Before becoming a cultural icon, Maury was covering some of the biggest moments in American history, including the Kennedy assassination, the civil rights movement, and Watergate. He reflects on those early years in journalism and how they shaped his instincts as a storyteller. They also get into the evolution of his talk show, how it shifted over time, and what it was really like behind the scenes of the moments that defined it. Maury shares stories from the show, including one of the most unbelievable paternity results he ever revealed, and explains why he never wanted to know the outcome before opening the envelope on air.
