You can't keep Maury Povich away from a paternity test.

The retired talk show host recently announced the paternity of baby orangutan Siska.

The paternity of the four-month-old has been in question at the Denver Zoo. Either 30-year-old Berani or 16-year-old Jaya were the father of this sweet baby.

So, the workers at the zoo went to the best man for the job to figure out the mystery.

After conducting the test, the results were sent to Povich, who delivered the results just before he picked up his Lifetime Achievement Award at the Daytime Emmys.

Dressed in a tux on a video call, the 84 opened up the envelope and said, "This is really important; when it comes to the orangutan — 4-month-old Siska — Berani …' you are the father!'"

To make the scene like his show, there was a side-by-side picture of Siska and Berani while the workers at the zoo cheered on.

Berani was seen swinging on the ropes after Povich's announcement.

People at the zoo were delighted that Povich agreed to indulge them on their request to have some fun with the situation.
