Ringmaster (film)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ringmaster (1998) is an American comedy film starring Jerry Springer playing (essentially) himself (only with the last name of Farrelly) on a show similar to his own, in this case called simply Jerry. There are three ongoing plots in the film. The primary one surrounds a white trash, trailer park family in which the daughter is sleeping with her mother's husband, prompting the mother to constantly try to outdo her promiscuous daughter's behavior out of spite, including sleeping with her daughter's boyfriend. The secondary plot revolves around an urban black woman whose boyfriend is sleeping with her two best friends, but the three are united against the boyfriend when he begins sleeping with the daughter of the above mentioned family. The third plot revolves around Jerry and the show itself, detailing the difficulty Jerry faces in trying to come to terms with his rather dubious claim to fame, and the staff's utter amazement at the bizarre stories they must deal with.
A minor sub-plot involves a phone operator on the show who mistakenly picks up one of the guests, a self-proclaimed "man-by-day-woman-by-night."
