Unforgettable Moments of The Maury Show

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Illinois State chapter.

Have you ever been bored flipping through channels on your T.V when suddenly you see adults fighting and pulling each other’s wigs off while the crowd yells “Ooohhh?” That’s entertainment for you – that’s The Maury Show. If you ever choose to take a break from the real world and need a good laugh, tune in to these unforgettable moments on The Maury Show.

1. “You Are NOT the Father”

 Many people watch The Maury Show because they want to see the shocking results at the end. Have you ever noticed before Maury can get his words out to say “You are not the father,” the women either fall to the floor or run to the back of the stage as if they’re in a race? I find it hilarious how the women are so sure their man is the father of their child after testing 10 different men. The men’s reactions are priceless.

2. Lie Detector Results 

People on the show will lie and say, “I didn’t do it” under any circumstances. They try convincing their partners and themselves that they are telling the truth even when the lie detector test shows they are lying. You’ll hear the pathetic rebuttal, “That’s a lie!” Hopefully you’ll never be in this messy of a situation where the entire world knows all of your business.

3. Dramatic Transformation

One of the guests on the show was a woman name Martina. She was born a white woman and aspired to look like Pamela Anderson. She then went to get cosmetic surgery to dramatically enlarge her breasts. She was not yet satisfied with her look so she decided to get chemical injections and body modification and now considers herself a black woman. My main concern is, “Does she ever have chest pain?”

4. Cheating

 

Can you imagine finding out your boyfriend cheated on you? You’d probably understand why he keeps his phone away from you. On a more twisted note, how would you react if he cheated on you with your mother? I’m sure you wouldn’t want to know any details…but that’s a typical day on The Maury Show.

The Maury Show never gets old… there’s always some baby daddy issues the world is dying to know. I’ll admit sometimes I’ll binge watch the show by myself with no problem. My mom thinks watching the show has a bad influence on my life but I’m just glad I can’t relate to any of the issues.

Illinois State

I am a senior studying Journalism at Illinois State University and I hope to become a reporter for a big news company one day. I was a features reporter in the fall of 2016 where I wrote articles including profiles and events on campus. This semester I am a news reporter for The Vidette and I write articles for both the campus and the Bloomington-Normal Community. I am passionate about writing because I can express myself non-verbally which I think is a beautiful type of art.
