Weekends with Maury and Connie was an MSNBC television news series featuring light-hearted take on news of the week.
It was hosted by talk show host Maury Povich and his wife, television news anchor Connie Chung. Beginning in early 2006, it appeared every weekend morning on MSNBC until Dan Abrams was appointed the new general manager of MSNBC. Due to the show's low ratings, near the bottom of the charts, Abrams canceled the show. The last broadcast aired June 17, 2006.[1]
On the final episode, Chung, dressed in an evening gown and white gloves, sat atop a piano and sang a parody to the tune of the song "Thanks for the Memory".[2] Video clips of the bizarre, off-key farewell performance circulated on internet video sites like YouTube, and have been seen by more people than viewed Weekends with Maury and Connie during its run.
