Dr. Phil made a cameo appearance in Oprah Winfrey vs Ellen DeGeneres. He was portrayed by EpicLLOYD and voiced by Nice Peter

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 parlayed into his own talk show program, Dr. Phil, in 2002. Until its closure in 2023, his program was a staple of American midday talk lineups. Dr. Phil was also the co-writer for the legal drama Bull, which aired from 2016 to 2022 and was based on his life as a jury analyst prior to fame.

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."

Trivia

    • It was originally intended to be the 30th episode of Epic Rap Battles of History, but this eventually became Nikola Tesla vs Thomas Edison.
    • This battle was also planned at an undisclosed point in the first half of Season 4, but was once again scrapped.
    • This makes him the first confirmed scrapped character to return as a cameo afterwards.
    • Ultimately, Freud would end up battling Mother Teresa.
  • He is the fourth speaking cameo to fill in a rhyme, after the DalekJimmy Olsen, and Janine Melnitz.
  • He is the second cameo to have two different people acting and speaking for them, after Jimmy Olsen.
