Jerry Springer became a household name through his decades-long broadcasting career but he had 'semi-retired' more recently in the year before his death this week.
It was announced earlier that the late presenter - known for his eponymous talk show, which ran from 1991 until 2018 - passed away peacefully, aged 79, on Thursday morning.
His death was confirmed in a statement issued on behalf of his family and a spokesperson is said to have shared that Jerry had a "brief illness" prior to his passing.
