00:04Welcome to Ms. Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the classic
00:09You are NOT the father moments from Maury.
00:12You are NOT the father.
00:18Number 10. Jeremy back flips out of fatherhood.
00:21It's a tale as old as time. Two people meet and nine months later there's a new baby.
00:25Michelle is certain that her former co-worker Jeremy is the father of her infant.
00:29Jeremy is obviously not buying her story.
00:32Michelle says Jeremy has done nothing but use her and has even charged her money to babysit the baby.
00:40He's in the child's life, but he charges her babysitting fees.
00:44When the DNA results prove he's not the father, Jeremy does a backflip that looks like it could split his
00:50nice pants.
00:51Jeremy, you are NOT the father.
00:56Yeah!
01:00Clearly, he's feeling vindicated. It's actually a surprisingly clean flip, too.
01:05There's no update on whether or not he'll keep babysitting. We're guessing it's a no.
01:10Do you have anything to say to him?
01:11No.
01:12No? Nothing?
01:13No.
01:15Jeremy?
01:16I told you.
01:18Not yours?
01:19Not mine. Told you.
01:19No.
01:20Number 9. Mom lies to daughter for 25 years.
01:24Jasmine is 25 years old, and she's not so sure if Vincent is her biological father.
01:29Jasmine's mother, Tanya, is outraged.
01:31I'm sorry! I just can't do it!
01:33All I want to do is...
01:34Well, let me ask you this, Tanya. You don't want to sit next to him. You must have done something
01:39with him 25 years ago.
01:40This one is full of drama. Some Mori segments are just straight up salacious, but this one is unexpectedly emotional.
01:48Jasmine and Vincent clearly want it to be true. The result is not a happy one.
01:53In the case of 25-year-old Jasmine, Vincent, you are not.
02:00Tanya is elated while her daughter is devastated. She almost reverts to a child again as her mother and the
02:06man she thought was her father try their best to comfort her.
02:09It's really not funny at all. Rather, it's kind of sad.
02:13Tanya, I want to ask you one question, alright? Why didn't you ever get her father in her life?
02:19Uh, Mori, he just left, Mori.
02:22Number eight, colorblind.
02:24There are all sorts of reasons a potential Mori guest might deny his children. Maybe the timing is off.
02:30Perhaps they're just in denial, and there's the simple reason that they just don't want to be a father.
02:35First off, you got to be crazy if you want to come with her, even think that those are my
02:40brother's kids!
02:41Those are not my brother's kids, period! You know it!
02:44Are those your nieces?
02:45No.
02:46Marco has a pretty legitimate reason.
02:47The audience sees immediately that Lepiphany and Marco's supposed twins are notably lighter skin than either of their parents.
02:55Marco accuses the audience of being colorblind.
02:58What's all this? Y'all don't know nothing, man! Y'all don't know nothing about nothing, man! Y'all colorblind!
03:04Hold on!
03:05He's stupid!
03:06I'm black, she black!
03:07When Mori reveals that the twins are not his, Lepiphany runs off stage, and Marco decides to do a celebratory
03:13dance.
03:14Compared to other, you are not the father dances, it's one of the more dignified examples.
03:19Now, you all have kids together, alright? And he can be a good parent, but he is not the biological
03:25father of these kids.
03:27Don't be too hard on her.
03:28Number seven, no apologies.
03:30Amanda and Colin are fighting before he even comes on stage.
03:34In the aftermath of their nasty breakup, she met several men who could be the father of her daughter.
03:39Yet, she's sure that Colin is the girl's father.
03:41Amanda slept with not one, not two, five guys!
03:44Five! Five! Five! Five!
03:48But it backfired because then Amanda discovered she was pregnant with her now two-year-old daughter, AJ.
03:55The taunting little dance she does before the results are read is premature.
03:59Colin is not the guy.
04:00He starts flipping across the stage while Amanda flings herself to the ground and starts pounding her fists like a
04:05toddler having a tantrum.
04:07You are not the guy!
04:16Maury's suggestion that she apologize to him just kicks off another round of dramatics backstage.
04:21After you just sat up and accused me-
04:23Go! Go somewhere! Go somewhere! Go back to your parents' house!
04:26It's cool and you go back to your house-
04:27You was useless anyway!
04:28And you go back to your house with no job in her!
04:31Number six, Gary's dance.
04:33Lavoria spends most of her segment with Gary trying to shout over him.
04:37That's all him!
04:40That's not my son!
04:42It's a ready-to-time birthmark!
04:44What does that mean?
04:45It means a lot!
04:46What does that mean?
04:46It chases back four generations!
04:48She can't shout over the DNA results, though.
04:50They just confirm what Gary knows.
04:52He is not the father of Lavoria's baby.
04:55At this point, the you-are-not-the-father dance should have an Emmy category of its own.
04:59Like any great art form, creative geniuses have pushed it forward with new techniques and innovations on the form.
05:05You are not-
05:10I told you!
05:12I told you!
05:13I told you!
05:14I told you!
05:14Gary's dance is a seminal entry in this storied practice.
