Maury Povich returned September 15, 2008 for his 11th season as host of NBC Universal Domestic Television Distribution's syndicated hit talk show, "Maury." Povich is the only person in the history of syndicated television to have back-to-back-to-back successes. The string stretches 20+ years, beginning with the ground breaking Fox tabloid news magazine "A Current Affair" (1986-1990), Paramount's "The Maury Povich Show" (1991-1998), and "Maury" (1998-present).
Povich's broadcast journalism roots took hold more than 40 years ago in his native Washington, D.C. where he began as a radio street reporter which led to news, talk and sports shows on WTTG-TV, a local Metromedia station. Povich was the original host of a two-hour daily live news talk show titled "PANORAMA," which became a television staple for those working on Capitol Hill and in the White House. It was the only midday news show in the nation's capital before the advent of the 24-hour cable news networks.
During the tumultuous 60's and 70's, Povich covered the aftermath of the assassination of John F. Kennedy, riots in Washington following the death of Martin Luther King, Jr., anti-war demonstrations during the Vietnam War and the historic events of Watergate.
In 1977, after 15 years in Washington broadcast journalism, Povich left his hometown and over the next seven years anchored newscasts for ABC, CBS and NBC owned and operated stations in Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Philadelphia. While in Los Angeles at the CBS station, Povich co-anchored the news with his future wife-to-be, Connie Chung. He then returned to WTTG-TV in Washington to host "PANORAMA" and the 10 O'clock News in 1983. That station and the Metromedia group were sold to Rupert Murdoch in 1985 and became Fox Television. In 1986, Murdoch brought Povich to New York to help create and host the maverick news magazine "A Current Affair," which became an instant hit and changed the face of network and cable news.
Povich served two consecutive terms as president of the New York Chapter of the National Television Academy (NTA). Previous presidents of the New York Chapter of the (NTA) have included such luminary figures as Ed Sullivan and Walter Cronkite. In March 2006, Povich received the prestigious Governor's Award from the New York Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. The award recognizes individuals whose achievements in the television industry are exemplary.
Povich heads Mo Po Entertainment, which produces original programming content and won an Academy Award in 2003 for Best Documentary Short, "Twin Towers," of which Povich was an executive producer.
In May of 2007, Povich and his wife, Connie Chung, launched a newspaper in Flathead Valley, Montana, where they own a home. The "Flathead-Beacon" is available on-line daily and 50,000 copies are printed and distributed weekly.
Family and children's causes play a special role in the life of Povich, whose efforts to raise awareness for the National Adoption Month led then-New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani to honor the talk show host at a special City Hall ceremony in 1995. Povich is a major contributor to many charitable causes including the National Adoption Agency, the Fallen Heroes Fund, Post 9/11 funds, the New York Chapter of the American Red Cross, and the Jewish Federation of Greater Monmouth County, NJ. He has also endowed a Writer's in Residence Program at the Kelly Writer's House at the University of Pennsylvania.
Povich has been married to broadcast journalist Connie Chung since 1984. Povich and Chung currently live in Manhattan with their 13-year-old son, Matthew. Povich also has two grown daughters and four grandchildren.
Povich is the son of legendary "Washington Post" sports columnist Shirley Povich, who worked at the Post for 75 years. His sister, Lynn, was a former senior editor at Newsweek, and editor-in-chief of Working Woman. Povich's brother, David, is the senior law partner of the well-known Washington law firm Williams and Connolly.
A scratch golfer, Povich competes frequently in U.S. Senior Amateur golf tournaments.
Talk show veteran Paul Faulhaber has been executive producer of "Maury," NBC Universal Domestic Television Distribution's nationally syndicated talk show hosted by Maury Povich, since August 2005.
Faulhaber has been with "Maury" since its premiere in September 1998, when he was the show's coordinating producer. Faulhaber was then promoted to the program's senior supervising producer in 2001, and then the show's co-executive producer in September 2002.
Prior to "Maury," Faulhaber was a producer at "Gayle King" during the show's run from 1997-98. Prior to that, he spent three years as a producer at "The Gordon Elliot Show" from 1994-1997. Faulhaber began his television career in 1991 at "The Montel Williams Show," where he started in the research department and then moved on to become an associate producer through the 1994 season.
Faulhaber currently resides in New York with his wife and their three sons.
