'Maury' has been cancelled after 31 years on air. The talk show - which has been fronted by 83-year-old Maury Povich for almost 4,000 episodes since 1991 - was famed for dealing with issues such as teenage pregnancy, sexual infidelity and revealing paternity test results to a live audience but is coming to an end after three decades because the veteran TV star wants to retire.

In a statement, Maury said: "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!'" A source previously explained that while the star - who is married to journalist and TV reporter Connie Chung - is "young at heart", retirement has been on the cards for a while.
