Maury Povich called out his wife Connie Chung over her fling with an A-list lothario.
Legendary daytime talk show host Povich made his grand return to the media in March with a new podcast.
Chung joined her husband's show, On Par with Maury Povich, for its debut episode to discuss her latest memoir, which details her life as a trailblazing television news anchor and the unbelievable stories that came with it.
The two recalled the beginning of their relationship while they were working in the broadcast news industry.
Povich told his viewers that when Chung moved to California to anchor the news, she became a 'big star' and 'kind of messed around with stars'.
'Oh! You didn't?' Chung fired back.
Povich burst out laughing and denied the accusation, but his wife speculated that he could 'name a few' celebrity women that he had been with during his early days as an on-air journalist.
'No, I didn't mess around with them. I knew them. You messed around with them. Okay, should I start talking?' he continued before revealing that his wife had a relationship with Hollywood icon Warren Beatty.
Povich then joked that his sister used to say that 'every woman who came to California had to go through him [Beatty]. It was the immigration system.'
Chung laughed and said that Beatty loved Povich's sister, Lynn, who was also a titan in the news industry, serving as Newsweek's first female senior editor. Chung added that she wasn't the only woman journalist that Beatty loved.
Povich continued to recollect on his wife's dating history, revealing that she also 'messed with an Eagle,' quickly clarifying that he was referring to a member of the band and not a player on the Philadelphia Eagles.
Chung confirmed the romance and admitted that when she met the band member, whose name she concealed, she didn't know he was a part of the iconic rock band.
She recalled that when she went to the musician's home, he told her that he played in a band. Chung then boldly asked him to play her one of his songs, and he promptly began playing 'Hotel California' on the piano.
Povich then clarified that his wife's escapades occurred when the two were merely dating and hadn't yet made their relationship exclusive.
His wife made sure to get a few jabs in herself, claiming that Povich, 'couldn't even remember the first names let alone the last names' of the women he was with as a young broadcast journalist.
The two went on to discuss their marriage, and Povich joked that Chung had been 'really sh***y' to him during the release of her memoir.
Chung released Connie: A Memoir last fall, which detailed her career as the first Asian woman to break into the broadcast news industry.

Chung was the first woman and Asian person to co-anchor the CBS Evening News. She famously interviewed former President Richard Nixon during the Watergate scandal.
Chung started her journalism career at CBS in 1971 in Washington DC and worked under Walter Cronkite. A few years later, she moved to Los Angeles to anchor local news.
Although Povich is most known for his infamous daytime talk show, The Maury Show, his career in journalism spanned multiple networks before he began announcing the results of paternity tests live on-air.
He worked as a local news anchor all over the country and served as an evening news anchor in Washington DC.
