you bullied that boy. one of the most recognizable faces on daytime television. nobody tells me who to put on my show, including you. is calling it quits. dr. phil, dr. phil! tonight, before dr. phil leaves the studio, he s sitting down with us. dr. phil, welcome. to talk about his 20 years as the on-call doc for on-camera drama. who do you get along with? just as the surgeon general releases a report on the harms of social media it is urgent that we take action. dr. phil digs into america s growing mental health crisis, especially among teenagers. young people started watching people live their lives instead of living their own lives. and later it s the tonight show with jay leno! comedian jay leno s road to recovery after surviving a garage fire and a motorcycle crash. i never thought of myself as a roast comic. who gives us the latest on his health. i got a new face and a new ear. can i see it? sure. and his return to the c
i m sleeping. let me show you the main bedroom in here. screaming. a woman goes, there s a naked man! sorry! putting my pants on as i sneak out the door. i didn t break anything or ruin anything. you were squatting? squatting, exactly. 1977, you are successful enough that you get your first gig on the tonight show with johnny carson, and here it is. oh, yeah. those big mobile homes people drive around? i do not understand why anybody would buy a mobile home. can you imagine saying to your wife, honey, i m going to take the house down, get a pack of cigarettes, why don t you wait here. as i understand it for comedians, the key was not to make the audience laugh, the key was to make johnny carson laugh. and take a look at this. because after your bit, johnny calls you over to shake hands. which he didn t do most of the time. right, right. so how big a deal it was? it was a huge deal.
he showed up. didn t have a publicist now adas explaining i was on xanax. he was honest about it. then in 2009 conan o brien replaces you doing the tonight show and nbc puts you on five nights a week at 10:00 p.m. which turns out to be a terrible idea. terrible idea. and within eight months, conan is out, you re back on the tonight show and you re the villain again. so what would you have us understand about that. to me it s like any athletic event the you got two teams or two boxers, you can still be friends and punch each other in the face but, you know, i let them just everybody attacked me and you re the villain. just all these so i let it go and play out and all the other talk show hosts had a great time with it. that s fine. that s a classic case of don t believe the good stuff or the bad stuff. when you were on the tonight

you have to really be way out at the end of that evil continuum. would you, if you were still in the jury consulting and trial strategy business, what would you have said to him about taking the stand? don t. don t take the stand. in terms of deception detection, which i ve spent a lot of my career studying and being involved with, you can t control all of the different tells when somebody is lying. and it s like playing whac-a-mole. you ve got blink rate, pupil dilation, body language, choices of words and things. and he was just screaming deception. from the first night he was talking to law enforcement, till he was on the witness stand.
