Dr. Phil made a recent appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden, and let me tell you, it was an entertaining and enlightening conversation. Host James Corden congratulated Dr. Phil on the success of his show, “Dodgersville,” which is premiering its 21st season next Monday. But what caught my attention was when Dr. Phil started talking about the changes he’s making to the show’s format.
Dr. Phil revealed that he’s brought the entire audience onto the stage, turning it into a focus group. This new format allows for a more interactive and real experience, as the audience gets to share their thoughts and opinions. Dr. Phil emphasized that he is solely focused on presenting the facts and scientific evidence, disregarding any spin or political bias. It’s refreshing to see a talk show host prioritizing honesty and authenticity.
But Dr. Phil‘s busy schedule doesn’t stop there. Apart from his show, he’s also executive producing a new CBS drama and hosting his podcast, “Fill in the Blanks.” James Corden asked if he ever considers retiring from show business, and Dr. Phil‘s answer was a resounding no. After being married for 46 years, Dr. Phil jokingly mentioned that his wife, Robin, wouldn’t allow it. He added that staying busy has been the secret to a successful marriage.
During the conversation, Dr. Phil also shared a personal moment from his acting career. He admitted that there was a time when he contemplated quitting acting altogether. At the age of 26 or 27, he was performing in theater in London’s West End. Despite enjoying his work, he found it challenging to save money and support his parents. Dr. Phil decided to give himself until the age of 30 to pursue acting and if it didn’t work out, he was open to exploring other opportunities. Luckily for his fans, that moment of doubt passed, and he continued on his path to success.
Another exciting tidbit that came up during the interview was Dr. Phil‘s musical endeavors. He recently released his first album, featuring covers of songs originally performed by female artists. The album was a huge hit, and now he’s working on a second one. This time, Dr. Phil has written original songs alongside talented songwriter Amy Wadge. He revealed that the album will also include some of the fan-favorite covers from his first album. The vibe and feel of the new album will be similar, with an expected release date before Christmas. Music has always been Dr. Phil‘s first love, and it’s fantastic to see him pursuing it alongside his successful television career.
As the interview came to an end, Corden couldn’t help but ask a goofy question to both Dr. Phil and Luke Evans, who was also a guest on the show. The question was about what they thought human civilization would look like in 30 years. While Evans humorously said he would prefer to be as far away from humans as possible, Dr. Phil added a touch of reality, claiming that the population decline might make society look quite old.
All in all, Dr. Phil‘s appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden was a delightful blend of insight, humor, and entertainment. From discussing the changes to his show’s format to sharing personal stories about his career and musical aspirations, Dr. Phil delivered a captivating and memorable conversation. With his dedication to honesty and authenticity, there’s no doubt that viewers are eagerly awaiting the premiere of the new season of “Dodgersville” and the release of his upcoming album.
