Your Favorite Reality Shows That Are Totally Fake

The Jerry Springer Show

Who doesn’t know the famous chant “Jer-ry, Jer-ry”? The Jerry Springer Show was very controversial, focusing on real family problems, many of which were exposed through paternity tests. While real people would go to the producers with stories, many of the stories taken on weren’t exactly real.

Some participants admitted they were actors while others told producers before they would start a fist-fight to get more ratings. Producers would encourage guests to fight and would coach them on when to do it. Jerry always had to be out the way when a fight started.
