Springer's show was often criticized for its chaotic nature and low-brow content. However, it became a symbol of daytime television, with almost 5,000 episodes aired. The show was also known for revealing the fringes of American society and led to controversies over the years.

Fellow talk show host Ricki Lake expressed her sadness over Springer's death on social media, saying that he was a lovely man and her longtime rival. Broadcaster Piers Morgan also paid tribute to him, calling him a "TV icon" and an "intelligent, warm, funny man."

Springer was born in a London Underground station during World War Two. His parents were Jewish refugees who were sheltering from a German bombing raid at the time. He moved to New York when he was four years old and started working in politics after studying political science and law at university.

He advised Robert F. Kennedy and served as the mayor of Cincinnati for a brief period. After an unsuccessful attempt to become governor of Ohio, he moved to TV journalism, starting as a reporter before working his way up to being an anchor.

Springer initially focused on social issues and politics on his talk show. However, in an effort to boost ratings, he switched to salacious and outrageous content, which drew criticism from some quarters.

Despite the controversies, the show was a hit and regularly topped the daytime TV ratings in the US. It ended in 2018 after nearly three decades on air.

Springer called his show "escapist entertainment," but others saw it as contributing to a decline in social values and a dumbing-down of television.
