In honor of Survivor’s 25th anniversary on May 31, TVLine is spotlighting the most iconic, unforgettable moments from the series that helped redefine reality television. Today, we’re talking Jonny Fairplay’s huge Pearl Islands lie, but be sure to revisit the jaw-dropping Borneo finale moment (you know the one) and the show’s very first tribe swap in Africa!

Villains might be a thing of the past in Survivor’s new era, but we’ll always cherish certain conniving moments from the early-aughts reality TV boom. From Omarosa’s first Apprentice appearance, to Evel Dick’s “hell week” on Big Brother 8 and,...

You wouldn’t quite call Obongjayar a rapper today, but back in 2016, he caught the eye of Richard Russell — the influential British producer who helped launch Adele’s career and heads the indie label Xl Recordings — with a freestyle over Kendrick Lamar’s “u” from To Pimp a Butterfly. The song had been a breakthrough for Obongjayar, one where he began to untangle some identity crises from his youth in Calabar, Nigeria to his young adulthood in London. Born Steven Umoh, he took on the name Obongjayar as he began to drift away from hip-hop,...

Edgar Wright's hotly anticipated adaptation of Stephen King's The Running Man isn't out until November, but one famous fan is already singing its praises. In an interview for the new issue of SFX Magazine via GamesRadar+, Glen Powell shared his experience of watching the film's CinemaCon teaser for the first time with his old Top Gun: Maverick co-star and friend, Tom Cruise. Ever the proponent of seeing movies on the biggest screen possible, the Mission: Impossible star came away with a very positive reaction, according to Powell, with some high praise for its theatricality. Not only does it bode well for Wright's take on the action thriller, but it also became an unforgettable memory for its lead, paying off all the hard work he put into the new adaptation.

"Watching that teaser with Tom Cruise is a memory I will never forget," he told SFX. "He was so stoked after watching it.

When Game of Thrones first strutted into HBO’s office, it wasn’t swinging a Valyrian sword; it came armed with a lowball budget pitch. Yup, showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss actually told execs it’d be cheaper than it really was. This was a bold move, considering they were about to unleash dragons, dire wolves, White Walkers, and battle scenes that make Marvel movies sweat.

Say what you will about the finale (we’re still side-eyeing Bran the Broken), but the show was a TV juggernaut, a weekly cultural event with global obsession levels. It turned actors into household names and gave us quotable lines, red wedding Ptsd, and spinoffs like House of the Dragon that still have us hooked. But back then? It was a massive gamble wrapped in a fantasy cloak. Even Benioff now admits he couldn’t believe HBO actually rolled the dice. Luckily, that...

On its massive-eyed face, “The Masked Singer” may seem like just a goofy reality competition series, meant for little more than an hour of escapism. And really, it is that. Fox’s singing contest is predicated on sticking various calibers of famous people in insane, occasionally nightmare-fueling costumes, having them perform for a live audience, and letting the audience guess who the voice belongs to.

It’s simple and merry, if occasionally a little obvious (just about everyone clocked Vanessa Hudgens and Amber Riley immediately). But, as it wraps up its 13th season this week, “The Masked Singer” has also become something else entirely, according to those who have competed on it — a surprisingly therapeutic experience.

The show originated in South Korea in 2015, titled “King of Mask Singer.” In 2017, executive producer Craig Plestis, a veteran in reality TV and now the President and CEO of Smart Dog Media, watched an...

As those in attendance at last week’s CinemaCon saw, there’s a lot to look forward to when it comes to Edgar Wright’s remake of The Running Man. Starring Glen Powell in the role first held by Arnold Schwarzenegger back in Paul Michael Glaser’s 1987 adaptation of the Stephen King novel, the movie has been building plenty of anticipation. Set in a dystopian future, the story follows a man named Ben Richards (Powell), who agrees to participate in a reality competition survival show that sees him pursued by hunters. Keeping the folks back at home entertained will be Colman Domingo’s Bobby Thompson, who hosts the family-favorite TV show. From the first teaser we saw last week, Domingo’s character is flashy, over-the-top, and downright entertaining — precisely the personality you’d tune into see week in and week out.

