Dr. Phil McGraw‘s talk show is coming to an end. After more than two decades as one of the most popular talk show hosts on television, Dr. Phil is choosing to exit daytime for new ventures. The syndicated daytime show “Dr. Phil” will air original episodes through the current 2022-2023 television season.
“I have been blessed with over 25 wonderful years in daytime television,” said Dr. Phil McGraw, who began his TV career on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” in the late ’90s. “With this show, we have helped thousands of guests and millions of viewers through everything from addiction and marriage to mental wellness and raising children. This has been an incredible chapter of my life and career, but while I’m moving on from daytime, there is so much more I wish to do.”
In the immediate future, McGraw will focus on prime-time programming and plans to announce a strategic prime-time partnership, scheduled for an early 2024 launch, which will expand his reach and increase his impact on television and viewers.
CBS Media Ventures will offer stations library episodes of “Dr. Phil” for the 2023-2024 season and beyond. The classic library episodes will include new content such as wraparounds and intros by McGraw, as well as guest updates.
