Povich, famous for hosting a tabloid talk show where paternity test results were revealed, emerged as the perfect choice to solve the mystery.

The paternity of Siska, a four-month-old Sumatran orangutan, was uncertain, as it remained unclear whether her father was Berani, a 30-year-old orangutan, or Jaya, a 16-year-old orangutan, according to a statement released by the zoo.

On Monday, the Denver Zoo teased a special announcement to settle the paternity debate, stating, "The DNA results are in, and we're delighted to share that we now know who Siska's father is." The suspenseful reveal was set to be made by none other than Maury Povich himself, who donned a tuxedo and recorded a video of himself opening the envelope containing the results.

In classic Povich style, the reveal was accompanied by heightened drama. As he opened the envelope, Povich emphasized the significance of the moment, stating, "This is really important." The roaring anticipation reached its climax as Povich declared, "When it comes to the orangutan - 4-month-old Siska - Berani, You ARE the father." To add to the authenticity, the zoo even shared a split-screen of photos showcasing Berani and Jaya, as zoo staff cheered for the results, reminiscent of Povich's talk show audience.

Days prior to his involvement with the Denver Zoo, Povich received the Daytime Emmys Lifetime Achievement Honor, further solidifying his reputation as the go-to expert for unveiling paternity test results. In an interview on the Daytime Emmys red carpet, Povich reflected on his iconic catchphrases, stating, "They're gonna remember, 'you are the father, you are not the father.' That's what they're gonna remember."

At 84 years old, Povich's famous talk show, "Maury," concluded its 31-year run in 2022. Yet, his impact continues to be felt, as people still approach him on the street, requesting to hear his iconic line. Povich expressed his gratitude for the recognition, stating, "I've always been very generous with my time in public because I believe in that."

The revelation of Siska's paternity has brought excitement and closure to the Denver Zoo and its visitors. Thanks to Maury Povich's involvement, the mystery surrounding the baby orangutan's father has finally been solved, highlighting the unique and unexpected ways in which science and entertainment intersect in our lives.
