was elected to the Cincinnati city council in 1971. He considered resigning in 1974 after admitting to hiring a prostitute.
