00:00Terry knows that the story that he and Michelle are about to tell may sound cool.
00:06It may make them the most unpopular people on the show today.
00:10Welcome to Ms. Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the most memorable times
00:14when the show actually did unite families, albeit in its own special way.
00:19You want a father?
00:24Number 10.
00:26Too young to be a father.
00:27Why did you all split up when she told you she was pregnant?
00:30We didn't.
00:32How did you leave?
00:34Cuz I had to go live with my mama.
00:35My parents wanted me home.
00:36I had to go to school.
00:37She wasn't putting me in school.
00:39Teen parents kept The Maury Show in business for over 30 years.
00:43Young mother Skylin knows Tyler is the father of her child, but the story from Tyler and
00:47his mother is that she's money hungry and manipulative.
00:50He told me he had doubts.
00:55And he told me about her saying that she might have- that she was afraid of him being in
01:01the
01:01delivery room because he might come out mixed.
01:03And she's a liar.
01:04He's old enough to have sex with me, then he's old enough to raise a baby.
01:07Their screaming match can't change the facts.
01:10Tyler is the father.
01:11He reacts about as well as you'd expect.
01:14Even after the DNA test, he's still screaming about it backstage and denying it despite the
01:18indisputable evidence.
01:20Maury has to talk sense into the guy, who suddenly looks like a little boy who's gotten
01:24himself into some grown up trouble.
01:25You're young.
01:26Alright?
01:27Unfortunately, you have baggage that you didn't want.
01:31It's called a baby.
01:33This is a real, live, breathing thing.
01:36You are a father at 16.
01:39You're gonna have to grow up fast, son.
01:41Number 9.
01:42Don't try to run.
01:43I'll trip you.
01:44Ronyell has some doubts.
01:45He calls his ex Kendra Lynn's history into question when she insists that her children
01:49are his.
01:50When I first met her, she had a boyfriend.
01:53She was already dealing with someone else.
01:55When she was pregnant with that baby right there.
02:00That baby has a name!
02:02Say my baby name!
02:03She was seeing a guy before her pregnancy, during her pregnancy, and after her pregnancy.
02:08You're a liar!
02:09They've clearly seen this program before.
02:11When Maury pulls out the manila folder, Ron Yell puts his foot out to stop Kendra Lynn's
02:15from running, like so many women before her have.
02:18This one is a split result.
02:19One of the children does turn out to be his.
02:22What you gotta say?
02:23What you gotta say?
02:25What you gotta say?
02:25Now, in the case of one-year-old Kael, Ron Yell, you are not the boss.
02:33Despite their obvious conflict on stage, once they're backstage together, Ron Yell comforts
02:38Kendra Lynn and promises he'll still help her out with the child that's not his.
02:43I'll still help you out with it, you know?
02:45I'm the only father he ever did.
02:47It's a relatively happy ending.
02:49Number 8.
02:50I NEED to see some money.
02:51Why doesn't this woman like you?
02:53I have no idea, Maury.
02:56I really do not.
02:56I have no idea.
02:58Come on, let's talk.
02:58We grown.
02:59I've been there since day one, Maury.
03:01Day one.
03:02I was there at the hospital.
03:03I took days out of school.
03:05I called my school and told them I had to be there for my son.
03:08Don't sit up here and try to act like you're something that's too now.
03:10In-laws are complicated.
03:12Keisha doesn't believe Ben is the father of her grandson.
03:15She's dragged him and her own daughter Kiki to the show to make an example of her and get
03:19some child support.
03:20So this is a teaching moment for all teenagers.
03:22They need a teaching moment because they do too much, keep your legs closed, dresses down,
03:26because I was in the old school.
03:29Do what your mama tell you to do, and you won't be in the situation.
03:32In fact, once they do find out she was wrong and that Ben is the father, she's still not satisfied.
03:38She berates her daughter and her morals before demanding child support from Ben,
03:42without an apology or even a shred of humility.
03:44Maury's dealt with a lot over the years, but even he seems tired of this relentless
03:48grandma by the end of their segment.