During a conversation with The Playlist, Domingo opened up...

This November we’ll be seeing writer/director Edgar Wright return to the world of action after his engergic romantic hesit film “Baby Driver” proved that he has more than just comedic chops and is looking to double-down with a remake of “The Running Man” as the remake at Paramount is expected to be quite the event for action film junkies with the promise of extremely elaborate stunts.

Exclusive: On April 15, comedian Tim Dillon is set to return to Netflix with I’m Your Mother, a new stand-up special that will premiere globally on the service.

The special is Dillon’s second for Netflix in recent memory following This Is Your Country, an unscripted hour framed as a Jerry Springer-style talk show, which took on the political and cultural climate in the U.S. leading up to the 2024 presidential election.

Described as a no-holds-barred, unapologetic ride through today’s chaos, the new hour sees Dillon tackle everything from his odd loyalty to the British royal family to roasting the world’s absurdities and more with no filter. Filmed at the Comedy Mothership in Austin, Texas, it’s written, directed and performed by Dillon, who exec produced alongside manager Dave Becky.

A brilliant satirist known for his no-holds-barred humor and incisive social commentary, Dillon’s first Netflix stand-up special A Real Hero,...

Have you ever experienced this before? You're watching one of your comfort shows from decades ago, something you remember fondly watching when you were younger and want to relive that same magic. All of a sudden, you come face-to-face with a horrific joke that no longer passes the vibe check. Everything from "Friends" to "The Simpsons" have jokes that aged terribly, but there's a different kind of realization you might come to with certain programs. While some shows have singular episodes that no longer work, some series have central premises that no network or streamer would take a chance on today.

Making a list of TV shows that would never be made today is pretty common, but many of these other lists have entries that just don't make sense. Like how can you say that "South Park" couldn't be made today when new episodes are currently getting made? There are...

“Jerry Springer: Fights, Camera, Action” unfolds in two segments that examine the notorious talk show’s transformation over time. The series adopts a reflective lens, using behind-the-scenes material and archival recordings to track how a conventional talk show gradually morphed into a stage for wild confrontations. The presentation interlaces historical recollections with practical insights into production decisions that shaped its evolution.

The series takes on the task of mapping the progression from a moderated discussion format to a live spectacle where tension and chaos dominated. It draws attention to the methods used by producers to orchestrate staged conflicts, and the ethical questions arising from the manipulation of guests caught in dramatic circumstances.

The narrative invites viewers to consider the impact of these production choices on both the audience and the participants, setting a frame for broader discussions about responsibility in television production.

This opening section outlines the review’s approach: assessing historical context,...

Howie Mandel had a light-bulb moment after Smashing Pumpkins’ Billy Corgan appeared on his podcast and confessed that he might be comedian Bill Burr’s long-lost half-brother. Why not have Burr on as a guest, then surprise him with an out-of-nowhere Corgan appearance?

The Jerry Springer-inspired stunt didn’t sit well with Burr when he figured out what was going on. “You’re an asshole,” the comic told Mandel as Corgan made his way to the podcast set.

Corgan seemed mortified. “He didn’t tell you?” said the singer, looking even more uncomfortable than Burr. “He told me you were totally cool with me coming.”

“Can this be edited out?” Burr asked, not kidding.

“I can go,” Corgan offered.

“Fuck it,” said Burr before turning his irritation to Corgan for bringing up the dubious family connection in the first place. “Did you ever think the fact that I never told that story,...

In 2003, British comedians Stewart Lee and Richard Thomas premiered Jerry Springer: The Opera, a new musical very loosely based on America’s Jerry Springer talk show. It was a real musical sensation, going on to win award after award and ran for a whopping 609 performances in London before touring. However, it was also the subject of fairly significant press and public outrage in the UK when a television version was broadcast a couple of years after the stage show opened.

On January 8, 2005, Jerry Springer: The Opera received its first-ever TV broadcast. By this point, it had become one of the most popular musicals in the UK, having retained its location at the prestigious Cambridge Theatre in the West End for over a year. It would later go on tour — but not before the complaints started rolling in. The controversial atmosphere would continue throughout its 2006 tour, and several performances were actually picketed by sign-waving protesters.

