Jerry Springer Net Worth: What Is Jerry Springer Net Worth?: Jerry Springer, officially known as Gerald Norman Springer was a British-born American broadcaster, journalist, actor, producer, lawyer, and politician.

Born on February 13, 1944, in Highgate tube station, London, United Kingdom, Springer served as the 56th Mayor of Cincinnati from 1977 to 1978.

He started his professional life working in politics, having studied both political science and law at university.

He became famous for his program, The Jerry Springer Show which was launched in 1991 focusing on social issues and US politics, led by the then mild-mannered Springer.

But in an effort to boost ratings, Springer switched things up dramatically after a few years, focusing on salacious and outrageous content.

Springer called his program “escapist entertainment”, but others saw the show as contributing to a dumbing-down of television and a decline in social values.

From 2007 to 2008, Springer hosted America’s Got Talent, and in recent years he fronted the courtroom show Judge Jerry (from September 2019 until 2022).

In October 2022, Springer starred in the US version of The Masked Singer – one of his final TV appearances.

Sadly, the iconic talk show host has died. Jerry Springer passed away at his home in Chicago, Illinois on Thursday, April 27, 2023, at the age of 79.
