“Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!”  I’m sure you’re all familiar with that lovely saying.  It’s the chant of White America egging on a fight during one of your/our favorite talk shows.  But did you know that before Jerry Springer there were plenty of other talk shows that paved the way for all the lovely fighting you so desperately root for today?

Oh yes.  It existed way before Mr. Springer.   It went on in other countries and it certainly existed here.  It just didn’t happen on the scale that it does now.  However, there were some doosies back in the day.

Check out these talk show fights -- classic.
