Maury Povich
Maury Povich is an American television host best known for his tabloid talk show *Maury*, which ran from 1991 to 2022.
The show became famous for paternity test reveals and lie detector results, with Povich's catchphrase You are NOT the father becoming a cultural meme.
His name evokes dramatic confrontations and lowbrow daytime television: It was like something out of Maury Povich.
