Jerry Springer has been hailed as a “class act” who “excelled” as a talk show host due to his ability to “connect with people in a unique and authentic manner” following his death aged 79.
Springer, who was born to Jewish immigrant parents in Highgate underground station in London while it was in use as a shelter from German bombing during World War II, grew up in East Finchley before immigrating to the US age four.
