American journalist, talk show host, and the 56th mayor of Cincinnati, Jerry Springer, has died, TMZ has confirmed. He was 79.

A family spokesperson told TMZ that Springer had been diagnosed with cancer a few months ago.

The show’s live audience famously cheered him onto the stage, screaming “Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!” every single episode.

Springer is survived by his daughter, Katie Springer.
