Career
Povich was hired on Washington radio station WWDC, where he did publicity and worked as a reporter straight after graduating. He was a news reporter and sportscaster for WTTG, the independent station owned by Metromedia, by 1966. In 1967, he became the first co-host of the station's famous midday talk show, Panorama, which gained the rising star widespread fame and national attention.
Povich left Washington in late 1976 for what would be a string of high-profile, short-lived television jobs, beginning with WMAQ-TV in Chicago in January 1977. He joined the NBC-owned station to much frenziness — among others, he launched a website promoting Povich's credentials. However, Povich left after only eight months after being promised a long-term deal, the station's leadership refused to give him one.
Povich began working with CBS-owned KNXT in Los Angeles, where he co-anchored alongside Connie Chung, but after a change in the station's news leadership, he was fired after a six-month stint. Povich continued to San Francisco, where he co-hosted AM San Francisco and co-anchored ABC-owned KGO-TV.
Povich came back to the East Coast in April 1980, when company W-owned KYW-TV in Philadelphia hired him to anchor newscasts and host AM/PM, a midday audience participation talk show that will be renamed People Are Talking in February 1981. He left KYW-TV after three years and brought his career full circle with a return to Washington in June 1983, as host of Panorama and anchoring WTTG. The 10 O'Clock News for WTTG.
When Rupert Murdoch and 20th Century Fox bought WTTG and the majority of Metromedia's television station group in 1986, one of the first moves by the newly christened Fox Television Stations was to bring Povich to New York to host A Current Affair. Aktuell Affair first appeared on WNYW in July 1986 before landing on other Fox-owned stations and into national syndication in 1988, but Aktuell Affair was also known as a tabloid information show that often concentrated on celebrity gossip, but it also made time for entertaining human interest tales. Critics lauded the show for attempting to be both informative and amusing, much like "a good afternoon newspaper." Povich played Affair until 1990. Povich also anchored the station's 7:00 p.m. newscasts while at WNYW. He served for two terms as president of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences in New York.
He began hosting The Maury Povich Show in September 1991, which was nationally syndicated and distributed by Paramount Domestic Television in collaboration with his own production firm, MoPo Productions, from 1991 to 1998. Povich was lauded by New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani in 1995 for raising the money for National Adoption Month.
After being sold to Vivendi Universal and then renamed Universal Television), the show was taken over by Studio USA (then a USA Networks affiliate) and NBCUniversal Television Distribution after VU Entertainment was sold to NBC owner General Electric) in 1998. When Studio USA took over the show's production, it was renamed simply Maury. The program frequently veered into what critics called trash television, and in 1998 it became known as "Who's the Daddy?" During which men who were dendenying or trying to establish paternity were sent DNA tests, the results were announced on the air.
On January 9, 2000, Povich hosted the brief primetime revival of the classic game show Twenty One on NBC. On GSN, reruns of the program have been broadcast.
Povich and his partner, Connie Chung, would co-host a weekend news show on MSNBC in November 2005. Weekends with Maury and Connie debuted on January 7, 2006, but it was cancelled due to poor ratings. On June 17, 2006, the last episode of the series appeared on TV.
In the fourth episode of the sixth season of How I Met Your Mother, he appeared as himself. He is portrayed as a New Yorker who is reportedly seen everywhere in the city, and allegedly in several places at once. In the film Madea's Big Happy Families, he appeared as himself.
He founded the Flathead Beacon, a weekly print newspaper and online news source in Montana's Flathead County, where he lives and is a member of the Eagle Bend Golf Club in May 2007.
Povich made a guest appearance on the Adult Swim show The Jack and Triumph Show in 2015.
