Jerry Springer | House Tour | $6 Million Sarasota, Florida Mansion & More

Without a doubt, Jerry Springer was easily one of the most recognizable names in all of talk television. I mean, after all, how many other hosts can you recall having their name chanted on a regular basis for minutes on end by their studio audience? Jerry might not have bribed his audiences by showering them in gifts like free books and new cars, but that didn’t stop his series from briefly beating out even “The Oprah Winfrey” show in the late 90s as television’s most popular day-time show. “The Jerry Springer Show” started as a political commentary program in 1991, but it would soon shift its focus to tabloid news in the mid-90s to become a ratings juggernaut. Over the next twenty-seven-years, Jerry would become the king of “shock-TV” and whenever he needed to escape the madness of enraged ex-lovers, flying chairs, or other dangerous projectiles, Jerry made his way back home to his residence in Sarasota on Florida’s Bird Key Island.
