Dr. Phil McGraw, who rose to fame appearing on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” and eventually launched his own TV program, is opening up to "The Insider" about the news that Lady O is ending her show in 2011.

"This is a very nostalgic moment for me. Oprah Winfrey is first and foremost one of my dearest friends and obviously the person who taught me everything I know about television," Dr. Phil tells us.

“Her show was home for me for five of the most exciting years of my life. ‘The Oprah Winfrey Show’ is the gold standard and I know that she will succeed at whatever she chooses to do next.”

  • Your next to go buddy! Your show is soooo boring sometimes and your voice is soooo annoying! That "Dr Phil" family is disgusting to watch! Stop bringing them on. WE DONT CARE!!! Who is it you think they are helping by making us watch them? If you ask me they ARE the typical family in America. We certainly arent "The real Housewives of wherever"!!

  • Yes hers is the gold standard and Dr. Phil is the opposite in which they due background checek on the guest then use any history of abuse and mental issues to ambush guest who dont agree with his point of view