03:50I need to see some money, some child support, pampers, pampers.
03:55You have to demand a chance.
03:56Number seven, meet me halfway.
03:58All three of these young adults share the same story.
04:03They claim Darren abandoned them at an early age,
04:07and when they individually reconnected with him, he denied all three.
04:13Maury must have been running a sale or something,
04:15because Darren came to this show ready to clean them out.
04:17He's been busy over the years. With an alleged 20 kids to his name,
04:22he comes face to face with three potential offspring in one episode.
04:26Is it?
04:26Is it possible?
04:27You tell me.
04:28It may be, Maury, but hey, in my times when I was growing up and a young age,
04:32I did a lot of stuff. I can't say who was who, but I'm going to say this today,
04:37they're going to have to prove it today on Maury's show.
04:40His determined refusal to acknowledge them is almost cruel, as he essentially insults them,
04:44despite the fact that they all look a lot like him. Darren turns completely around when,
04:49one by one, all three are proven to be his kids. He shows them so much love that it's basically
04:54emotional whiplash.
04:56Guess what? You know the best thing about this right now is? This scene right here. Freeze it,
05:05look at it, and make sure you're all family, okay?
05:08What?
05:08Number six, lead poisoning.
05:10Here's the history between you and Frangestin.
05:13You didn't sleep with each other until you knew him for a year.
05:17Right, and that's the only man I've been intimate with at the time.
05:20Frangestin hand-delivered his and Lakeitra's child.
05:23Immediately, he demanded a paternity test.
05:26He doesn't believe it's his child because he apparently can't even have one.
05:29When I was young, I had, you know, experience of lead poisoning.
05:32Right.
05:32Then I ain't got none to do with no woman getting pregnant.
05:41Accusations of cheating led the two to break up,
05:43but all appears to be well once the results come through.
05:46Frangestin Jr. was named for his real father.
05:49Even as Lakeitra screams in his face that she told him the truth,
05:52he's so overcome with relief that it doesn't matter.
06:02Go back to being a family.
06:05Number five, the math isn't mathing.
06:07You know that's not my baby.
06:09Why isn't that your baby?
06:10Look at that baby, Maury.
06:11Look at that baby.
06:13That baby look like it.
06:16Stan's biggest piece of evidence is that the baby was born four days early,
06:19meaning he thinks that gestation always takes exactly nine months to the day.
06:24Jalissa comes armed with Stan's own sister to talk sense into him.
06:37Fed up and frustrated, Jalissa doesn't just want Stan to step up.
06:41If he's proved to be the father, she wants a commitment.
06:45So what you're saying is you're basically giving him an ultimatum.
06:49Either ring or lose.
06:52Apparently, he knew that already because as soon as the DNA results reveal that he is indeed the father,
06:57he drops a stack of cash on the floor, kneels on it, and produces an engagement ring.
07:03It's certainly not your traditional proposal story, but it's definitely a memorable one.
07:08Number four, Chad is the father.
07:10I've seen so, so many families get torn apart, and I don't want it to happen to me at all.
07:14I love Peyton and Tegna so, so much, and I don't know what I'll do if they're not mine.
07:18Though this wasn't the only time this had happened,
07:20Chad and Veena are an especially emotional and heartbreaking case of parents of twins hoping for some good news.
07:26The results were quite literally mixed.
07:28Do you know that with fraternal twins, you could be the father of one, but not the other?
07:33Yes.
07:33Yes, I've done a lot of reading.
07:35I've done a lot of reading and a lot of looking.
07:37But you want to be the father of both?
07:39Yes, I do.
07:39Chad came to the show to find out if their newborn twins are really his.
07:43He and Veena, who's admitted her infidelity, are both in full-on sobs almost the entire time.
07:49Their experience is a roller coaster.
07:51The first DNA test confirms that one of the twins is his, and you can see the absolute relief they
07:55both feel.
07:56However, it's all dashed when the second child turns out not to be his.
