Remembering Dr. Phil’s Most Memorable Guests as his Show Ends

It's the end of an era. Dr. Phil's talk show is coming to an end this week after 19 years on air. Millions of viewers have tuned in to watch Dr. Phil offer advice, give tough love, and deliver reality checks to his guests (with a really great accent might I add). Throughout the show's run, he's tackled topics ranging from addiction and mental health to family dynamics and celebrity scandals. But what really made Dr. Phil's show special were the guests who came on and bared their souls for the world to see. In honor of his final week, let's take a look back at some of his most memorable guests.

One of the most if not THE most viral moments from Dr. Phil's show came from a 13-year-old girl named Danielle Bregoli, who became known as the "Cash Me Outside" girl. Her episode aired in 2016 and featured her mom desperate for help with her daughter’s behavior. Danielle's antics on the show spawned a meme and endless GIFs, but she's since turned her life around and is now a "successful rapper" under the name Bhad Bhabie.

in 2016, Hayle a 19-year-old girl lied about many things including donating a kidney to her brother, her being 9 months pregnant with a baby she named Jesus, and Eminem being her dad. Despite multiple Drs saying there was so sign of her being pregnant, her brother never needing a kidney, and her mother and sister trying to tell her who her real dad is she still insisted.

In 2009, Dr. Phil interviewed Nadya Suleman, a woman who had given birth to octuplets despite already having six children. Suleman's decision to have so many children through IVF sparked a media frenzy, and many criticized her for taking on more than she could handle. Dr. Phil's interview with Suleman was tense at times, with the audience members audibly gasping at some of her answers. Suleman has since had a tumultuous life, but her appearance on Dr. Phil remains a classic episode.

In 2012, Zachery Davis was on Dr. Phil they sat down together after he killed his mom and right before his murder trial. He was later convicted of murder after admitting it and was sentenced to life. He said that voices in his head told him to do it. Dr. Phil wanted to find out if he was mentally ill or just a monster.

In 2016 a girl named Niki was brought to the Dr. Phil Show by her mom and sister because she was 8 months pregnant and using heroin. She went from a beautiful, privileged life to living in a van and sleeping around to get money for heroin for her and her boyfriend. Dr. Phil ended up getting her help and the last we know she was 13 months clean.

Dr. Phil's talk show may be coming to an end, but the impact he's had on pop culture is undeniable. From the catchphrases, to the infamous guests, Dr. Phil has provided audiences with shock, laughter, and tears over the years. While some guests may have been controversial or even polarizing, they certainly made for great memes and memories. Farewell, Dr. Phil!

We all have our favorite songs from our favorite artists. We wait for their new albums to drop and savor every track. But have you ever found yourself singing along to a song from an artist you don't really know and wondered, "Hmm, where did that song come from?" Chances are you heard it in a movie or a tv show. Some songs are only made popular because they were featured on the big screen and it makes you wonder if it would be as big if it hadn't been featured.

Let's start with the British singer Paolo Nutini. You may not know him but you probably do know his song  "Iron Sky" gained popularity after it was featured in the 2013 movie "The Great Gatsby"? The song is a super soulful, powerful track. If you haven't seen the movie it's worth a watch and the song is worth a listen.

What about Sia? You know her and her music she's got hits like "Chandelier" and "Cheap Thrills," but her song "Breathe Me" gained popularity after it was used in the final scene of the TV show "Six Feet Under." The haunting lyrics underscored the emotionally charged finale and made it that much more impactful.

Some songs are popular and chart-topping on their release but then get popular again when they are featured years later. "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" by the iconic Eurythmics. It's such a great song and was when it came out in 1983 but regained popularity when it was featured in the 2004 movie "Eurotrip".

These are just a few examples of hidden gems that gained popularity from movies and TV shows. Sometimes it takes a little exposure to the right media to make a great song a hit. Let's dive into the songs that were made popular by TV and movies.

