The Jerry Springer Show has one of the most interesting “story arcs” out of all daytime, syndicated television programs. Its host, the one-time mayor of Cincinnati and a sometimes politician, debuted the program in 1991 as a politically oriented, somewhat hard news talk show, which included guests like Oliver North and discussed issues such as gun control and healthcare.

The British controversy, together with a financial falling-out among the producers, probably accounts for why "Jerry Springer: The Opera" has so far not enjoyed a Broadway transfer. Instead it has had modest regional productions in Chicago, Memphis and Minneapolis, and on Tuesday and Wednesday it will be performed at Carnegie Hall in a concert version with the actor Harvey Keitel, of all people, in the title role, the only nonsinging part in the show.

The Jerry Springer Show debuted on 20 September 1991. It was developed by WLWT-TV to replace its Phil Donahue Show.

His popularity boiled over and, when The Phil Donahue Show changed stations, The Jerry Springer Show debuted. It started off as a rather high-brown political program, with guests like Oliver North and Jesse Jackson. But the call of higher ratings pushed Jerry toward a more – low-brow – style.
