Turn on a television between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. during the 1990s?

Scott Amador, he loved daytime talk shows.

His night shift hours meant that he was home during the day,

He thought Oprah's approach to her show was kind of dull. He liked shows with more shock value and more airing of dirty laundry.

And his favorite was the Jenny Jones show.

Jenny Jones filmed at NBC Studios in Chicago and it ran from 1991 until 2003.

By the end of its 12-year run, they had filmed over 2,000 episodes and had over 50,000 guests.

The show was hosted by Jenny Jones, a former musician, backup singer, and comedian.

When her show first aired, the format included celebrity guests and segments on exercise, cooking,

and fashion.
