Jerry Springer/Awesome

• Crowning Moment of Awesome: Believe it or not, even Jerry and the audience got one during the Neo-Nazi episode, where the audience, usually the loudest part of the show, shut up, and Jerry, always composed during his guests' most oddball moments, interrupted them, told them to shut up, and told August Kreis he'd like to 'beat the crap out of him'.
• Steve Wilkos just oozes CMOAs in his own show.
  • The whole first part of the episode Steve Meets Mighty Joe. You can tell he's just having the time of his life while mercilessly humiliating this little punk for 15 minutes straight.
  • How about when Steve was so caught up in his own fury that he threw a chair so hard its legs were impaled on the wall?
• One time there was a dispute between a prostitute and her pimp. At one point the pimp moves in to hit her and the security guards immediately crowd around him. Jerry, visibly angered, tells him that if the guy hits her he is going to jail. The guy backs off but says that when they get home he'll beat her. One of the guards grabs him by the shirt collar, lifts him up off his feet and slams him against a wall, telling him that he will not threaten her. The audience goes nuts and gives him a standing ovation (well, cheer). Its awesome.
