My grandma used to let me and my cousins watch it back in the 90's to show us who to avoid for dating. Worked out pretty well for them but for me it was basically looking into a crystal ball :P :lol:

I was a big fan of his crass entertainment and actors following scripted conflicts. Will miss his is sense of humour RIP

What can one say about him?

Decades later I still remember Jay Leno was doing his opening monologue about the latest headlines.

And the whole Thomas Jefferson-Sally Hemmings scandal was just coming to light.

So Leno quipped that "turns out that Jefferson was having an affair with his wife's half sister. So now we know that ....not only was Jefferson one of the Founding Fathers of our nation, but that he was also one of the Founding Fathers of the Jerry Springer Show."

So...I hafta thank and salute Springer for being the punchline of some of the most memorable and meaningful jokes Ive ever heard! :lol:
