Televangelist Jimmy Swaggart, who became a household name amassing an enormous following and multimillion-dollar ministry only to be undone by his penchant for prostitutes, has died. Swaggart died decades after his once vast audience dwindled and his name became a punchline on late night television.

The televangelist's multimillion-dollar ministry was crippled in the late 1980s after his encounters with prostitutes became public.
