In Reply To: The guy goes to quickie rehab, does dr. phil and now he's all better? Yeah, right.
Message: YOU NEED to count your money and go away. Saw Dr. Winfreygravytrain on Leno(flipping channels, Letterman in a break), solemnly explaining O'Brien's plight and attempted comeback. Like we're all consumed by O'Brien's future on The Affleck/Spears Report. O'Brien was once a Jim Nantz-level guy on CBS, right? Didn't he host NBA Finals studio shows and the like?? Had this happened then, I would be surprised. But the guy deals with J-Lo on a shopping spree, Desperate Housewives, and Whitney/Bobby on a daily basis. Any wonder? Can Dr. Phil stop looking like a guy who should be popping up from the cornfield during those quick cutaways on "Hee Haw," wearing overalls and a straw hat while chewing grass. Sam Drucker is great tv. Dr. Phil is no Sam Drucker.
