In the ’90s, American daytime talk television changed for the worse with the likes of Montell Williams, Maury Povich, Jenny Jones, and Ricki Lake. However, the show that was most notable for trash TV was The Jerry Springer Show.
We watched the fights, the tears, the cursing, the fights (you have to mention it twice), and so much on our television sets. But did you ever wonder what really went on when the cameras weren’t rolling?
Netflix is going to show us that in Jerry Springer: Fights, Camera, Action.
This jaw-dropping, premium two-part series will tell the story of The Jerry Springer Show as it’s never been told before. Packed with extraordinary first-hand testimony and revelations from show insiders, the series explores how this daytime talk show became one of the biggest and most outrageous TV hits of the nineties. But behind the entertaining facade lay some darker truths. As we hear from the producers and ex-guests of The Jerry Springer Show, a murkier picture begins to emerge of the destruction it caused, raising renewed questions about who was responsible, and how far things should go in the name of entertainment.
