Information on the cameo
Dr. Phillip Calvin "Phil" McGraw, M.D., better known simply as Dr. Phil, was born on September 1st, 1950, in Vinita, Oklahoma. He is an American television personality, author, psychologist, and talk show host.
Dr. Phil first gained celebrity status with his appearances on The Oprah Winfrey Show in the late 1990s, after he helped Oprah Winfrey win a lawsuit. She was so impressed that she invited him to be a regular on her show. His no-nonsense approach to counseling troubled guests on Oprah parleyed into his own talk show program, Dr. Phil, in 2002. To this day, his program remains a staple of American midday talk lineups.
While successful, Dr. Phil's approach to psychology has drawn some criticism; his methods and advice labeled simplistic and ineffective. He has countered this with stating he "never liked one-on-one counseling".
Appearance in the rap battle
Dr. Phil enters during Ellen DeGeneres' first verse. After DeGeneres' line, "I got the skill to make Doctor Phil say," he appears to tell his colleague, Oprah Winfrey, "I think you better just leave her alone."
