I believe it. Maury, much like The People's Court, hires background people to play the part of friends/supporting witnesses/whatever. You don't even actually have to be the subject of the episode, you can just apply to play the "friend"/"witness"/etc. There's a Youtube channel of some guy who posted about his experiences playing a "witness" for like... 6? different people, on People's Court.

You can basically get everything of import from the show by watching the clip where some dude is declared to NOT be the father and then begins dancing on stage while Guile's Theme is played over the show.

Considering how notoriously unreliable lie detector tests are, I wonder how many men who were actually not cheaters ended up getting their lives ruined due to the lie detector tests?

I forget the comedian, however he was talking about how Maury was the best because he made it a point to always get the names of black guests correct. He jokes about how that guy could have numbers in his name and Maury would still get it right.

I didn't watch the show well-enough to know how accurate that is, it's just the only thing I can share.

I should specify, she was the subject for a segment. She brought a dude on for a paternity test (yes, it was his, no, there was no chance it was mine).

How is Wilkos worse than Maury?
Wilkos with Richard Dominick producing was pretty bad. Richard was a good fit for the traditional trash TV zeitgeist Springer became but was poorly equipped to handle the serious nature of Wilkos' show. He made Steve do little more than yell and scream at accused guests in a Nancy Grace like way. Once Steve's wife took his place the show let Steve be more natural instead of just screaming at his guests like a misguided drill instructor who throws chairs at the drop of a hat.

Dominick's production of Steve made for good memes but shitty hour long tabloid tv.

The worst episodes were the dramatic makeovers. Soignoring the fact that nine times out of ten a perfectly cute and normal looking person would have the sexy reveal as a blob of plastic and silicone

theres no happy ending.

each episode starts out with some 40-year old asshole complaining about ugly this person from grade school was. Soyoure a 40-year old man who still feels the need to mock someone you havent seen in decades? Okay.

then they do the frantic reveal and suddenly the 40-year old asshole is like omg youre so hot now lets go on a date. This man is still a shallow piece of garbage. He is still a terrible human being.

but the audience claps and theres happy music and Maury is smiling as he calls for a the next commercial break. No Maury. This is not a happy ending. This is a bad breakup waiting to happen because its a relationship built entirely around artificial Bull shit.

To be fair, $250 for what amounted to an hour, at most, of "work" was fairly decent, which is why there was no shortage to pick from. You were also less likely to be recognized for being on the show, back then, since social media wasn't as big, so segments didn't get immortalized as much.

There's a comedian that when he was younger, him and his friends took turns suing eachother on Peoples Court. He was on like a dozen times as either a plaintiff or defendant. He's got tiktoks where it's just like a bunch of clips smashed together of all if his bizarre characters he's playing

I think Maury was filmed somewhere in the NE and not NY. Vermont maybe. When I played FF 11 we had a player in the LS who loved maury. He would host watch parties and take bets on father or not the father. It's one of those memories I still think fondly of the time I played. If that dude sees this. Thanks for the laughs. He was a real funny dude
