April 27 (Reuters) – Jerry Springer, made famous in the United States by his rowdy eponymous talk show featuring contentious debates and fistfights between his guests in front of a rowdy audience, died on Thursday at the age of 79 years at his home in suburban Chicago, his family said.
The briefly mayor of the city of Cincinnati passed away peacefully after a brief illness, his family said in a statement, without specifying the cause of death.
Born in London on February 13, 1944, arrived in New York at the age of 4, he had a short political career before becoming a television news presenter and then, in 1991, having his own program, broadcast across the United States until 2018.
