Now you can scream "I am not the father!" in the comfort of your own home. Maury Povich, the famed TV host just announced that he is launching an at-home paternity test company accord to a TMZ report. The company is aptly named "The Results are In." Purchase of the kit will get you the materials needed, as well as instructions on how to take your own DNA sample. From there you can send it off to be analyzed and the results sent back to you. So you don't have to go on TV, or embarrassingly get doctors or anyone else involved. Simple and easy. TMZ reports that users can expect results in 2-3 days with a 99.9% accuracy rate.

You can't ask for more than that! If only we had the chance to witness the suspense and drama as it unfolds in homes across America! I guess the show will have to suffice. So are you or are you not the father? Maury is helping even more people find out with his at-home paternity test. In all honesty I'm shocked it took this long for him to do this. It makes perfect sense. Would you use this? Let us know!
