US Egg Posted May 4, 2023 Posted May 4, 2023 Springer springboarded off Morton Downey Jr. As did many others. Lucky for Downey, he got that Ironman role to resurrect his career. Quote

Another interesting fact about him is that he was born in London during WW2 to Holocaust survivors. I lived in Cincinnati around his time during college. Another interesting fact about him is that he thought it was a good idea to pay hookers with personal checks. That might give a little insight to the man and the show he created. It wasn’t for me, but it worked for him. I did NOT know about his birth, which is interesting. RIP Quote

He also had a place on Bird Key in Sarasota, as a number of celebrities do. There would be sightings all over town. But writing those checks is the first thing I think of. Jerry being Jerry, I doubt he would mind. 1 Quote
