Jerry welcomes the audience to the show's biggest anniversary celebration yet.

After introducing a few of the classic segments of the show like "I'm Sleeping With My Best Friend's Dad", we are treated to a montage of the best moments covering the craziest guests, heinous fights, and unexpected romances.

One of the standout moments of the episode is a segment called "Bizarro Jerry," in which Jerry himself sits in the audience and watches stand-ins portray him in some of the show's most memorable segments. We see comedian Chris Rock and UFC fighter Chuck Liddell both take a turn portraying Jerry, as they reenact some of the most famous and funny moments of the show. Watching the different stars embody Jerry, is a moment of pure fun and also a testament to the show's enduring legacy.

Throughout the episode, we witness some of the show's most celebrated guests, like the infamous "Transsexual vs. KKK” episode, which redefined the show's boundary-pushing format. However, even this moment pales in comparison to what the show has in store, with Jerry inviting some of the most memorable guests back. Among these guests, we have the unforgettable lady who traded her husband for a burrito and the iconic mother who wanted to be the first porn star to shoot a scene with her son.

To celebrate the show's 15th year, they've brought in an all-star band called the Jerry Springer Band, which is led by none other than Jerry himself! The group performs a song they wrote in honor of the show, and the audience is wild with excitement. The show then takes us on a trip down memory lane with a look back at their favorite musical performances. We reminisce about the inspiring performances, including when the 4-Ever band and a young Nick Cannon made appearances, and a particularly memorable performance by an exuberant woman named Tammy, who rapped about her love of soap operas.

As the show continues, Jerry dives deeper into behind-the-scenes moments, sharing their take on some of the wildest episodes they've done. Jerry also addresses the controversy that surrounds the show, which he says is fueled by those who want to point fingers. He reminds his audience that people come on the show of their own free will, and that it is not a reflection of all poor communities. Instead, the show is just a representation of a particular microcosm.

In the last 15 years, there have been more than a few intense fights on the Jerry Springer show. Because of this, it's no surprise that the show dedicates its final moments to the most epic moments possible. There's a look back at the most outrageous moments in the show's history, including an appearance by a man named Sam, who slept with his best friend's mom.
