Maury Povich recounts the wild, surreal moment he was parodied by Jim Carrey on In Living Color in 1992—just as his show was rising—and how the sketch, inspired by his and Connie Chung’s real-life fertility journey, turned their deeply personal story into viral comedy. The sketch, “We Want Maury,” had Carrey’s Maury being serenaded by Steve Park’s Connie singing a twisted “Me So Horny” parody. Povich, who often finds out about these parodies through social media or friends, admits he’s oddly flattered by the recognition. He’s been spoofed multiple times over the years, including on SNL and Jimmy Kimmel Live, but remains unfazed. The episode ends with the touching note that adopting their son Matthew Jay in 1995 was the best decision they ever made.
