This One Takes a Turn
This one starts out sweet and then turns salty. Fidelity is a hard concept for so many people who appear on this wild talk show.
A Walk Down Memory Lane
When your baby’s daddy cheats with your best friend, things turn ugly. This woman looks so proud of herself.
Who Remembers ‘Jerry Beads?’
Well, we had forgotten about the whole Jerry beads thing but here it is. The mother and daughter pair showing off their chest really takes the cake.
Not So Sisterly Love
Is the tell of a good TJSS episode when wigs start flying off? Perhaps. These sisters really do not get along and that revenge probably is not tasting so sweet right now.
When the Stripper Heels Start Flying…
Fellow strippers who do not get along really do put up a serious fight in this clip. We’d like to see more love in the club.
Is He Grown Though?
This fight was not only physical it was very verbal as most portions of it are a prolonged bleep. Is this the most bleeped TJSS moment? Could be!
“What Would You Find In His Shoes?”
This clip is remarkable for a couple of reasons but a woman who suspects that her boyfriend is cheating has been checking his shoes. You’ll never guess why.
The Hair Flips
We love this Jerry Springer moment because when Micah steps onto the stage, she immediately does some impressive hair flips. The man the two women are fighting over is not getting much love either.
He Wants Her to Do What With Her Sister!?
Well, this is just beyond the pale. What is this guy thinking? Only the best come on “The Jerry Springer Show.”
The Proposal That Went Spectacularly Wrong
We were excited for a bit of genuine romance but then, as Springer’s guest are prone, the beans get spilled. Yikes!
Stirring That Pot
Well, the two dudes fighting over this woman were not helped by the comments she made off to the side. So much drama!
Coming Out Swinging
It’s never a good sign when one of the guests enters the stage running. This turned into a real brawl in a matter of seconds.
Does He Know Where He Is?
It takes a moment to get there but this is some next level shade. Even Springer had to walk off set after this one.

A woman wants to come clean about her cheating but things quickly go in a different direction. This is bananas!
She Comes Out of Nowhere
This fight happens out of nowhere and it gets so violent that producers of the show, in addition to the guards have to step in to break it up. Ouch!
David, Meet Goliath
This fight follows the admission by his significant other that she has been cheating because their sex life has not been fruitful. Then, the man she’s been having an affair with steps out and he’s not what anyone in the audience expected.
When the White Supremacists Appeared
Say what you will about Jerry Springer. But nobody else would invite KKK members onstage so guests could punch them in the face. Respect. pic.twitter.com/2HEy9NIx4q
