Most famous-or infamous-for its You ARE/ARE NOT the father! DNA dramas, Maury Povich is part of America’s cultural landscape. In this book, author Denise Noe tells the whole story of how The Maury Povich Show morphed from a traditional talk show to one that is ribald and raunchy yet-in contrast to its biggest rival, The Jerry Springer Show-firmly grounded in reality. Noe takes us backstage as a lighting director, a music composer, a set designer, a hypnotist, actors, and the ordinary people who appear on Maury spill the secrets of how this show’s potpourri of phobia treatments, rebellious teenagers, controlling men and their downtrodden women, glamorous gender benders, and the famous paternity tests routinely come into America’s homes.