It has been exactly [3] shows since someone on Aimee+Shawn called out sick. Yes, on Tuesday it was Aimee's turn to be unable to do the show when her voice disappeared on her. But a weak voice didn't stop the show! Aimee powered through!

Last week, Shawn talked about the smell of rotten eggs that had taken over his laundry room. At first he thought it was his dad breaking wind... but over the weekend the smell came back. The family evacuated the house, the fire department arrived. Did they escape in the nick of time?

Aimee got a call from her gyno, welcoming her to come in early and fill a last minute cancellation. Aimee explains why that offer will never, ever be accepted by her. She needs time to "get ready".

Shawn took his son out for an awesome hike at Red Rock Canyon. Colin had some wise words on the hike that were beyond his years. Meanwhile, Shawn had some swear words for what they encountered along the way.

Our afternoon host Sammi filled in for Aimee for a day and we got an update on her Raiderettes aspirations. There's only one problem though: her beauty regiment. She's playing Russian Roulette with her hair and nails in the pursuit of savings...

The City Of Las Vegas is fining the owners of the "Vegas Vic" sign for not having him lit up. Shawn defends Vic who has had an absolutely terrible string of years lately.

Aimee's houseguest decided to buy a bidet for his visit. The bidet ended up viciously attacking Aimee's son. Who brings a bidet for a stay?! Really?!

All next week on Aimee+Shawn, tickets to see Capital Cities at House Of Blues on May 11th! Plus, the 102.7 VGS $1000 Stimmy Check keywords continue! Every morning at 5am, 7am and 9am (along with Noon and 2pm after the show). Get your shot at a grand!

There has been a lingering smell of rotten eggs in Shawn's laundry room that can no longer be blamed on his dad's upset stomach. Was his home close to blowing up over the weekend?

Getting your nether region investigated is tough enough... but Aimee has some very stiff rules when it comes to getting her downstairs checked.

It was supposed to be a sweet day out with his son... and it was! But... there were a few seconds where Shawn thought he and his son were goners.

Sammi has a problem saying "no". She always wants to be the people pleaser and we unpack why, while getting an update on her aspirations to be a Raiderette.

Speaking of Sammi's NFL cheerleader aspirations, it's going head to head with her frugality. She hates paying a lot for her beauty routine. Hair, nails, she's going to the cheapest places imaginable... and it turns into Russian Roulette with her looks.

On the Red Rock Canyon hike over the weekend, Shawn's son Colin had such a great line that Shawn had to share it. Colin is like a little, tough ass Buddha.

He's an icon of Fremont Street. But things have been pretty rough on Vegas Vic as of late, and Shawn feels the need to come to his defense.

It's a bitter pill to swallow. No matter what she does, it seems like her oldest son Jayden is almost embarrassed by her at times, meanwhile his dad can do no wrong. She's low-key bitter about it.

Aimee and her husband are welcoming a friend into the house for a few days. He's known for being a little "extra" but this is WAY extra than usual.

Shawn is sick and tired of employees "playing dumb" when it comes to the "tip screen" at the point of sale, and it needs to stop!

Aimee and Shawn are real heroes. They've gone out of their way to try to save animals in their days... whether the animals liked it or not.

For some reason, Aimee has noticed that younger teens who don't have their license yet are taking pictures at gas stations, pretending they are pumping gas or that they own a car. Sure, it's stupid, but we were stupid too.

Kanye. Shia. Jada. Is there a planet we can blast them off to?

Why are all the nursery rhymes from our childhood pretty dark?!

Aimee tried and failed to get a "pay it forward" streak in the drive thru line. It didn't work out so well. Shawn explains why the drive thru "pay for the person behind you" line is really not beneficial for anyone.

Diamonds are a girl's best friend... but is it a deal breaker if he goes for something a little more economical? Be honest.

We can all agree on one thing... moving is awful.

Hey remember the bidet that Aimee's houseguest bought? Well, it got little Roman in the face.
