Interview – Jerry Springer the Only Mayor with TEN Emmy Awards

Most people know Jerry Springer as host of the tabloid show, “The Jerry Springer Show” which debuted in 1991. However, most people probably don’t know he is much more than that.  Jerry’s parents both escaped from Germany but his grandmothers weren’t so lucky and died in concentration camps.  At 12 years old, he was watching the Democratic convention and was impressed with John F. Kennedy.  He earned a Bachelor of Arts from Tulane University in political science and he earned a law degree from Northwestern University.  He later became a political adviser to Robert Kennedy.
