The Maury Show will come to an end after 30-plus years of determining whether you are or are not the father.
It was revealed that the talk show host initially planned to retire six years ago before agreeing to come back. “Six years ago when I was ready to retire, my NBCUniversal family asked me to continue the show…Even though I told them I was ready for assisted living, out of loyalty to NBCUniversal and my more than 100 staff and crew members, Tracie Wilson and I agreed to one more deal. I’m so proud of my relationship with NBCUniversal and all those who worked on the Maury show, but as I occasionally tell my guests: ‘Enough, already!” Maury said.
The Maury Povich Show was launched in 1991 by Paramount Domestic Television. It shortened its name to Maury in the mid-1990s. In 1998, Studio USA took over the program. The company was subsequently acquired by NBCUniversal.
Several other daytime shows have also been pulled recently, including “The Good Dish”, “Nick Cannon” and “The Wendy Williams Show.”
