The holographic head of the Professor pops up.
Professor Farnsworth: Good news everyone! You have to deliver cue cards to Channel 2, the talk show network.
Fry: Cool, I love shows like Jerry Springer.
Leela: Fry, Jerry Springer is a bunch of white trash. Now Maury Povich, his a talk show host.
Bender: Your human talk shows are inferior to our superior robot talk shows...like Talk-Show Bot 1 and Talk-Show Bot 2 and etc.
Professor Farnsworth: Now, now...go now before I get angry.
Fry: Maury Povich, his show is a bunch of freaks!
Leela: So is Jerry Springer!
The Microsoft XP sounds.
Leela: What did you need to do that!
Professor Farnsworth: Go.
Leela, Fry & Bender leave.
Professor Farnsworth: I would say goodbye personally, but I'm busy with Dr. Zoidberg, I need to extract DNA from him to make a super lobster that pinches people to death.
The holographic head disappears.
Leela: C'mon let's go.
Bender: Hey Fry, what's so great about Jerry Springer anyway?
Fry: You see, a guy cut off his own wing-dang-doodle.
Bender: WHOOOOOOO!
Cut to the Planet Express ship.
Bender: I'm ready for some action (cut to female Planet Express ship voice as Bender's eyes turn red) and cuddly tapirs!
Fry: What was that?
Bender's eyes turn back to normal.
Bender: Nothing, now let's go. I'm missing All My Circuits here, it was a juicy episode.
Leela starts off the ship and flies off. Cut to Channel 2 Studios. The ship lands on the executives' cars and squashes them. Leela, Fry & Bender walk off.

Leela: A woman's.
Fry: Sure, blame the good guy.
Cut inside. Leela, Fry & Bender met up with the Network Alien (i.e. Horrible Genetous Blob).
Mr. Blob: Hello, my name is Horrible Genetous Blob; you can call me Mr. Blob. Have you delivered those cue cards?
Leela: Yep.
Pause.
Leela: Bender?
Bender: What I'm empty.
Bender bangs his chest cabinet, as it opens and several cue cards fall out.
Bender: What?
Mr. Blob: Okay, you want to be an audience on the Jerry Springer show?
Leela & Fry: Yes (Leela: No).
Fry: Yes.
Bender: Okay.
Fry: Two against one!
Leela: Ugh.
Mr. Blob hands them out tickets.
Mr. Blob: It's in Studio A, meet me there and you'll get to meet Jerry Springer after the show!

Jerry Springer's Head: Hello, my guests today say: "Father Knows Transsexual" where fathers have battles with there sons yearning to be a woman.
The title cards "Jerry Springer" and "Father Knows Transsexual" appears on the left hand corner of the screen.
Jerry Springer's Head: Also to those viewers wanting to watch the earlier episodes, Channel 2 has now found the "destroyed" tapes which disappeared with the second coming of Jesus, along with the other tapes. Old episodes re-premiere today after this show.
Fry: This is great, huh?
Leela:(sarcastic): Yeah, great.
Jerry Springer's Head: Tomorrow's episode "Gay Guy and the Ghost" will be pre-empted due to coverage of the Space Pope's funeral.
Fry: Hurry up!
Jerry Springer's Head: It's what the up-to-the-minute holographic cue cards are telling me! Okay, our first guest is a 19 year-old father who is dealing with his 39-year old transvestite son. Please welcome Bob Saget Jnr. Jnr. Jnr.
Cut to Bob Saget Jnr. Jnr. Jnr. who is dressed in "KISS" makeup, is sitting on a chair. The "revealing" parts of his body are blurred.
Bender: WAY TO SHOW YOURSELF! WHOOOOOOO!
Fry: Shut up.
Jerry Springer's Head: Bob, your yearning to be a woman, aren't you?
Bob: No, I'm just a hardcore "KISS" fan who is apart of a nudist colony.
Bender: IT SHOWS! WHOOOOOO!
Fry: Shut up.
Jerry Springer's Head: Here's your father Bob Saget Jnr. Jnr. Jnr. Jnr.
Bob Saget Jnr. Jnr. Jnr. Jnr. enters.
Bob's Dad: How dare you be a transsexual, you bastard!
The dad aims to punch his son, then Steve's head in a jar, attached to a robot body prevents this by breaking them apart.
Jerry Springer's Head: Thank you Steve.
Steve's Head: Nice to work for you, Jerry.
Jerry Springer's Head walks up to Fry and grabs out his microphone hand.
Fry: Yeah, I'll like to say, you're crazy for being a transgender! Also, you don't look any better; any gay guy would say so!
Randy: That's right!
All the audience chant, throw a riot.
Jerry Springer's Head: Eh, this is stupid.
Fry: Show me some boobs!
Bender: YEAH! WHOOOOOOOOO!
Jerry Springer's Head: My holographic cue card says to cut to commercial; we'll be back with this story after a news break, and a message by Medium Tabasco.
Bender: WHOOOOOOOOO!
A signal saying: "We'll Be Right Back", then cut back to the studio. It's on fire a little bit, and the rioting has stopped.
Bob: This is stupid Jerry; I'm a mega KISS fan...
Fry: HEY! A FAN OF BEING KISSED BY A GUY!
Bender: WHOOOOOOOO!
Leela moans.
Bob: Come down here, and lets fight!
Fry: Sure, Leela hold my shirt.
Fry takes his shirt off and gives it to Leela, and runs down the rows as the audience cheer: "Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!"
Jerry Springer's Head: Do something Steve!
Steve's Head: I want to see what happens.
Fry punches Bob, and then kicks them in the "final areas" (still blurred, mind you).
Bob: You can punch the punch and kick the kick, but can you do this!
Fry kicks Bob in the chest as he flies off, the audience go nuts (and riot, again).
Mr. Blob: RATINGS ARE THROUGH THE ROOF!
Jerry Springer's Head: Really?
Mr. Blob slides through and eats Bob, and he dissolves.
Jerry Springer's Head: Wait...22.22/222? That's the highest ratings ever!
Fry: Ugh, go Fry...go Fry! Go Fry! Go Fry!
Leela: Fry is such an idiot.
Bender: Did you see that?
Leela: Yes.
Bender: That was awesome!
Leela: Immature if you ask me.
Announcer: Later on the show...
Cut backstage.
Mr. Blob: Hello Jerry Springer, this is Phillip Fry, Bender Rodriguez and Turanga Leela.
Jerry Springer's Head: Why should I care?
Mr. Blob: This is the guy who skyrocketed ratings, the ratings are so good, that I even considered another season!
Jerry Springer's Head: Geez, let it die.
Mr. Blob: Sorry you, Mr. Fry...would you like your own talk show?
Fry: Huh? I'm not Channel 2 material, heck...I'm not even FOX material.
Mr. Blob: If you let everything run wild, and your reckless behaviour, money in the bag!
Leela: What?
Fry: Okay!
Leela: What?

