Jerry Springer Is Shocked That Pimps Have Mothers (VIDEO)

On the latest episode of 'The Jerry Springer Show' (weekdays, syndicated), host Jerry Springer must deal with a pimp, his hooker, and the hooker's boyfriend. The boyfriend wants the young lady to stop being a hooker, which leads to some conflict with her pimp. Naturally, trouble is the result.

But the most fascinating part of the show is Jerry's extended conversation with the pimp, whose name is "Rich Boy." Jerry seems intrigued by the whole concept of pimping, and he asks Rich Boy lots of questions, including whether hookers get "a good pension plan."

A little later on, Jerry surprises Rich Boy by having his mother come on the show. "Oh, Lord," Rich Boy says. " ... That's my momma." And Jerry seems startled by even this mundane fact.

"Pimps have moms?!" Jerry says to Rich Boy. Uh, yes, Jerry. They do. Pimps don't just spring up fully-formed from the ground or anything. Even pimps have mothers; everyone has to come from somewhere.
