The end is near for a daytime classic. Maury Povich confirmed that Maury will end in fall 2022 after the syndicated talk show finishes season 31.“Six years ago when I was ready to retire, my NBCUniversal family asked me to continue the show,” the 83-year-old host explained said in a statement to Us Weekly on Sunday, March 20. “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.”The TV personality added, “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!’”Tracie Wilson, NBCUniversal Syndication Studios executive vice president, further confirmed that the Washington, D.C.
native was the one to make the decision to end the series, which launched in 1991. Povich is the longest-running daytime talk show host in the history of broadcast television.“Maury and I decided two years ago that this season would be the farewell season for the show, and while his retirement is bittersweet, we are so happy for him to be able to spend more time on the golf course,” Wilson said in a statement. “Maury is a television icon, a pop culture legend and we couldn’t be more proud to have been a part of his incredible career.”Much like NBCUniversal’s other syndicated hits, such as The Jerry Springer Show and Judge Judy, the end of original episodes does not mean Maury will be absent from the airwaves.
Anyone missing his delightful delivery of the iconic line, “You are not the father!” will be able to see episodes in syndication.
