Jerry Springer, the longtime talk show host, died Thursday at his home in suburban Chicago at age 79.

Springer -- whose real name is Gerald Norman Springer -- was born Feb. 13, 1944, in London during World War II to parents Richard and Margot, German Jews who had fled to England to escape the Holocaust. The family later moved to the Queens neighborhood of New York City when Springer was just a few years old.

He studied political science at Tulane University and later received a law degree from Northwestern University.

Springer is best known for his always controversial "Jerry Springer" talk show, which ran in syndication for 27 years from 1991 to 2018 and aired nearly 5,000 episodes.

He unsuccessfully ran for Congress in 1970 but the following year was elected to the Cincinnati City Council, resigning three years later. In 1975, he rebounded, winning back his seat on the city council and ultimately going on to serve as the mayor of Cincinnati for one year beginning in 1977.

For us 90s kids, Jerry Springer was a legend. His show was trash TV at its finest.
