A documentary revisits the infamous Jerry Springer Show, exploring its rise to notoriety in the 90s and the impact of its controversial content on popular culture.
‘I don’t want to live in a country that watches my show’ … Jerry Springer with an audience member in 1991.‘I don’t want to live in a country that watches my show’ … Jerry Springer with an audience member in 1991.It was the most notorious chatshow in TV history, and this gobsmacking documentary shows that the people who worked on it still have no shame – despite possibly ruining countless lives
Such are the highlights – if that word can be used for a show that was blamed for ushering in a new era of cultural degradation – around which the documentary about the most notorious chatshow in television history is built. Jerry Springer: Fights, Camera, Action assembles key players from the time, focusing mainly on its 90s heyday when it was revolutionised by “diabolical genius” Richard Dominick. He felt himself bound only by law when it came to deciding what could be screened.
What is remarkable in this documentary is the denial and evasion of responsibility that persists, even now, from almost everyone involved in the show who is featured, despite footage of producers whipping guests up into a fury before pushing them on stage, in pursuit of the physical fights that would become synonymous with the show. By and large, the producers remember only the effort of finding guests and the thrill of the ratings. “We’re not trying to help nobody!” scoffs one.
