Dr. Phil McGraw, 72, announced today that the 21st season of The Dr. Phil Show will be his last.
“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.”
Instead of hosting his own show, he is looking into producing more primetime series. He helped to create Bull and So Help Me Todd.
And with his departure, television became a much better place.
