Most everyone knows about Jerry's circus like TV show but not many realize how much Cincinnati Jerry has in him. In addition to being on city council and mayor for two years he was also on a local news channel WLWT for many years. I got to meet him several times and he was super nice just like he was in public.

But Jerry had a dark side that many people don't know about...

That's right Jerry paid prostitutes with checks while on city council, quit when it was made public, and actually got reelected later before becoming mayor! This is pretty shocking for a place like Cincinnati and I still can't believe how far Jerry was able to go with this in his past.

RIP Jerry you will be missed...

Cancer sucks.

That's pretty much how Sydney mayors roll. Local government may be the most corrupt as they deal with property developers etc.

Anyway complicated cat and a colourful identity for sure. Wasn't there a musical based on his life?



SNOWFLOWER ELDER SAY ALL FOR THE TRAGIC

He was an early adviser to Robert F. Kennedy but made more money being a sensationalist. What a vapid era of TV, not that’s it’s anything better now.

Jerry Springer. Pbpbpbththt.

Gawd I hate his sensationalistic trashy TV show. Pure garbage.

His legacy, for most of us, is not as Cincinatti's mayor: It's the despicable bizarre freakshow television program he hosted for years.
