LOS ANGELES (AP) โ€” Maury Povich received the Daytime Emmys Lifetime Achievement Honor on Saturday from his wife, journalist Connie Chung.

The 84-year-old talk show host, who retired last year, was honored during the creative arts ceremony at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel in downtown Los Angeles.

โ€œI know that you think heโ€™s been determining the paternity of every child in America all his life," Chung said in her introduction. "But no, in his 67 freaking years in television, heโ€™s been a news reporter and a news anchor and old fashion talk show host interviewing world leaders, politicians, members of Congress, authors, movie stars and even Julia Child.โ€

Among those paying tribute in videos were Whoopi Goldberg, Kelly Clarkson, Lewis Black, Karamo Brown and sports broadcasters Michael Wilbon and Tony Kornheiser.

Povich took the stage to chants of โ€œMaury, Maury, Maury!โ€ He ended his tabloid-style show last year, which began in 1991. He hosted โ€œA Current Affairโ€ from 1986-90 for then-Fox Television owner Rupert Murdoch.

Povich recalled when โ€œA Current Affairโ€ was nominated for awards during its run.

โ€œRupert Murdoch used to tell me all that time, โ€˜Donโ€™t particularly think about that, Maury, weโ€™re more interested in winning viewers than awards,'โ€ Povich said.

Raising his Emmy award in the air, Povich said, โ€œRupert, the hell with that.โ€
