About this episode

Bunnie DeFord interviews Maury Povich about his career, personal experiences, and insights on journalism and social media.

(Originally aired: 11/2/25) Step into the world of daytime TV royalty as Bunnie is joined by the legendary Maury Povich. In this candid conversation, Maury takes us through his unforgettable journey from the newsroom to becoming a cultural phenomenon, thanks to outrageous teen drama and those iconic “You are NOT the father!” moments. He shares standout memories — including a powerful interview with Muhammad Ali — and opens up about the meaningful adoption journey he and Connie Chung experienced together. Maury also weighs in on social media’s impact, the value of local journalism, and what his well-earned retirement looks like now (spoiler: golf is definitely involved). Plus, he gives a peek behind the scenes of the thriving Montana newspaper he and Connie run. A legendary career, a timeless storyteller — this one’s special.
