Maury Povich has another heartbreaking news to offer after revealing the end of his three-decade-old show, "Maury."

The Hollywood Reporter revealed that the NBCUniversal series would stop its original productions this year. New episodes will still be broadcast until September before the reruns air in syndication.

Aside from the show's ending, Povich also disclosed that he is retiring in the industry.

In a statement ET Online shared, the longtime host revealed that he is retiring at the same time as "Maury" last episode. He added that he had been ready to retire six years ago, but NBCUniversal reportedly asked him to continue the show.

"Even though I told them I was ready for assisted living, out of loyalty to NBCUniversal and my more than 100 staff and crew members, Tracie Wilson and I agreed to one more deal. I'm so proud of my relationship with NBCUniversal and all those who worked on the "Maury" show but as I occasionally tell my guests on "Maury," "Enough, already!" he said.

A source then disclosed to the same news outlet that, while Povich is young at heart, he is already 83 years old. With that, he has been ready to retire in the past years. However, his love for his show and the people he employed made him stay. The COVID-19 pandemic also allowed him to continue moving so he could help his staff and employee amid the precarious time.

After giving up his show, Povich and his wife, Connie, are now getting excited to spend more time with their family.

Remembering Maury Povich's Time on "Maury"

Povich launched his "The Maury Povich Show" in 1991 before shortening the title to "Maury" in 1998.

In the years thereafter, the show scored people's attention due to the social issues it tackled. Its paternity test segments eventually led to Povich having his famous line, "You are not the father."

"They touch so many classic themes, whether it's love, distrust, conflict, drama. And the paternity shows in particular, you've got he-said, she-said, is-he-the-father, isn't-he. While soap operas play those themes out over six months, we play them out over 12 minutes, he told the Chicago Tribune.

Povich also landed a role on "How I Met Your Mother" and "Madea's Big Happy Family" following the success of his show. He also hosted "A Current Affair" for a few years.
