The Jenny Jones Show[i] is an American first-run syndicated talk show that was hosted by Jenny Jones. Taped at WMAQ-TV in Chicago, the show ran for twelve seasons from September 16, 1991, to May 21, 2003. Conceived as an alternative to the sensational tabloid talk shows of the early 1990s, the show's first season primarily focused on celebrity interviews and lifestyle segments. After it received mild ratings, the show reformatted to single-topic panel discussions with everyday people. These topics were often emotional or provocative in nature, with the guests discussing their varying experiences and views. Jones moderated these discussions, with the studio audience offering further questions and advice. Additionally, the show frequently featured live musical performances by various artists.
The Jenny Jones Show was produced by David Salzman Enterprises and Telepictures Productions, and it was distributed by Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution. Jones was approached about hosting a talk show after producers saw news coverage of her nightclub act, Girls' Night Out. The show debuted on 178 television stations nationwide, which was the largest launch in syndicated talk show history. The Jenny Jones Show was one of the highest-rated talk shows of the nineties. It received two Nancy Susan Reynolds Awards and three Excellence in Media’s Silver Angel Awards. However, the show also received criticism from media commentators and audiences over claims that it exploited its guests. Common topics discussed on the show included makeovers and out-of-control teenagers.
In 1995, The Jenny Jones Show experienced controversy after a former guest murdered another three days after they were featured in a taping of the show. Titled "Revealing Same Sex Secret Crush", the episode depicted self-proclaimed secret admirers revealing their crushes to guests. Jones was required to testify at the ensuing criminal trial, which received wide coverage by the news media. In 1996, the victim's family filed a negligence lawsuit against The Jenny Jones Show. The litigation resulted in a national media frenzy, with criticism directed at the use of "ambush" tactics by tabloid talk shows. It additionally resulted in a national debate over shock value and tabloid television in the United States. The Jenny Jones Show ultimately prevailed in the suit, in which the court held that the guest's actions following their appearance on the program were unforeseeable.
