I agree. Then, there’s the baby-daddy-reveal-party on “Maury”.
And (in the very very rare moment) when I watch, there’s the occasional gals who have had 7-8-10 guys tested and NONE are a DNA match.
Some of those guest MAY even be real. But a lot of pranksters are willing to claim such transgressions to get a free hotel and plane ticket to New York (or wherever the shows tape these days).

Jerry Springer Guests- real or fake

>>In 1998, there were 16 people who claimed that they had been on Springer as fake guests. There were, around the same time, numerous reports that the fights were fake. You can find most of those stories by Googling.
>>>(2003)My friend was on the Richard Bey show a while ago (remember him?) They supplied a limo to the show and a hotel room, the contract said that if their appearance and presentation were above average in any entertaining fashion, they would be compsensated if thier appearance was selected for either promotional footage, special events, ect. A girl I knew from HS was interning in Chicago for the Jerry Springer Show back in the day before he started having beads for the girls who take their tops off. She said that they would pay for anything “out of the ordinary and entertaining” if it would arise. Also the same thing with royalties if there is some “Jerry’s most Outrageous Moments” video. They even had a contract listing the show will not liable for any damages recieved for being a guest, you also have to have health insurance, too! I’m sure some guests decide to go on and stage fights and situations...yesterday, he had Brother and Sister love cirlces. I’m sure they were laughing all the way to the bank.
