Maury Povich's daytime talk show may have ended, but the 84-year-old star still has plans to help families determine the paternity of their children with an at-home paternity testing company.

In a clever nod to his TV catchphrase, Povich is calling his new company The Results Are In. Each testing kit includes materials for gathering DNA and instructions on how to take a sample, which is then sent to DNA Diagnostics Center—the same DNA testing lab popularized on his show.

Results will be available in just two to three business days and are promised a 99.99 percent accuracy rate. And of course, it's all confidential.

"I've seen firsthand how DNA testing can change lives and bring families together," Maury told TMZ in a statement. "With 'The Results Are In,' we're making it easier and more affordable than ever before for people to get the answers they need."

Maury, originally known as The Maury Povich Show, ended in September 2022 after an impressive 31-season run, making it the longest running daytime talk show with a single host in U.S. history. The many colorful subjects explored on the show included sexual infidelity (for which Povich conducted lie detector tests), makeovers, "out of control" teens that were often sent to boot camps, and paternity tests.

While there was plenty of criticism over the insincere sympathy with how Povich treated his guests, and for using their problems as entertainment, the host actually rooted for men to own up to their paternity and become supportive fathers. As a steadfast proponent of the nuclear family, Povich felt strongly that both parents should be involved in a child's life.

It appears that he's continuing with his calling, with or without a studio audience.
