Why Is Dr. Phil So Popular?

Dr. Phil needs no introduction. He is the man who reminds you to "get real". He is a psychologist and has his own television show that is called Dr. Phil. This show has the second highest TRP ratings. And is one of the best day time talk shows.
In the year 1995 Dr. Phil McGraw gained his popularity once he was hired by Oprah Winfrey and then launched in the Oprah Winfrey Show. He immediately connected with the audience and was the man with all the answers. He is a man who tells people on their face to stop beating around the bush, making excuses and just accept they are at fault.
Now having his own show called Dr. Phil, he does makes headlines very often and also is the proud author of several self help books.