Here’s what Brynn Whitfield revealed about Rhony argument with Ubah Hassan ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

The dramatic ending of The Real Housewives of New York City has been quite a shocker for fans of the franchise. The feisty fights between Brynn Whitfield and Ubah Hassan escalated to the point of yelling, tears, and lots of allegations. The season 15 finale saw accusations galore and the cast members picking sides, with the majority being unhappy with Brynn’s lies.

Meanwhile, Ubah left the villa and spent the night in a hotel as she could not stand being in the same place as Brynn. The Internet has since been slamming the reality star for her behavior and her web of lies. Now, Brynn has spoken up about her experience and revealed she wanted to leave.

Cameron Diaz’s return to acting is going smoothly: “Back in Action,” a new Netflix film starring Diaz alongside Jamie Foxx, was the streamer’s most-watched title during the week of Jan. 13-19. With only three days of availability, the film hit 46.8 million views — the biggest opening weekend for an English-language film on Netflix since “The Adam Project” in March of 2022.

Diaz made another appearance lower down on the Top 10: “Knight and Day,” her 2010 action comedy also starring Tom Cruise, was No. 4 on the English-language films list with 5.2 million views.

“American Primeval” had its second week on top of the English-language TV list with 14.3 million views, this time edging out “Squid Game” Season 2 as the most-watched TV season of the week. (“Squid Game” still topped the non-English language TV list with 13.2 million views.) Close behind “American Primeval” with 14.2 million views was Season 2 of “Xo, Kitty,” a spinoff of Netflix...

Green light!

With 152.5 million total views, the second installment of “Squid Game” has become the third most-watched TV season on Netflix, trailing behind only its own first season (265 million) and “Wednesday” (252 million).

Four days after its Dec. 26 premiere, “Squid Game” Season 2 had amassed 68 million views in four days, becoming Netflix’s biggest TV debut ever. A week later, it had picked up 126.2 million views across 11 days, more than any Netflix series has ever achieved in that amount of time. Suffice to say, the Korean-language deathmatch drama spent another week atop the non-English TV top 10 list, with Season 1 resurfacing at No. 3.

On the English-language chart, Harlan Coben’s limited series “Missing You” took the No. 1 spot with 15.2 million views during the week of Jan. 6. It’s followed by the historical drama “American Primeval,” which nabbed 10.4 million views, and the Jerry Springer docuseries “Fights, Camera, Action” at 7.7 million. Other entries: the debut of “WWE Raw” at No.

When Jerry Springer died in 2023, his family refused to allow an autopsy. He hadn’t been sick for long, but this meant that fans wouldn’t know his cause of death. His family just wanted him to rest in peace and left it at that. However, the new documentary that just hit Netflix, Jerry Springer: Fights, Camera, Action, has finally revealed his cause of death.

It has also opened the door to other things that many fans didn’t know about the former talk show host. Here is what you need to know.

How Did Jerry Springer Die?

In the new documentary, Jerry Springer: Fights, Camera, Action, longtime publicist Rabbi Kopnick talked about Jerry Springer’s life and death. Kopnick said, “He hasn’t been sick for a long time. He died of cancer, and he didn’t have cancer for very long” (via The Mirror). Kopnick revealed Springer was suffering from pancreatic cancer,...

This article contains spoilers for Jerry Springer: Fights, Camera, Action.Jerry Springer: Fights, Camera, Action has some shocking reveals about the controversial talk show. The Jerry Springer Show ran for 27 seasons from 1991 to 2018, and not surprisingly, was embroiled in several scandals due to the outrage it created. Told through interviews with former employees and guests who appeared on The Jerry Springer Show, the Netflix documentary offers some details about what was going on behind the scenes.

When The Jerry Springer Show began airing, it pulled in low ratings, but after the show's format and stories changed, it became the most-watched daytime talk show. Despite the show having large viewership numbers, it wasn't exempt from being criticized harshly, and even got named the worst show in history by TV Guide, as reported by the Chicago Tribune. The Netflix documentary reveals whether the stories on The Jerry Springer Show were real or fake,...