05:18He has such a sense of ease and control that only a man without an unexpected child can have.
05:24I'm not going nowhere.
05:25It's okay, come here.
05:27It's not right.
05:27We're gonna do it together.
05:29Remember?
05:30It's okay.
05:31Number 5.
05:32Grandmommy Dearest
05:33Alexis and Nate are a rarity.
05:36They both want Alexis' baby to be his, even though they're not together anymore.
05:40It's Alexis' mother, Melissa, who objects.
05:43She even dogs her daughter out for cheating on national TV.
05:46Nate is nothing but a lying, manipulative piece of garbage.
05:49I know for a fact you're not a racist father, Nate.
05:52Alexis, you know you cheated right and left.
05:54Nate's allegation that Melissa is just racist may be true,
05:58but unfortunately, it doesn't mean he's the father.
06:01The DNA results prove he's not.
06:03In the case of six-week-old Atreus, Nate, you are not!
06:08Yes!
06:10It's okay.
06:10It's okay.
06:12It's okay.
06:13It's not something.
06:14It's not something.
06:15Oh boy, you're a f***er.
06:18I'm gonna erase this baby!
06:20I'm gonna erase this baby!
06:21Thank you, my baby!
06:23I can't do that!
06:26I can't do that!
06:37The biggest problem for herself is the child's father's dad's dad's father.
06:37The other thing that's left out for her grandchild is not the child's father.
06:39Obviously, the priorities are a little out of whack here.
06:42We need to find out who I know she does.
06:46No she does not you!
06:46That's my grandchild.
06:48And this is my daughter, Nathan so you need to f*** out.
06:50You are no longer involved in this situation.
06:53Number four, Kim's multiple appearances.
06:56Several mothers have come to the show over and over trying to find their children's father.
07:00Kim was a young mom with two children.
07:02Over the years, she tried in vain to find their fathers.
07:05Each time, she was devastated.
07:16Man after man submitted to a DNA test and each time, she was let down once again.
07:22Kim's breakdowns often led her backstage where she began to beat on doors and throw objects,
07:27while hyperventilating and tearfully blaming herself.
07:30I know.
07:33You fought this great fight to find the fathers.
07:38I don't want you to feel embarrassed.
07:41I don't want you to feel humiliated.
07:43Over time, her story became a long-running saga that might never get its happy ending.
07:47Well, find the father of your kids and take care of them.
07:49What have I been trying to do this whole time?
07:52You act like I haven't been trying to do anything.
07:54Number three, Shalanda's multiple appearances.
07:57Maury ran 17 different DNA tests to help Shalanda find the father of her child and was
08:02never successful.
08:03Now, in the end, Shalanda wound up DNA testing 17 different men.
08:09Each time, the revelation hit her like a ton of bricks.
08:13One time, she even dropped out of her chair, taking the piece of furniture with her.
08:16In the case of three-year-old Kayla, Bernard, you are not the father.
08:23Hilariously, Maury made sure the chair was okay before tending to her.
08:27Though never successful, Shalanda and her husband put an exclamation point on her Maury career when
08:32her husband, Tyrell, had a paternity crisis of his own.
08:36It turned out he was not the father of Shalanda's sister's baby.
08:40You are not-
08:45Can I get my money back?
08:47Number two, Isaac jumps for it.
08:50Isaac promised that when, not if, he was proved not to be this baby's father,
08:54he would act a complete fool for the audience.
09:06And you can't say he didn't call his shot.
09:09The audience hated him, and he knew it.
09:11The inevitable verdict was handed down.
09:13He leapt from the stage at the audience he was totally against and put on the show he promised.
09:22We expect antics at the Maury taping,
09:25but this was just another thing entirely.
09:27His goofy, arrogant, but justified display had the entire crowd roaring like it was the Cirque du Soleil.
09:34We'll be glad to help you if you want us to.
09:36If not, you're a very strong person.
09:40You're that strong.
09:41You can raise that child to be the kind of child you want us to be, all right?
09:44I know.
09:45Number one, Andrew's dance.
09:47Sabrina and Andrew were high school sweethearts.
09:49Despite being 5,000% sure that Andrew was the father of her child,
09:53Sabrina's certainty is no match for the bitter honesty of Maury's DNA testing.
09:58I don't ask nobody for help because it's like I said, I'll take care of him.
10:02He needs to step up.
10:03I didn't do this by myself.
10:04It takes two.
10:05And I didn't do this by myself.
10:07I'm not the dad.
10:08I'm not the dad.
10:09I'm not the dad.
10:09When Andrew finds out he is not the father,
10:11he launches into one of the smoothest,
10:13you are not the father dances we've ever seen.
10:16Here he is, Andrew.
10:17Andrew, come on.
10:19The footage keeps cutting back and forth between Maury consoling an emotional Sabrina backstage,
10:24and Andrew's continued celebration for the cheering audience.
10:27This is the duality of life.
10:29Greek comedy and tragedy, playing out right on the Maury set.
10:33You are not the father.
10:46Did you catch any of these incredible reveals live on TV?
