Dr. Phil McGraw has galvanized millions of people to "get real" about their own behavior and create more positive lives. "Dr. Phil," his syndicated, daily one-hour series, is the second highest rated daytime talk show in the nation. The show has been making headlines and breaking records since its September 2002 launch, when it garnered the highest ratings of any new syndicated show since the launch of "The Oprah Winfrey Show" 16 years prior.
Now entering the sixth season of his namesake series, Dr. Phil’s success stems from his “get real” approach to helping his guests solve their problems, stripping through their emotional clutter, getting down to the bare bones of their issues and giving them the challenge they need to move ahead. Dr. Phil champions those who suffer from such silent epidemics as domestic violence, child abuse, depression, racism, substance abuse and other health issues that are prevalent in society, but go largely undiscussed by their victims.
An avid tennis player, golfer and scuba diver, Dr. Phil lives in Los Angeles with Robin. The couple have been married for 30 years and have two sons: Jordan, their younger son, and Jay who married in August 2006.
