Jerry Springer: The Opera
[edit]Does anyone have any sources relating to how Jerry Springer reacted to the musical 'Jerry Springer: The Opera'? I don't have any information on this but perhaps someone has read his autobiography, or seen some footage of an interview or something. I feel it warrants being included either on this page or the musical's own page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.86.50.220 (talk) 20:39, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
Statutory Rapist
[edit]Everything I've ever heard on the subject of the prostitute he basically defrauded is that she was 15 years old, Does anyone know if that's true? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.18.227.100 (talk) 21:28, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
Jerry Springer Birthplace
[edit]This article states that he was born in Highgate tube station. The article about East Finchley states that he was born in East Finchley tube station. 86.147.112.88 (talk) 00:13, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
- Unlikely. Highgate is actually underground, and thus was used as an air raid shelter. East Finchley is not underground, and so wasn't. Nick Cooper (talk) 16:06, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
- The claim although sourced is rather sketchy considering that bombing of Great Britain was over by the time of his birth. StrongALPHA (talk) 10:52, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
English
[edit]He was born in England to German parents who had escaped Germany, and he left soon after. How does this make him "English"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.243.186.206 (talk) 04:33, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
- He was born in England. And he could be referenced as British as well. I'd say he became a naturalized citizen of the United States when he was young. - Kiraroshi1976 (talk) 05:49, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
- He is neither English nor British. Being born in London doesn’t make someone British. Find evidence that he has even referred to himself as British or English. 120.22.9.241 (talk) 08:21, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
- He could have claimed British citizenship, as he certainly met the criteria for it at the time. Nick Cooper (talk) 16:10, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
- He is neither English nor British. Being born in London doesn’t make someone British. Find evidence that he has even referred to himself as British or English. 120.22.9.241 (talk) 08:21, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
Former soldier?
[edit]The current version of this page says he was a former soldier, with no source. I scanned through most of the on-line sources for the article, but found no evidence for that. A Google search only finds one source for this claim: Uncyclopedia, the Wikipedia satire
This assertion seems to have been first introduced in [1]. It was rightly removed in [2], but this edit was immediately identified as vandalism and reverted in [3].
Until someone can provide a decent source for the claim, I propose it be removed.

STOP FUCKING PROTECTING PAGES EVERY SINGLE TIME SOMEBODY DIES! ITS FUCKING RIDICULOUS!! PEOPLE MAY HAVE THINGS TO ADD!! WIKI IS FUCKING SHIT THESE DAYS!! 95.144.64.139 (talk) 15:17, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
- When a celebrity dies they're often in the news a lot more than when they were alive, which often prompts would-be trolls to capitalize on the shock factor of vandalizing the page of somebody whose dead body is still warm. Semi-protected status is warranted. JBrahms (talk) 15:27, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
