Daytime TV’s Most Scandalous Talk Show

The Maury Show is awesome because it basically did whatever it wanted to, and I think that's epic. I failed to remember just how much drama there is, though, so let's sit down together today, and relive a memory from a time that exists (i think).

[@markiej211]

I was a audience member back in November 2013. The reason why the audience reacts so wild and loudly is because they have a producer off to the side that tells you when to clap, boo, etc and who you should be cheering and booing for. It’s all staged. They also film 2 episodes back to back which air separately.

[@richardtherichard26]

Having a producer there to tell you who to like doesn’t make it staged. They used to put out casting calls for anyone going through family drama during the commercial breaks. Stuff like “do you suspect your spouse of cheating but can’t prove it? Call the Maury show to have a lie detector test and find out the truth” Granted by the time 2013 came I was well past watching this or springer (which was definitely entirely staged) but with all the relationship drama I see on Facebook or Twitter from people I actually know? I wouldn’t doubt if at least part of this was actually true, though obviously dramatized.

Jeremy Kyle show the in the UK is a daytime tv show im so happy to say got cancelled. Lie tests are known to be incredibly inaccurate but they spoke about it as if it was fact... it caused a guy to commit suicide which then led to the cancellation of the show. That show undoubtedly ruined lives with inaccurate accusations

[@analisesalas538]

I remember when that happened, that poor man and his family were treated like animals on that show. Like DNA is hard to fake but the lie detector test has been debunked for years!

[@ltamha]

I did a video about that situation and got a lot of comments defending Jeremy Kyle which is messed up :/. A poor guy died because of a lie detector result that you can't even trust 60% of the time at best. Very sad.

[@SallyBerry9]

Turns out it’s most likely not even the first death caused by the Jeremy Kyle Show. What makes it worse (if it can be worse) Jeremy Kyle’s dad was the accountant/personal secretary for the Queen Mother and went to private school. He’s a pampered ponce punching down at working class people who’ve had nowhere near the opportunities he’s had.

I just saw an interview with Maury where he said NFL players would tell him they would hold up starting practices so they could see how a paternity test or lie detector turned out. When your show has the power to bring the freaking NFL to a halt, you got influence.

[@tortillachipz8658]

Bring Out The Olives!🫒🫒🫒 Edit: Seriously if that whole episode wasn’t staged then it was seriously cruel and damaging. When I saw it again as an adult , I was horrified and felt bad for laughing as a kid.

[@theflickchick9850]

We once watched an extremely triggering episode where Maury tortured a mentally ill woman with her fear of mustard in PSYCHOLOGY CLASS in order to learn about generalized anxiety disorders. And the class and teacher were LAUGHING. I had GAD and was forced to just sit there while my entire class laughed and mocked people like me. I had an anxiety breakdown afterwards. As such, I have had a deep intense hatred for Maury since.

[@desireemacdonald1813]

@@theflickchick9850 I’m so sorry to hear that. I developed PTSD from SA in my younger years. Some bad anxiety and phobias came with that. That’s why I felt bad for thinking it was funny the first time when I was a kid. It just feels really wrong looking back. Thinking of how the audience reacted, too is sickening. Did nobody realize how cruel that was? I can forgive myself for being a kid and not understanding but the audience, production crew, etc…what was their excuse? Just to get money from shock value? SMH. I really hope it was just reality tv BS and not real but thinking back, the look on some of their faces was either superb acting or it was real.

[@Baubletop]

I went to a taping of Maury once. You sign up for a day online, then everyone takes a shuttle bus from NYC to Stamford. Maury, Jerry Springer, and Steve Wilkos were all in the same building. Doesn't cost anything. There's a hype person in the audience to help guide reactions but for the big moments in the episode people are basically just reacting naturally. The audience really does go nuts on their own lol

[@Ben-kv7wr]

I went to a Jerry Springer show filming (films in the same studio in Stamford, CT) and the audience gets cues from producers, cheering/applause, boo, and aww. We were encouraged to have really over the top facial expressions and reactions. Guy rounding the ppl up was probably a producer, and there was for sure fake stuff but not every “story” makes it to every episode some isn’t interesting enough to make it to TV!

[@jimbear62]

[@allycat0136]

A family from near where I lived was on Maury once. They were incredibly poor, and the producers basically picked them up in a van, drove them up to the filming location, recorded the show and didn’t bring them back. Apparently it took them months to get back home because they had to keep saving money for buses and taxis. And by the time they got home, they were obviously outcasted because the episode had aired.

[@eveg.j.9197]

[@Mon67ica]

This stuff makes me so sad. I remember when Maury first started his talk show. He tackled issues that actually mattered. There were 2 segments filled with interviews that were not faked.

[@MusiciansRule07]

Maury would come on just in time for me to come home from school to watch with my Mom or for it to be on in the background like LoFi. The audience is legendary and Maury as a host is Jerry Springer but actually funny. Paternity and lie detector tests, the extreme phobia episodes, the troubled teen episodes, the extreme makeovers, and who can forget the times that the audience in studio and at home got to become Transvestigators for a day? Also, the marathon runner cameraman put in the most work of them all. Honestly, the show has aged like milk in the sun but it's earned it's place in pop culture forever. It's literally a meme factory that brings people of every generation together. Case in point: the collab with Lil Nas X.

[@Nicole-zh7pl]

Maury wasn't always about paternity testing. Jerry Springer also started out as a respectable program and most talk shows were actually talk shows where there were people with different lives, points of views, stories to tell and they all, for the most part, talked it out to find a common ground but then someone threw a punch or tried to find the father and all talk show hosts in the 90s started sticking with what drew in the viewers and we all got trash-hungry.

I had a family member appear on the Jerry Springer show. According to him the confrontations on these shows are semi scripted. Theyre given certain subjects to touch on, when to initiate arguments and try to get fan reactions. For the most part majority of the stories are real though with a few outliers where the people are just randoms who were introduced and given a fake story to run with.

[@wishbone-p4550]

so weird how the only testing they do for figuring out the father is a polygraph, which isnt even admissible in court??

Uh they definitely did DNA tests too, there were always ads for the DNA and paternity testing company they used. The lie detector test part was just for show.
