The long-running talk show, “The Jerry Springer Show,” spanned 27 seasons from 1991 to 2018, gaining notoriety for its blunt and provocative discussions on sensitive subjects like incest, racism, and adultery.

The series was strongly disliked by critics, with TV Guide labeling it as the most poorly rated TV show ever in 2002. Despite this, host Springer took pride in the title and started every episode by introducing it as “the worst TV show of all time.
