Jerry Springer – 150

English-born former politician, actor, producer, former lawyer, and former politician Gerald Norman Springer, or better known as Jerry Springer, is the host of a tabloid talk show, The Jerry Springer Show, from 1991 to 2018. Before becoming a host for his show, he earned his B.A. degree in 1965 from Tulane University and his J.D. degree in 1968 from Northwestern University. With these credentials, you are probably not surprised to find out that he has a high IQ.

He has a reported IQ of 150, pretty high, right? He was the political campaign adviser of Robert F. Kennedy, JFK’s younger brother. Being elected at the age of 27 in the city council, he made a huge mark in Cincinnati politics and eventually won the mayoral race of Cincinnati in 1977. He cited his job as a broadcast journalist as “the most ethically challenging profession of all time” after he lost the Ohio governor elections.