Jerry Springer: Fights, Camera, Action reveals some insightful details about the show that overtook The Oprah Winfrey Show in the late 1990s and 2000s, including some comments by the Queen of All Media herself. While both The Jerry Springer Show and The Oprah Winfrey Show were popular talk shows that were characterized as tabloid talk shows, the two couldn't be more different. The Oprah Winfrey Show began airing in 1986, and within a relatively short time, the show swept the nation and became the most-viewed talk show of that era.

Jerry Springer's show began airing in late 1991, and like many other contemporary talk shows, it tried to carve out some space in the talk show landscape, but never expected to come close to competing with Oprah Winfrey, which regularly pulled in tens of millions of viewers per episode. However, when The Jerry Springer Show took off, it not only managed to compete,...

Netflix has audiences chanting "Jerry, Jerry, Jerry" with their new chart-topping documentary about one of the world’s most controversial and confrontational TV talk shows, The Jerry Springer Show. Taking a deep dive into the backstage chaos and cultural impact of the long-running series, Jerry Springer: Fights, Camera, Action has easily overtaken the mighty Squid Game at the top of the Netflix TV chart.

The Jerry Springer Show was a worldwide phenomenon, the template for many copy-cat talk shows that attempted to make over-the-top drama out of real people's almost unbelievable, and was even adapted into an opera. What a time to be alive. The groundbreaking show aired between 1991 and 2018, broadcasting a staggering 3,891 episodes during its 17 years. However, it was not always the highly controversial show it became, and its first seasons were a pretty standard format talk show with its central subject being politics. This was certainly a...

Jerry Springer’s televised reign was long, but all things, good or bad, come to an end.

Many may not be aware, but The Jerry Springer Show began its run as a political discourse program where Springer would mull over hot-button issues with distinguished guests (think something like The Today Show). It was far more of a thinking person’s show than the brainless affair it would quickly shift to.

For the bulk of its 27-year run, The Jerry Springer Show was the epitome of "trash TV." Screaming, name-calling, and physical brawls among guests were extremely common as the series shined a spotlight on their supposed relationship issues.

Jerry Springer and Howard Stern were both controversial media icons in the 1990s. At one point, the former nearly made Oprah Winfrey quit TV because of his "vulgar" show. So it made sense that he got along with the multimillionaire shock jock. The Howard Stern Show had always welcomed Jerry.

Howard even got Jerry to spill the tea on his "trash" reality TV show, which was sued for the deaths of two former guests. The latter also came clean on the former's radio show about the real reason he publicly admitted to soliciting a prostitute during his political days. Here's a closer look at Jerry and Howard's friendship.

Jerry Springer: Fights, Camera, Action sheds light on one of the most controversial shows ever to appear on TV, which earned that reputation largely due to the executive producer, Richard Dominick. The Jerry Springer show may have been controversial, but there was no denying how popular the show came to be during the 1990s and 2000s. Thanks to the show's reputation for bringing outrageous and intense interactions on a reality talk show platform, it played on people's curiosity with eye-catching headlines and brawls.

However, while Jerry Springer was the face of the entire operation, it took a large team of people behind the camera to keep the show going. From finding individuals with stories that were either interesting or bizarre enough, to priming the guests to be as loud, emotional, and aggressive as possible, there were a lot of moving parts. And helping to keep all of that running smoothly,...

The new documentary Jerry Springer: Fights, Camera, Action provides a behind-the-scenes look at one of the most controversial talk shows in history. Jerry Springer: Fights, Camera, Action, a new Netflix documentary, reveals the fascinating history of the talk show, which began in 1991. The Jerry Springer Show was very entertaining and ran for 27 seasons, from 1991 to 2018. The Jerry Springer Show started as a traditional talk show which tackled political issues, but quickly evolved into a show which discussed some of the most controversial topics in the world.

Some wild topics that came up on The Jerry Springer Show were adultery and incest, and these discussions often led to over-the-top physical and verbal fights between guest members. Jerry Springer was a journalist, actor, lawyer, and politician, who encouraged his guests to fight each other and is often noted as one of the pioneers of "trash TV." During its prime, The Jerry Springer...

