Maury Povich has received the Daytime Emmys Lifetime Achievement Honor from his wife, journalist Connie Chung. The 84-year-old talk show host was honored during the creative arts ceremony on Saturday in downtown Los Angeles. Povich ended his show that began in 1991 last year and retired. Among those paying tribute to Povich in videos were Whoopi Goldberg and Kelly Clarkson. Chung joked in her introduction that people think Povich “has been determining the paternity of every child in America all his life.” But she says he has been a news reporter and anchor and interviewed world leaders and politicians and entertainers, too.

Activision Blizzard has agreed to pay about $54 million to settle discrimination claims brought by California’s civil rights agency on behalf of women employed by the video game maker. The California Civil Rights Department announced Friday that the settlement resolves allegations that the maker of Call of Duty, Overwatch, World of Warcraft and other video games “discriminated against women at the company, including denying promotion opportunities and paying them less than men for doing substantially similar work." Allegations of workplace discrimination helped drag down Activision’s stock price in 2021. That paved the way for Microsoft to buy the company.
