On Par with Maury Povich

Maury pulled up to Nick Cannon's spades table. Now Nick pulls up to Maury's, and Maury brought the envelope. Nick Cannon walks in, Maury Povich holds up a Manila envelope, and the first words out of Nick's mouth are "I am the father." From there, nothing is off limits. Nick tells Maury how he actually co-parents 12 kids with six mothers ("I live with them all. Just in different houses"), why he lets his son date but not his daughter, how many of the kids he's ever gotten in one room, and what the Netflix docuseries coming this winter will show, including Mariah.
Then Maury opens the On Par Love Line: five real viewer dilemmas for the host of Nick Cannon @ Night. Two Thanksgiving invitations from two different women. A 2 a.m. "I'm in your driveway" text from a number he didn't save. "I just got DNA results and I am the father. What is step one?" And a man whose lawyers want a 30-page NDA signed before the appetizers. Nick's answers lead straight into the personal stuff: the prenup with Mariah Carey, why he says he would never get married again, why the divorce stayed amicable, and what really started the beef with Eminem ("He disrespected my woman"). Nick also talks about getting on BET before 106 & Park, starting Nickelodeon's record label, why Wild 'N Out is still a youth brand after 20 years, opening for Dave Chappelle ("the Miles Davis of comedy"), his "frenemy" Kevin Hart (who has agreed to take the kids, "just not the women"), why he loves Shane Gillis, Don Rickles, Josh Johnson and Dan Soder, and the SiriusXM Raw Dog shake-up that has working comics furious.
Then a round of On Par or Off the Rails: the six-moms group chat, baby No. 13 named Kevin, Ken Jeong, and the celebrities who couldn't take Wild 'N Out. Stay to the end. Maury has one more envelope.

One of the Original Kings of Comedy sits down with Maury, and nothing is off limits. 
D.L. Hughley came out of South Central L.A. almost 40 years ago, joined the Bloods as a teenager, got on stage for the first time because a barbershop owner dared him, and never missed a night again. In a 1-on-1 with Maury Povich he talks about his new memoir 'Charlie's Boy', the stepfather who raised him and never said much, the funeral where he learned Charlie never actually worked a day at the airport, and the conversation he wishes he could have had.
Maury also brings up his old friend Don Lemon, now D.L.'s tour partner. D.L. says he couldn't stand Don at CNN, didn't start liking him until he got fired, and still insists Don "swears he didn't go to jail" after his arrest. Should Don Lemon run for president? D.L. has an answer. Plus Josh Johnson, Don Rickles, George Carlin, the night Eddie Murphy walked in behind him, In Living Color, and a round of On Par or Off the Rails that covers George Lopez's short game, AI joke thieves and Johnnie Walker with Diet Coke.

You asked for Stavros Halkias. Maury listened.
Stavvy rides a Citi Bike to the studio for a 1-on-1 with Maury Povich and holds nothing back: growing up in Baltimore's Greektown, playing nose tackle for Poly, faking his college graduation (and lying to his mom about it for years), and why he quit stand-up for two years out of immigrant-family guilt.
He talks about his friendship with Shane Gillis, explains how Tires really got made, and tells the origin story of Cum Town, from a dive bar in Baltimore to the fans who clipped it into a cult hit, plus why he was the first to leave. Stavros also talks about his new Netflix special Uncle Stav, acting with Jesse Plemons and Emma Stone in Bugonia, the Raw Dog SiriusXM controversy, Lamar Jackson and the Ravens, quitting weed, a year and a half on a GLP-1, and the 300-pound naked scale moment from Stav Gets Ripped.
Then Maury puts him to the test: Stavros gives advice on real Maury Show episode titles, finds out there's a weed strain named after Connie Chung, and answers the big question. Has he ever worried about ending up on a "You are NOT the father" episode?
