HOMAGE TO MAURY POVICH
First he was a news anchor, then the host of “A Current Affair,” and now he has his own talk show that has been satirized in comic strips, rap songs, and South Park.
The Maury Povich show for those of you who have not heard of it (get out of your cave,) is mainly about helping people help themselves. Also, it is about seeing a bunch of sad pathetic losers trying to sneak out of paying child support to their children. Which leads me to one of my favorite show subjects….Are you the father? This wonderful premise usually starts with some poor unattractive women who never lost the baby weight trying to pin child support on one of several men that could possibly be her “babby’s daddy.” Sometimes it’s just one guy, sometimes it’s three. I once saw a woman go on who had already tested five men to be the father of her daughter. FIVE MEN!!
Now I know what you’re going to say; “Tom, why do you watch this trashy show??” I’ll tell you why, other then the reason that it makes me feel better about my own life.
When you see these guys come on, who are usually either rednecks, or minorities, they come out to the stage with some TJ-Maxx polo shirt tucked into some black denim jeans and think they are dressed up. They are automatically boo’d at because their is some disgrace of a woman on stage who has been crying for about 10 minutes straight saying how she had to raise her bastard son all by herself.
So there are two different scenarios that can now play out. You are the father, or You are not the father.
You are the father - The woman goes crazy. She gets up all in the guys face and starts pointing her finger in her empty hand. The man, disgusted, looks away if possible. Some of these girls are way to big to even look away. They can be both in front and behind you. I kind of feel sorry for him. No more clubbin son!
You are not the father - The best thing that can be said on television. The woman falls to her knees crying while the man jumps out of his seat as if its on fire and starts crazy dancing to the lil’ wayne rap song in his head. For those of you with no dance moves, watch one of these dudes bust out, because these dances are of pure elation.
There are several other topics of the show such as “wild videos,” and “my teenage daughter is out of control,” but the pregnancy shows are by far the best.
Now some people think that the people on this show are actors. My answer to that is WHO GIVES A SHIT! Besides, Maury Povich is married to fucking Connie Chung, do you think she would let him get away with such dishonest reporting??
