“It’s been an honor and a privilege to work with Maury and our amazing creative staff for the past 18 years,” said Paul Faulhaber, ‘Maury’ Executive Producer. “They put their hearts and souls into producing this show every day and each one of them should be extremely proud of this impressive milestone.”

Starting tomorrow, April 28th, “Maury” will roll out the “Top 30 of 3,000,” a retrospect to be featured at the conclusion of every new episode in the month of May. The “Top 30 of 3,000” will relive the show’s most talked about moments and wildest guests. “Maury” will also track down DNA babies from paternity shows of the past 15 years and viewers will see how their lives as well as the lives of their parents have turned out since their DNA reveal.

Some of the fascinating “Maury” guests that are set to be highlighted in the “Top 30 of 3,000,” will be:

• From 2001, Marisol had a whopping 17 DNA tests with her 6 different children.
• In 2003, Todd came up with a really bad excuse for cheating on his wife and was the first (and last) guest to make Maury laugh uncontrollably throughout the segment.
• In 2005, Maury met Andrew, who originated the “Not The Father” dance, which has since gained viral popularity.
• From 2009, Alycia thought her boyfriend; Paul was cheating with her best friend Domonique because she cooked chicken tetrazzini for Paul. YouTube fans made it the first Maury viral video parody called, “Chicken Tetrazini Remix.”

Each Facebook visitor will get an idea of what it’s like to be live on stage with Maury during one of his signature segments, delivering paternity and polygraph test results.
