That’s it for Dr. Phil. He’s pulling the plug on himself after 21 seasons come this spring.
Phil McGraw has the number 1 talk show, or sometimes number 2 as it battles with Live with Kelly and Ryan. But his average audience is around 1.5 million people a day.
Dr. Phil is 72 and has a net worth of $460 million according to reports. So why not hang it up?
McGraw says in a statement:
I have been blessed with over 25 wonderful years in daytime television. 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.
