The evolution of TV and media is moving rapidly and the number of viewing options we’ve got these days is just insane. We’ve seen things change over time, some for bad, some for good, but the invention of trash TV is one thing that appears here to stay. One of the figures that is on the Mt. Rushmore of trash TV, and the subject of today’s show, made paternity tests fun again and finally hung it up a few years ago. Maury Povich is synonymous with the likes of Jerry Spinger and Geraldo and stamped his show with the famous, “you ARE or ARE NOT the father” DNA test antics. But were there antics off set that caused an issues? How many guys would you need to sleep with to hold the record for most tests on the show? We’ll answer these questions and more in the Maury Povich episode of AHC Podcast.
