James (pictured), 32, came onto the program and boasted that he met his then-17-year-old girlfriend about a year-and-a-half ago. When she turned 18, he really turned up the heat, boasting that he effortlessly made her fall in love with him.

The couple moved into his girlfriend’s mother’s house, and James got his own room (the biggest room in the house, he made sure to add).

James told host Jerry Springer that he didn’t feel guilty about his situation despite living off the government, calling himself “the king.” When Springer asked him if he was concerned that his girlfriend would leave him when she found out he was cheating, he arrogantly said that he wouldn’t have to “leave the castle” because he’d gotten her pregnant.

When Springer asked the female members of the audience to raise their hands if they wouldn’t go out with James, seemingly all of them did so emphatically.

“It looks like you better hold on to who you have,” the host said.

Well played, Jerry. Nailed it.
