Dr. Phil
The perennial talk leader scored the largest increase of any syndicated strip in the session, skyrocketing 42% from the prior week to a new season-high 2.7 live plus same day household rating, according to Nielsen Media Research, the show's biggest number since the week of May 20, 2019. Among daytime's key demographic of women 25-54, Phil also led with a 1.1.
Disney's Live with Kelly and Ryan, which had enjoyed two straight weeks at the top, held steady at a 2.1 for second place.
Warner Bros.' Ellen DeGeneres, which, like Dr. Phil, returned to originals after two weeks of repeats, rebounded 25% from its season low to a third-place 2.0.

Disney's Tamron Hall, which, like Clarkson, has been renewed for year two, jumped 11% to a 1.0, matching its season high.
Further back among the new talkers, SPT's Mel Robbins rallied 25% to a new season-high 0.5 after Nexstar upgraded the show to 4 p.m. from 3 a.m. on KTLA Los Angeles.
CTD's Judge Jerry held its ground at a 1.0. In other rookie jurisdictions, Trifecta's Personal Injury Court and MGM's Protection Court both were unchanged at a 0.5 and 0.3, respectively.

Warner Bros.' TMZ tacked on 22% in households to a 1.1, while Warner Bros.' Extra improved 11% to a 1.0, matching its highest rating of the season and jumping 25% among women 25-54 to a 0.5.
CTD's DailyMailTV held steady at a 0.8. Trifecta's Celebrity Page posted a 0.2 for the 28th consecutive week.

Syndicated Jeopardy! added 18% to hit a 7.1 and lead all of syndication.
