Jerry Springer has no idea why his trashy daytime talk show has been on the air for nearly two decades.

The Jerry Springer Show, which became famous in the early ’90s for its over-the-top themes and infamous fights between guests, has been in production for 19 years. Nonetheless, the former mayor of Cincinnati, now 65 — is puzzled by viewer’s attraction to the program.

“We’ve been doing this show for 19 years now and I’m really sorry for that. No-one had any idea that it would last all these years.”
