The Jerry Springer Show
Perhaps one of the early reality shows presented as a talk show where guests often erupt into screaming fits over controversies. Most who have seen the show have at least questioned whether or not this much extreme fighting and ridiculously messed up lifestyles could actually be real. Skeptics will not be surprised to learn that much of the story lines revealed by guests, down to the guests themselves are carefully crafted to elicit the most reaction from the audience. The production team sometimes even prompts the crowd or agitates them to evoke an emotional response that is caught on camera.
