Remembering Jerry Springer: The Man Behind The Show That Shocked America

on April 27, 2023 HANZDOWN MEDIA News add comment

Jerry Springer, the iconic host of The Jerry Springer Show, passed away after a brief illness at the age of 79. The talk show host rose to fame with his controversial program that ran for 27 years. Although Springer was known for his outrageous guests and dramatic confrontations, he once called his show “stupid” and regretted the effect he thought it had on American culture.

Springer’s journey to becoming the king of daytime talk shows was not an easy one. After running for Ohio governor in 1982, Springer tried his hand at commentary and eventually landed his own show. But it wasn’t what he intended it to be. “When we started, we were a serious show,” Springer said. “But then all of a sudden, it started going crazy. And when Universal bought us, they said, ‘From now on, only crazy.'”Despite the show’s immense success, Springer had his doubts. “No one’s watching because of me,” Springer said. “They’re watching because the stories are crazy and the people are outrageous.” Springer even went as far as to say that he “ruined the culture” with his show.

JERRY SPRINGER THE CONTROVERSIAL KING

The show’s content was often criticized for its lack of morals and ethics, with guests like a Ku Klux Klan member, a mole person, and a man who married a horse. But Springer was adamant about having no censorship. “If I can do a show where I’m okay that neo-Nazis are on, then what am I going to say no to?” he said.

While the show brought fame and fortune, it also brought its fair share of challenges. Springer once had a neo-Nazi guest on his show, which resulted in an emotional outburst from the host. “I kind of lost it,” Springer said. “I’d lost my family in the Holocaust, so when he started talking about turning my mother into a lampshade or something, I lost it.”

Jerry Springer’s legacy will be forever associated with his eponymous show. While he may have regretted the impact it had on American culture, there’s no denying that it left an indelible mark on the talk show genre.

Davis, who improved to 29-0 with the win, showcased his power and precision, landing a left uppercut in the second round that sent Garcia to the mat and then working the body for the remainder of the fight.

The sold-out crowd of 20,842 included notable celebrities and former champs, making the event a true spectacle. Davis’ victory could set up a showdown with undefeated Devin Haney, who owns all four major championship belts in the division. But for now, Davis has put himself in position to succeed Canelo Alvarez as the face of the sport.

While the lasting impact of the fight remains to be seen, Davis and Garcia both showed mutual respect at the end of the bout. Despite Davis’ status as a substantial betting favorite, Garcia expressed admiration for his opponent, recognizing the power of the body shot that ultimately ended the fight.In the world of boxing, it’s rare to see two boxers in their prime willing to take on each other rather than carefully choose opponents to enhance their resumes. This fight was a testament to the skill and bravery of both Davis and Garcia, and a reminder of the excitement and thrill that the sport of boxing can bring.

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant is in the spotlight again, but this time for an injury that he sustained during Game 1 against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Good News Bad News for Ja Morant with Injury to his Hand

Despite the good news, Morant’s participation in Game 2 remains uncertain. Charania reports that Morant’s injury primarily revolves around pain tolerance. Which means that his status will be determined by how well he can manage the pain. Morant himself admitted that he may not be able to participate in the next game, stating that his status for Game 2 is “in jeopardy.” In a post-game interview with ESPN’s Tim MacMahon, Morant revealed that he was unable to perform basic tasks such as “undo a balled-up pair of socks” due to the excruciating pain in his hand.

In Game 1, Morant played for 30 minutes and contributed 18 points, six rebounds, and two assists. However, his departure from the game with just under six minutes left. Unquestionably proved costly for Memphis, as the Lakers outscored the Grizzlies by 12 points for the rest of the game.

This injury comes after Morant missed 21 games during the season due to various reasons. With the Grizzlies winning 11 out of 21 games without him. If he is unable to play in Game 2, backup point guard Tyus Jones, who scored nine points in 25 minutes during Game 1. Would most likely replace him in the starting lineup.

As the Grizzlies look to even the series with the Lakers. All eyes will be on Ja Morant and his recovery. Fans and analysts alike will eagerly await updates on his condition leading up to Game 2.

Hip-Hop Icon Scarface Says Farewell

on August 25, 2022 Artist Entertainment HANZDOWN MEDIA add comment

When Hip-Hop first began in the late 70’s the genre was labeled as a passing fad, but even with it’s initial spark, some had ruled it to quickly fizzle out like disco or jazz. Hip-Hop was especially designed to provide a voice to the voiceless. The birthplace and essence of Hip-Hop will be debated about for years to come. One thing we do know to be a fact that it reached as far west as Los Angeles California and as far South as Houston Texas. The birth place of one the most prolific MC’s who has ever touched a mic Brad Jordan aka SCARFACE.

HIP HOP – DJ KHALED FT SCARFACE & NAS

(KISS THE RING)

“HIP HOP HEARTBREAKS, STRAIGHT LACED DEEP BASS 808’s, PLUS THE MIXTAPES”

SCARFACE

Scarface had that voice and witty rhyme flow that could match perfectly with the best of them. In addition, his keen ear which allows him the ability to produce his own projects. Just take a listen to his latest and undeniably his best body of work DEEPLY ROOTED.

Despite having eleven studio albums, 2 compilations and countless of features it’s safe to say that the body of work Brad Jordan has put together is incomparable to anything in Hip Hop has been able to listen to.
