I always find it weird when people repost this acting as if Dr. Phil wouldn't have been in on the whole situation. It's not like the show was aired live, or that the guy wouldn't have had to been approved to go out on stage dressed like that by likely at least a dozen people, and Phil would definitely have been told in advance. So the guy was allowed to do it by Phil and the staff, and then the episode was edited and allowed to air, all for ratings.
could also be angry staffers like what happened to james cordon when he couldnt even name a camera man after being asked (or maybe that was live idk but his staffers wrote the question). maybe too many witnesses saw it and not airing it would look shit or the network demanded an episode
I need more details about this, please. Got anymore info/links/etc?
huh? abput james?
No, about the catastrophic effects of an Brazilian butterflies fluttering wings on the tornados in Texas. /s
His producer either 1. didnt care, 2. thought dr. Phil looked like the winner, or 3. hated dr. Phil.
Or 4. Loved ratings
Television is a big show. News too.
Need to get the fairness doctrine back in place and start forcibly putting some integrity back in TV journalism.
