The show's regular host from 1986 to 1990 was the former radio reporter Maury Povich. He was replaced by Maureen O'Boyle from 1990 to 1994. Jim Ryan served as the interim host in the summer of 1994. Penny Daniels served as the main host from the autumn of 1994 to early 1995, and Jon Scot was the main host from late 1995 to 1996.
