Amid a flood of tributes to Springer, fans have shared their thoughts on fellow talk show host Povich.
Maury Povich has become a trending topic on Twitter, following the death of fellow talk show veteran Jerry Springer.
Springer hosted the eponymous show for 28 seasons from September 1991 to July 2018. The show was often ripe with family drama, confrontation, controversial topics, screaming matches, and physical altercations between guests while on set.
After news of the talk show host’s death surfaced, clips from Jerry Springer flooded social media, with people recalling fond memories of Springer’s show and paying tribute to its well-known host. The social media users also made a point of mentioning Povich, 84, who, like Springer, launched his eponymous show in 1991.
Povich’s show, which aired until 2022, was also known for the wild antics of its guests, a number of whom memorably underwent lie detector and paternity tests.
As Springer’s death became a trending topic on Twitter, so too did the discussion around Povich and the childhood memories both men’s shows provided them.