Leela enters.
Leela: I can't believe that Fry has his own talk show on Channel 2!
Bender: It has a name Leela, Talk-O-Rama.
Leela: If a dumbwad like Fry can have his own show, I should!
Bender: How? You're not Talk-O-Rama material.
Leela: I might not be a material girl living in a material world; I'm going to a channel where a girl like me can make it!
Bender: How?
Leela: It might involve going down to the lowest dominator, but everyone watches it because they are perverts...and that's at...

Leela enters.
Executive Robot #2: There is such thing as knocking!
Leela: Okay, can I have my own talk show?
Rupert Murdoch's Head: Ugh...like Humorbot 5.0 style or Talk-Show Bot 1 and 2?

Rupert Murdoch's Head: Okay, up against "The Fry Show"?
Leela: Yes thank you.
Gail Berman's Head: Time to scrap the "Debbie Does Dallas" rerun.
Cut to Planet Express lounge. Everyone is watching TV, and Fry enters.
Fry: Friends! I made my first episode and it's going to be shown in a few minutes!

Grady: Yes, all our doctors were dumb, and we froze ourselves including Liww, our son, to the year 3005.
Leela: Which is this very year?
Pry: Yes.
Fry: What the Hell is this, let's watch my show!
Leela: I don't think so Fry, I just feed the remote to Nibbler.
Fry: Ugh.
Nibbler burps and it changes to "CBS".
Announcer: Tonight on 60 Minutes, a man tries to have sex with all the female producers...in 60 minutes, not really because of commercials, but this would be commercial free!
Nibbler burps and changes to "Channel 2".

Fry: But you ordered 5 trial episodes.
Mr. Blob: Yes, 5 more days until May ends, meaning the regular season ends...Gentle Leela has also 5 trial episodes, and if it survives, 50 more episodes will be ordered. Don't screw up!

Executive Robot #2: Next fall, new shows will only have 1 episode to prove itself.
Cut to the FOX conference room.

Gail Berman's Head: Just watch the money and rip-offs roll in!
Rupert Murdoch's Head: Leela with your mind so bright, will you stay around to kill our competitors in the ratings with all your might?

Rupert Murdoch's Head: No...100 episodes!
Dramatic chord.
Executive Robot #1: How did she know about the 50 episodes?

Gay people who have sex with their sisters are not gay, but incest bastards who deserve to go to jail, also brothers who marry each other should not marry, but if they do so only if they were drunk, having a night out in Las Vegas and annul the marriage as soon as possible. Make freaks of yourselves, and appear on my show!

Fry: That reminds me, where were those 3 idiots who didn't watch my show!
Cut to a strip club. Dwight is smoking a cigar, Cubert is dancing with an exotic dancer, and Tinny Tin is looking at the robot strippers.
Cubert: This is great!
