Maury Povich & Connie Chung – $80 Million

After earning his degree in TV journalism at University in Pennsylvania in 1962, Maury Povich immediately found work as a reporter in the WWDC radio station. Along the way, he received widespread recognition for co-hosting the station’s talk show, Panorama. Since then, he has worked on other programs like Maury, A Current Affair, and Weekends with Maury and Connie, which he hosted with his wife, Connie Chung.

Like Maury, Connie Chung is a journalist and reporter, having graduated with a major in journalism at the University of Maryland, College Park. Throughout her career, she has worked for news networks like NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, and MSNBC. With that said, Chung also gained recognition for interviewing many of the industry’s high-profile figures, including the former basketball player Magic Johnson. To this day, she is often known for following an interview-style that is relatively softer than her peers, though she also knows how to give perfectly-timed, quick, and to-the-point questions.
