If we haven’t made it abundantly clear yet, Jerry Springer was a consummate hustler. Because while he was anchoring the news, hosting “The Jerry Springer Show,” recording a podcast, and handing down verdicts on “Judge Jerry,” he also managed to complete a half-dozen other projects in TV, movies, and on the stage.
In 1998, he starred in his first feature film, “The Ringmaster,” a fictional tale that was essentially an episode of “The Jerry Springer Show.” The movie followed two messy families as they set out to solve their differences on a daytime talk show. The host (played by Springer, of course) struggles to keep the drama in check and wrestles with his dubious claim to fame. The same year, Springer wrote an autobiography, also called “Ringmaster,” that detailed his early years and real-life meteoric rise.
When he wasn’t busy running the show, Springer also performed in it. In 2006, he competed on “Dancing with the Stars,” making it to the seventh week before getting eliminated. In 2022, he sang his heart out as the beetle on “The Masked Singer” (this would be one of his last television appearances). And way back in 2009, he spent several weeks as Billy Flynn in “Chicago,” at Atlanta’s Fox Theater.
And that’s not even everything. A full list of the projects he completed would take forever to get through, so we’ve just included some of the highlights. To us, these accomplishments prove that no matter what his detractors may say about him, Springer had no shortage of talent or drive.
