CBSN
The longtime CBS daytime talk show "Dr. Phil" is coming to an end after more than two decades. In a statement, host Phil McGraw said that he wants to expand his audience in a new venture, as he has "grave concerns for the American family."
McGraw grew to national fame in the late 1990s with his featured segment on "The Oprah Winfrey Show." A few years later in 2002, his own talk show debuted. According to CBS Media Ventures, the show has maintained a top spot in its television genre for the 21 years it has aired and has been nominated for 31 Emmys. The show brings on families with members of all ages to tackle numerous issues, including addiction, health, behavioral issues, relationships and more.
Prior to his entertainment career, McGraw went to the University of North Texas, where he earned a doctoral degree in clinical psychology. He later participated in a post-doctoral fellowship in forensic psychology from the Wilmington Institute and was a licensed psychologist practicing clinical psychology in Texas until he moved to California to launch his show.

Hosted by the "Anonymous Society of Painters, Sculptors, and Engravers, etc.," it was founded in response to the Paris Salon, the annual, government-sponsored exhibition that would frequently reject the works of the rising artists.
