After more than 21 years, the Dr. Phil Show is coming to an end.
“I have been blessed with over 25 wonderful years in daytime television,” he told Variety.
“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.”
According to the outlet, Distributor CBS Media Ventures hopes to keep the syndicated “Dr. Phil” on the air via repeats through at least the 2023-24 season.
“Phil is a valued partner and member of the CBS/King World family, and while his show may be ending after 21 years, I’m happy to say our relationship is not,” said Steve LoCascio, president of CBS Media Ventures. “Phil changed the daytime landscape as the force behind one of the most popular talk shows ever on daytime TV. We plan to be in the ‘Dr. Phil’ business with the library for years to come and welcome opportunities to work together in the future.”