The show ran for 27 seasons with nearly 4,000 episodes, leaving a big impact on pop culture. One of the most infamous moments was the “I Married a Horse” episode, where a man introduced his horse bride and even kissed the animal.

Though it was pulled after airing in New York, the controversy made people even more curious, causing a massive spike in viewers.

Even though Oprah criticized the show in public, The Jerry Springer Show eventually beat her in the ratings. It became the top daytime talk show, shocking many who believed Oprah’s reign was untouchable.

The documentary Jerry Springer: Fights, Camera, Action takes us behind the scenes of one of the most outrageous daytime talk shows ever. It shows how The Jerry Springer Show transformed from a flop to a massive hit, thanks to its shocking, often violent guests and jaw-dropping storylines.

The show ran for 27 seasons and nearly 4,000 episodes, leaving a lasting mark on pop culture. One of the most notorious moments was the ‘I Married a Horse’ episode.

A man brought his horse bride onto the show and even kissed the animal. This segment was pulled after airing in New York, but the controversy only made people more curious, sparking a huge surge in viewers.

Even though Oprah slammed the show in the press, The Jerry Springer Show eventually beat her in ratings. It became the top daytime talk show, shocking many who thought Oprah’s success was untouchable.

Producers weren’t shy about stirring up drama.

How did The Jerry Springer Show go from rags to riches? After Jerry Springer’s time in politics and law, he went into TV broadcasting where he went on to win an Emmy award. The Cincinnati back news anchor went on to go into unchartered waters as a talk show host. Netflix's Jerry Springer: Fights, Camera, Action explored the organic growth of the show from the bottom to the top.

Moving to Chicago, Springer didn’t have a household name or an idea to compose a talk, so he started out small in the day talk segment. Springer had trouble with TV ratings where he was bumped from the early morning segment to the after-midnight time slot.

The Jerry Springer Show didn’t have a sense of direction, but the needle came with the direction of a former tabloid journalist turned producer who led its success, which was Richard Dominick.

Jerry Springer: Fights, Camera, Action sheds light on some of the darkest and most challenging aspects of the globally popular talk show, with first-hand accounts unpacking the stories behind the scenes. Netflix has built up an impressive catalogue of documentaries covering a wide variety of topics, and once again, the platform has become the home of another great investigative documentary. Going behind the scenes of one of the most controversial shows ever to air on TV, Jerry Springer: Fights, Camera, Action goes into incredible detail across two episodes.

Jerry Springer is infamous for the eye-catching headlines and intense brawls that would break out on set. However, the show came from pretty humble origins as a standard talk show. But, to compete in the ratings, The Jerry Springer Show had to set itself apart somehow.

The Jerry Springer Show aired from 1991 until 2018, giving viewers some of the most iconic moments in daytime TV history. The late Jerry Springer, originally a political reporter in Ohio, hosted the series throughout its run and became well-known for dealing with the most crude, crass, and violent guests. Though Jerry's show was never meant to be the three-ring circus it became, it always seemed like he was good at dealing with his guests. He understood that even though their problems often seemed absurd, they should still be treated respectfully.

Some of the most iconic moments in the history of The Jerry Springer Show have been shown repeatedly. However, many new fans are possibly getting a chance to see it for the first time, thanks to Netflix. Jerry Springer: FIghts, Camera, Action, a documentary released in January 2025, takes viewers behind the scenes, showing how the show became the crash TV it...

If you grew up in the 1990s, there’s a good chance you spent at least one or more sick days home from school (or work) watching “Jerry Springer.” From the cheering (“Jerry! Jerry!”) and bizarre guests that make you feel better about your life choices, to the inevitable on-screen fights, this was the epitome of trashy television. Some might even say America wouldn’t be in the predicament it’s in today (with reality show popularity at an all-time high and even a former reality TV star returning to the White House) if it weren’t for “Jerry.”

The new Netflix documentary “Jerry Springer: Fights, Camera, Action” actually alludes to that at one point, but that might be a bit of a stretch.

