Yes, a funny, surprisingly self deprecating man. He was a guest on QI Series N Ep12 where he revealed that he was born in Highgate Tube station during WWII, but not during an air raid. He joked about being disappointed that "There's not even a plaque there!"
"Philip Astley is credited with discovering that the ideal size for a circus ring is 42 feet in diameter. This was the optimum size that enabled him to use centrifugal force to help balance on a horse’s back. As he rode at speed around the ring he used gravity to push himself into the horse’s back and thus prevent a nasty tumble onto the sawdust floor."
He was very funny. I saw him on "Who do you think you are" and he's a very thoughtful. sensitive and intelligent man. It is odd that he has that type of show but that's just what he's fallen into I think. it's the way he earns his money. Good money. but don't let it fool you that he's like one of his guests; he isn't.
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"
He gave it a good try and is smarter than I thought but I found Springer's voice so harsh and he always seemed to be shouting and underlining everything he said. He wasnt good at delivering British comedy lines very well, which isnt surprising. I fully understand that presenters often need to at least seem to shout and overemphasize every word for audiences of most US American comedy shows. And be obvious. That's why I don't watch them. Seth Myers and Jimmy Kimmel might do better because they get and use subtlety and suggestion

Jerry: *"You put this show on every week?"*
Paul: *"Yeah. We thought every day would be f(...)ing torture!"*
Who'd have guessed Jerry Springer would be so entertaining!? Thoroughly enjoyable. Thanks BH.
Rest in Peace Jerry. April 27, 2023.

Thanks so much for posting,
You know Jerry was once mayor of Cincinnati, OH, right?
Yeah, but it didn't pay worth a damn, so.....
"This is the guy that beat you?" Oh you mean the next Prime Minister, times have changed haha
I like Jerry Springer a lot more now than when he was a huge talk show celebrity. He's grown very witty and sage in his old age.
I think he's fed all the jokes by the shows writers.
@@TheJamie1965 even if he wasn't, British TV is a lot more open to the kind of jokes he wouldn't be making in the US, at least back then
@@Daark_Karma it is well known that whoever the presenter is (and they change weekly) that they read from the autocue.
@@TheJamie1965 I'm well aware. That's why i said "even if it wasn't" I was talking hypothetically.
@@TheJamie1965Not all the jokes.
See for instance 2:25.
Brilliant show. Well done all.
So, Boris polished his Brexit coping mechanisms early on. Lalalalalala...

32:26 Suddenly curious if that pig is still alive.
This is one of the better shows
"Don't laugh at Dawn" YEAH, I never have.
.Thank you.
Ken Livingstone really liking that Tessa Jowell joke lol
Sadly Jerry just passed..he was actually a very nice man..
One of the best!
my dishwasher caught fire
39:40 Just remember what he said. Thanks, Jerry!
Disappointed that the audience go “Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!” at the beginning
Good to look back at what slimy ex politicians are up to these days james purnell
And our PM soon... God help us!
So, what have we learned tonight...

2022, y'all saw that?
Twenty mince pies a week? Lightweight!
No one else picking up on how the guy likes Chavez.
Is it a beluga in a bathtub?
Jerry Springer, totally out of his element, if he couldn't read it, he didn't have a clue

@@Ana_crusis His interview with Paxman was interesting... ua-cam.com/video/vRW9O0yIuD0/v-deo.html
Baum is German for tree; baumgartner at a guess means forester or logger or something. Too lazy to Google.
A tree cultivator (gartner = gardener)
an arse cultivator
@@anonUK A (tree) nurseryman
Maybe Arboretum manager?
Or just head gardener of wealthy estate?
And in Dutch it's boom. Bum is from Platdeutsch or something similar ( I did look it up, but forgot the specific origin)
How embarrassing for us Tanks.

I never really understood that either
