The show included almost 4000 episodes and every one of his episodes was considered to be explosive. The former Mayor of Cincinnati has many controversies under his name. The paternity test, the bleeped-out swearing, and the security guards always ready to break up a fight, among others.

5 Most Outrageous Moments By Jerry Springer
The first on the list is the 2011 clip that has everything. One family member reveals a “secret” to another, a cheating boyfriend, and, also, a stripper sister. In this episode, a woman who has a history of sleeping with her sister’s exes comes on stage to reveal to her sister that she slept with her boyfriend. We all know how this ends, yes, there is a lot of slapping and hair-pulling that happens after the revelation.
The next moment involves confronting a racist. Being the son of Jewish-German refugees who fled the Nazis, Jerry Springer was personally involved in this moment. In 1995, Springer told an antisemitic priest, “I don’t hate you, I feel sorry for you.” When the priest went into a Holocaust-denial rant, the host told him to “shut your face”, which almost led to fists getting involved.

The third involved an adult movie actress, Annabel Chong, as a guest on the show. She claimed that she slept with 251 men in just 10 hours. Springer went ahead and asked her, “Are you ever going to be able to love a man?” to which she confidently replied, “Why Not?”.
The fourth moment swings way off the line of craziness. In this episode, a Missouri farmer married his horse named Pixie and he revealed, “As far as s*x goes, we make love. We don’t fool around on each other.” Springer was unaware of the farmer’s revelation on the show, which is why he seemed physically ill on-air.
