The Jeremy Kyle Show is an American daytime television tabloid talk show hosted by Jeremy Kyle that premiered on September 19, 2011 (along with The Bill Cunningham Show). The series was based on Kyle's British talk series of the same name. The series was taped in New York. [1] The program was a co-production of ITV Studios' U.S. subsidiary, ITV Studios America and Debmar-Mercury, which served as distributor for the U.S. version while ITV kept all international rights. [2]
As with the UK version, the series used a confrontational style, which saw guests attempt to resolve interpersonal relationship issues, such as family, relationship, sex, drug, alcohol and other issues. [3] [4] "Guest Support" was provided by psychiatrist Dr Janet Taylor. [5]
The show's style was one of the reasons why Fox and Debmar-Mercury saw potential in adapting Kyle's show to the United States as a replacement for Oprah . By November 2010, the series was picked up in over 70% of American television markets, well ahead of its September 2011 debut. [6] Kyle also had competition among three other tabloid talkers, already established veterans (and all distributed by NBCUniversal Television Distribution), Jerry Springer , The Steve Wilkos Show and Maury . [1]
Like other tabloid talk shows, Jeremy Kyle aired primarily on affiliates of Fox, The CW and MyNetworkTV. Only a scattered number of ABC, CBS and NBC stations in smaller markets aired it, with only a few using it to fill their former Oprah timeslot.
On November 17, 2011, the show was renewed for a second season. [7]
The series was cancelled after two seasons on December 18, 2012, with the final episode airing in May 2013. In a joint-statement to Broadcasting and Cable, Debmar-Mercury co-presidents Mort Marcus and Ira Bernstein said, "We can confirm the U.S. version of The Jeremy Kyle Show won't be returning for a third season. This is in no way a reflection of the quality of the show. Backed by a first-rate production team, Jeremy was amazing and showed all of us why he is such a rock star in the UK. Simply put, Jeremy is one of the best hosts we have ever seen, and we expect to see more of him on U.S. television in the years ahead. Unfortunately, talk shows like this simply take time to build and, while we were seeing ratings progress in many markets, it wasn't enough to justify going forward with another season." [8]
Before its American debut, Broadcasting & Cable writer Ben Grossman noted in his article that his show could be a threat to Anderson Cooper's syndicated talk show, which debuted in the same season (and ran for two years just like Kyle's did), and yet another confrontational tabloid talk veteran, Jerry Springer, whom Kyle replaced back in the UK when Springer's version of his American talk show aired there.

Broadcast syndication is the practice of content owners leasing the right to broadcast television shows and radio programs to multiple television stations and radio stations, without going through a broadcast network. It is common in the United States where broadcast programming is scheduled by television networks with local independent affiliates. Syndication is less widespread in the rest of the world, as most countries have centralized networks or television stations without local affiliates. Shows can be syndicated internationally, although this is less common.

The subgenre originated in the United States and achieved peak viewership from the mid-1980s through the end of the 1990s. Airing mostly during the day and distributed mostly through television syndication, tabloid talk shows originated in the 1960s and early 1970s with series hosted by Joe Pyne, Les Crane, and Phil Donahue; the format was popularized by personal confession-filled The Oprah Winfrey Show, which debuted nationally in 1986. The format has since been emulated outside the United States, with the United Kingdom, Latin America and the Philippines all having popular shows that fit the format.
