The guests were characteristically rowdy, often breaking out into fist fights and screaming matches, broken up by security guards. It also became a trend for women in the audience to flash their breasts in exchange for “Jerry Beads,” Mardi Gras-style necklaces with the show’s logo. The series was loathed by critics, with TV Guide deeming it the worst TV show of all time in 2002. That didn’t faze Springer, who began introducing the program as the “worst TV show of all time” at the beginning of each episode.“Jerry Springer: Fights, Camera, Action” hails from Minnow Films and director Luke Sewell. Executive producers include Sophie Jones, Alicia Kerr and Sophie Leonard. Catherine Murnane is the producer.</div></body>
