NEW YORK — Veteran daytime talk show host Maury Povich is retiring, with the last original episodes of “Maury” set for broadcast in September after 31 years on the air.NBC Universal confirmed the impending exit of the 83-year-old Povich on Monday. Old episodes are likely to live on in some form, however, with the company saying that “the show has thousands of lively, entertaining and dramatic episodes that will continue to be successful in daytime for years to come.”“I’m so proud of my relationship with NBC Universal and all those who worked on the ‘Maury’ show but as I occasionally tell my guests on ‘Maury,’ enough already,” he said.His show hit upon a successful formula many years ago and has stuck with it: using tests to reveal, on the air, the father of babies where paternity is in question or lie detectors to see if a spouse is cheating or not.It wasn’t highbrow entertainment, but was popular enough for Povich to build a devoted audience among viewers young enough to be his grandchildren.Povich was a television journalist before going into the talk show world, beginning in Washington, where his father, Shirley, was a well-known sportswriter.
Jerry Springer reveals his true feelings about his infamous talk show
03.03.2022 - 21:43 / wonderwall.com
Page Six of his legendary eponymous talk show. "I mean, I never took it seriously. I always knew it was a stupid show.
But it's fun, and people enjoyed it."While it's almost impossible to not have an opinion about the show, you can't understate its success, as it aired for 27 seasons between 1991 and 2018. In all, over 5,000 shows aired. Initially, "The Jerry Springer Show" dealt with politics and mainstream issues, but it quickly changed and focused on cheating, race, paternity and other tantalizing issues that were gritty and largely eschewed on network TV. The show, Jerry said, had "a democratic quality to it.""'Seinfeld,' 'Frasier,' 'Friends,' it was always well-scrubbed-looking, upper middle class people.
And that was it, and all of a sudden my show comes on," Jerry said, taking pride in the fact that he gave a platform to people who "had never really been on television before."Interestingly, but today's standards, Jerry, 78, thinks his show is tame, especially when compared to what can be found on social media."Our show is like 'I Love Lucy,'" he joked. These days, Jerry is still on TV, but in a much different facet. The former lawyer and politician is now the star of "Judge Jerry," which is in its third season of syndication. In a drastic shift from his talk show, the TV icon maintains a courtroom that isn't boastful or brash."It's just not my personality.
No one would take it seriously if all of a sudden I started [yelling]. A lot of people watched for 27 years my crazy show, but I'm never yelling at the guests, I'm never cursing," he said. "So it's easier to be yourself than to play any other role.