From its inception in 1991, Jerry Springer’s daytime talk show kept audiences on their feet with outrageous stories that appeared to be ripped from supermarket tabloids.

Do you even remember one episode of The Jerry Springer Show? Netflix is releasing the documentary that goes behind the scenes of the show in Jerry Springer: Fights, Camera, Action.

The tell-all documentary will be streaming on January 7 based on the controversial show hosted by Jerry Springer.

This includes previous employees, associates, and producers of The Jerry Springer Show that was famous for tolerating fights including the famous chant of “Jerry!, Jerry!, Jerry!”. The show had competed with Oprah Winfrey in the day talk segment in the 1990s including being at its highest in 1997 and 1998.

About The Jerry Springer Show

The Jerry Springer Show focused on content that included troubled relationships that involved cheating scandals including adultery and incest. Guests of the show were mainly lower to middle-income American households who were often involved in secret relationships, including secret pregnancies and same-sex relationships.

Critics from TV Guide have proclaimed...

A new two-part documentary series is coming to Netflix next week. It is called Jerry Springer: Fights, Camera, Action. As the title suggests, this is a look at both Springer and the reality daytime talk show he created in the era of Crash TV. This was all about getting people on the stage and letting them argue and fight with each other for the world’s entertainment.

However, in the documentary, many people talk about the dark side of the show. One man said that his mom appeared on the show and was then killed after that, thanks to what Springer revealed for entertainment value.

Jerry Springer became a controversial figure in the 1990s after his initially political show was revamped into "trash" reality TV. The decision was due to poor viewership. At that time, Oprah Winfrey's show—which made her a billionaire—led the ratings.

But soon after Jerry's back-to-back scandalous episodes, Oprah was eventually unseated, even while the former faced lawsuits over deaths linked to The Jerry Springer Show.

Although they've never spoken (at least publicly), Oprah openly criticized Jerry's "vulgarity circus." She also threatened to leave her show, refusing to match the chaotic themes of her rival. Here's how Jerry stopped Oprah from quitting.

After Jerry Springer died in 2023, many fans thought he had some secret children from an affair due to a viral virtual play he did. But while he was known for exposing such scandalous relationships on The Jerry Springer Show—for which the reality TV host faced lawsuits over the deaths of two former guests—Jerry's personal life was the complete opposite.

Even to this day, many fans believe he and his wife, Micki Velton, divorced in 1994. But as it turned out, Jerry stayed married to Micki until his death. Their daughter, Katie Springer, later shared details about her parents' last days together, just two months before their 50th wedding anniversary.

Since Netflix took the entertainment world by storm, the streaming service has produced movies starring A-listers and TV shows featuring huge celebrities. Despite those major projects, many Netflix users are more excited about the streaming service's upcoming docuseries Jerry Springer: Fights, Camera, Action. The upcoming docuseries has left some fans wondering what happened to Jerry Springer and reflecting on if he was one of the '90s best talk show hosts.

One thing that isn't up for debate is how outrageous The Jerry Springer Show was. After all, Jerry's talk show featured offensive episodes, was the topic of a lawsuit that was filed after two deaths, and it was accused of hiring actors. With all that in mind, it is fascinating to look back at the worst moments of The Jerry Springer Show.

The Masked Singer has featured some of the most iconic singers, including season 12's most recent winners Boyz II Men (Buffalos) and runner-up Mario (Wasp), but I wish the show would have a whole season of non-professional singers. The Masked Singer premiered in January 2019, with host Nick Cannon and panelists Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg, Ken Jeong, and Nicole Scherzinger. During season 11, Rita Ora took Nicole's place on the panel while the latter star was busy with other commitments.

The Masked Singer has had twelve winners so far--T-Pain (Monster), Wayne Brady (Fox), Kandi Burruss (Night Angel), LeAnn Rimes (Sun), Nick Lachey (Piglet), Jewel (Queen of Hearts), Teyana Taylor (Firefly), Amber Riley (Harp), Bishop Briggs (Medusa), Ne-Yo (Cow), Vanessa Hudgens (Goldfish), and Boyz II Men (Buffalos)--and all of them are professional singers in some capacity.
