The host’s tabloid talk show, The Jerry Springer Show, has run since 1991 and is famous for the chaos that his show often descends into as members of the public frequently argue and brawl over the issues they are discussing.

Now Jerry, whose career highlights also include being a lawyer, Cincinnati mayor, author, actor and ballroom dancer, has been booked as the keynote speaker at the Advantage conference in Miami from May 10 to 13.

The consortium’s managing director Julia Lo Bue-Said said: “We are utterly thrilled that Jerry Springer will be our keynote speaker at our 2018 conference in Miami.

“Our conference theme focuses on building a story and how to effectively communicate this narrative with audiences, and Jerry’s career and experience is a perfect example of how best to achieve this.

“His exuberant personality adds an exciting dimension to the conference and will give our members a new perspective.”
