The Oprah Effect: 5 Superstar Careers that Benefitted from Queen Oprah’s Touch

Dr. Phil

Oprah extended an invitation to Dr. Phil in 1998 to appear on her hit talk show. Phil accepted and came on to offer his life advice to Oprah guests and viewers. The psychologist became a regular and like many of Winfrey’s other friends, he benefited from the support of her unwavering fans. Dr. Phil launched his own daytime talk show, Dr. Phil, in 2002 and has been nominated for 27 Emmys.
