TV Icon. Journalist. Politician. Subject of Opera. Jerry Springer has a unique place in popular culture, and now takes to the Edinburgh TV Festival stage to deliver the Alternative MacTaggart.

UK-born Springer has described himself as a “political junkie” and began his career as a former political campaign adviser to Robert F Kennedy before becoming mayor of Cincinnati.

His broadcasting career began with a stint as a political reporter and commentator on Cincinnati’s NBC affiliate, WLWT. He subsequently became the station’s number one news anchor where he created his signature line: “Take care of yourself, and each other,” and won several local Emmys.

His eponymous TV talk show originally began as a politically-themed series before it was revamped to focus on more sensationalist stories. It became famous for its confrontational style with families taking each other to task over issues such as homosexuality and prostitution, attracting record ratings.

Springer shares his views on politicians’ relationship with the media and what part traditional news organisations can play to uphold democratic debate in an era of fake news.