08:00Watching the two reckon with the truth is absolutely wild.
08:03You love that little person.
08:06Yes, I do.
08:07You love her, right?
08:08Yes.
08:08You do?
08:09Yes, I do.
08:10Oh my God.
08:10Oh my God.
08:11He has a brother, right?
08:13Yes.
08:14And you're the father of that brother.
08:15Yes.
08:16And you could be the father to that little girl.
08:18Oh my God.
08:18Huh?
08:19Yes.
08:20Number three, too old to be a dad.
08:22She's 21 and he's 63.
08:25Can we make it any more obvious?
08:30It's always two sides to a story out.
08:33First of all, Tisha, he's over 40 years older than you.
08:37What are you doing with him?
08:39Apparently, Cliff did need some clarity, because when faced with the allegation that Tisha gave birth to
08:44his child, his reasoning is more mathematical than scientific.
08:47He's a pretty prolific guy, if you catch our drift, and he has never been a father.
08:51I haven't had a kid in 27 years, too.
08:54I had sex over 50,000 times, and no one ever got pregnant.
08:59Probability finally caught up to him here.
09:01He may be 63, but he's not finished yet.
09:04The results reveal that he is the father, and he won't just be stepping up to the responsibility
09:08of fatherhood.
09:09He's going to be a husband, too.
09:11You are the father.
09:12Can I get that paper?
09:13I tell one.
09:18Number two, long lost son.
09:20My heart breaks because my husband grew up without a dad.
09:24Terry was accepting of Mike when they first met.
09:27But now, Michelle is brainwashing him into thinking he is not Mike's father.
09:33Michelle also got his son TJ believing it now.
09:36Talk about a blended family.
09:37To say that Terry and Michelle are skeptical that Mike is Terry's son is putting it mildly.
09:42They practically rake Mike over the coals during their appearance.
09:44Especially Michelle, who is not at all prepared to accept Mike or his wife.
09:48I turned and looked at Terry, and he shook his head and gave me permission to go off on
09:52you, which is what I did.
09:54I never said that to you in your house.
09:56Yes, you did.
09:57You never said, no I didn't.
09:58Yes, because that's that good.
09:59No, I didn't.
10:01Really?
10:01Then why do you call Terry and say, is Michelle awake?
10:03That's the reason why you two are not welcome in my house is because of what you said.
10:06There's a lot of pain on display in this one.
10:08The tangled web of family and uncertainty is certainly hurting everyone involved.
10:12The DNA test confirms Terry's paternity.
10:15The hugs between Mike, his father, and his now confirmed half-brother are clearly a healing
10:19experience.
10:20After all that's been said, we have to wonder how Michelle's going to take being a stepmom.
10:25Michelle?
10:25Yes.
10:26Do you have anything to say?
10:27No, I'm not a mom.
10:29I'm sorry, baby.
10:30Number one.
10:31One out of two ain't bad.
10:33Twins being conceived by two different fathers is just the kind of thing we forget can happen.
10:38Luckily, Maury is here to remind us of the wonders of biology.
10:40Eric denies that Regina's twins are his.
10:43What's that?
10:44Come on, man.
10:45Nothing.
10:45Come on.
10:45Nothing, huh?
10:46Nothing.
10:47Nothing.
10:47They don't.
10:48Eric, they look just like you.
10:50I'm a cartwheel in a minute, though.
10:52You're going to cartwheel?
10:52I'm a cartwheel in a minute.
10:54Are you trying to tell me?
10:55I'm going to cartwheel in a minute.
10:56Unfortunately, he's half right.
10:58In the case of two-year-old Nikolai, Eric, you are not the father.
11:05When it comes to one of the sons, Eric is not the father.
11:08However, the other child is his biological offspring.
11:11He takes it with a positive attitude, even doing another one of the cartwheels he mentioned.
11:15One out of two ain't bad.
11:18One out of two ain't bad.
11:20I have never had that on my show.
11:22What's your favorite you are the father moment?
11:24Let us know below.
