Shows That Exploit Naive and Borderline Ignorant Folks

The Jerry Springer Show
Grand poobah of smut, Jerry Springer, has a long career of salacious activity, dating back to the days he resigned from the Cincinnati City Council, after news broke out that he hired a prostitute.
Springer’s honesty about paying for sex was the charm that won his seat back in 1975, everyone chanting, “Jerry, Jerry, Jerry.” Cincinnati even went on to elect Jerry Mayor in 1977. Clearly a man of the (ignorant) people.
The Jerry Springer Show began with a political bent, even hosting Jesse Jackson in the early days. The mid-90’s brought a new format, aimed at herding more viewers. Well-educated, non-accented, suit-wearing fuddy duddies were out; minimally educated, chair-throwing, snaggle-tooth types were in.
Score.
