The daytime talk show Maury is coming to an end after more than 30 seasons, after it was cancelled by NBCUniversal.
The syndicated show, which Maury Povich, 83, began hosting in 1991, is slated to conclude producing original episodes to air through this fall, Broadcasting + Cable was first to report Saturday.
New episodes of the talk show, known for its paternity reveals, will remain on the air through September
Reruns of the show will remain airing in syndication, in an arrangement similar to that of The Jerry Springer Show, according to the outlet. Original episodes of Springer's show ended in 2018 and have continued to air in the seasons since.
Maury's last renewal came in 2020, which extended the show through the 2021-2022 TV season, People reported, citing a news release from NBC Universal
The popular series reached its 3,000th episode in May of 2016, according to TV Line.
Povich in 2012 chat with the Chicago Tribune about the show's enduring popularity.
'They touch so many classic themes, whether it’s love, distrust, conflict, drama,' said Povich, who was initially a radio reporter out of Washington, D.C., before hosting the TV tabloid A Current Affair from 1986-1990.
'And the paternity shows in particular, you’ve got he-said, she-said, is-he-the-father, isn’t-he. While soap operas play those themes out over six months, we play them out over 12 minutes

This is so sad
Hallelujah!!
Him and Springer helped to rapidly hasten the downfall of this country.
30 years, how did I miss it? Wait, I haven’t watched TV in over 30 years, that must be the problem.
I dont usually watch tv, but a hot romanian stripper/gymnast i knew liked to watch both maury and springer so I sometimes did too
I didn’t know it was still on.
The guys 83 and the shows been on for 30 years…should have just let the guy retire. Oh well it’s nice that this trash won’t be on the air anymore but it will probably be replaced by something worse
Another media slimeball who gained fame and fortune while putting out trash TV.
Didn’t think Maury Povich was 83 but c’mon at his age and a 30 year run?
Time to turn it in.
Planned parenthood can open a DNA Testing center Division.
Yup!
He’s probably not “woke” enough for these days…
Back around 2000, I had disk fusion surgery and had to spend the night in the hospital. I was in a double occupancy room but by myself. About every 90 minutes the nurses would wake me up to check something, blood pressure, etc. So, I just left the TV on. I woke up about 3AM and Jerry Springer was on. There were two guys fighting over who got the girl who probably outweighed both of them combined. I was still on a morphine drip. I was fascinated. Now I now the attraction of Springer and Maury. They’re great entertainment if you’re on drugs.

Spring was trash, but it was hard to dislike the guy. He had such a deadpan humor while the guests were fighting. He was a true circus ringleader.
Me either. Apparently he’s still married to Connie Chung who is now 75. My how time zips by.
I didn’t realize he was still on TV. Maybe he could start a podcast.
What took so long?
His contribution to the degradation and coarsening of America is duly noted. Take a bow, Maury.
When you all see bLACK females acting like hyenas in the street, at schools, in fast food places, tip your hat to Maury and Jerry.
no!
Maury Povich illustrates how men and women are responsible for their own bad choices and behavior.
Your logic there is airtight.
After the 5th negative DNA test of probable daddies they kept testing the neighborhood with negative results. Then it just became a sad commentary...
And that was just within a few weeks of being laid up injured and was sort of forced to watch nothing but crap television because nothing but crap television was on the air. This was before smartphones.
