In the summer of 1995 “Jerry Springer” aired in Philly at 3AM. I wondered what this guy looked like. “One night I’ll wake up and find out,” I thought. Is it 4AM already? Too late, “Leeza Gibbons” is on. Another night, again it’s past 4. Finally, I got up one night at 3! With the old TV’s volume turned down I slowly tuned the VHF knob to Channel 3 (to not wake up my family - remember how loud those knobs were?). Lo and behold, Jerry Springer is this dorky-looking guy with glasses. I was expecting someone with a mustache like Geraldo Rivera. “I should have known! I’m going back to bed.”; R.I.P. JERRY SPRINGER
