This week, I join Jerry Springer who is exploring the question on everyone's mind - what happens when regular every day people and/or paid volunteers find themselves in that age-old dilemma of having TOO MANY LOVERS? Join me this week as I dissect a mountain of overlapping chatter filled with hilarious insults, ridiculous excuses, and way too many irrelevant details. Special guest appearances incl...

In honor of Black History Month, this week I took the way-back-time-machine to a space where 4-5 out of 100 people thought it was A-OK to be publicly racist on a national platform.

Special guests include Carl Winsloe, Uncle Rico and black female Napol...

Enjoy the best nifty-gifty of all - an early/bonus episode of Reality Roots! On this edge-of-glory episode of Jerry Springer, we have a group of teens/20 somethings acting their age, we learn about something called Apple Pucker and it's effect on people's willingness to jump into bed with each other, and then one thing leads to another, and it just happens. Just as it always seems to! Special gues...

Montel's final week of production could never be complete without one last episode centered around prolific writer and self-proclaimed psychic Sylvia Brown.

Special guests inclu...
