Maury began its life as The Maury Povich Show in 1991 before adopting the official moniker Maury in 1998. The show has been known for salacious topics, including airing results of paternity tests, with Povich’s delivery of “You are not the father” having become a notable catchphrase.

Povich and his wife, famed newscaster Connie Chung, 75, were snapped in Texas in 2019

1. Yikes!

... I had no idea that show was still on TV! I think it was on in the '80s... really lurid show, when they all went for lurid ratings. Geraldo and Jerry Springer... Sally Jessie... even Oprah and Donahue went to the trash... ugh... my aunt had those shows on all day.

for WTTG channel 5 in the Washington, DC area. He did the sports reporting for the The Ten O'Clock news show.

5. I used to watch him on "A Current Affair"

A real pioneer in Tabloid TV. It was interesting for the "watching the train wreck" aspect.

I had no idea he was still on the air.

No more of that "you ARE the father!"

10. He was never important to me

I can take one look at people and tell if they're related. America has a terminal case of half-siblings.
