In what sense is Dr Phil a Doctor? In much the same sense that Katie and Molly are bachelors. We cover the Texas beef trials that led him to Oprah, and the showbiz knack that led him to a celebrity endorsement of Type 2 diabetes medication. We'll also try to make him take responsibility for creating "Bhad Bhabie" (the cash me ousside girl and Billboard award-nominated rapper) and some of the worst acronyms known to man — you won't believe what "BAITER" stands for.
