Dr. Phil on Bruce Jenner's transition:
'He's kind of past [his] prime'




Ahead of Diane Sawyer’s interview with Bruce Jenner regarding the former Olympian’s alleged gender transition, Jimmy Kimmel was curious what would happen if someone else had been tapped for the job. So on Wednesday’s Jimmy Kimmel Live, the late night host asked Dr. Phil if he was disappointed that Jenner didn’t choose him to conduct the interview.

“I would just say ‘Look, if it’s what you want to do, do it,’” Phil said. “What the hell does it matter what anybody else thinks?”

In addition to thinking the interview wouldn’t last long, Phil also believes Jenner may be “kind of past prime” to make the transition. “You’re almost 80—what’s the point?” Phil said of the gold medalist. (Jenner is actually 65.)

4. A friend of mine is 66 and started transitioning last year.

No, it's not the ideal time to transition in a lot of ways: she's likely never going to "pass". Her romantic prospects aren't great. She's got sixty years of odd ideas about women that aren't always squaring up with the reality of experience. People aren't always supportive.

But she's finally herself, and she's as happy as I've ever seen her.

I helped her find affordable care and took her to her first appointment. One of the proudest moments of my life.

5. It's never too late to be your true, authentic self...

I wish Jenner nothing but happiness and the support of those who surround her.

7. Exactly.

9. I transitioned at 22, but a friend of mine transitioned in her 40s and passes just fine

6. Will someone tell Phil that he passed his prime before his first birthday?

What an obnoxious uninformed moron, why does anyone ask this guy his opinion on anything?

Thanks, Oprah.

8. People listen to this moron, why?

I'll leave the "past prime" irony to itself, Phil. LOL.

10. Gotta love Dr. Phil's math ability

Bruce Jenner is approximately 10 months older than Dr. Phil.....so I guess that makes the good (insert gagging on a hairball noise here) doctor "almost 79". What's the point of your advice Phil?

11. Oaf = Dr. Phil.

[Kalidurga]

12. Help!!!! I can't concentrate on this article

all the quacking is driving me bonkers.

[Starry Messenger]

15. Horrible.

[Initech]

16. Who gives a shit what Dr. Phil thinks?

[romanic]

17. The Jenner/Kardashian clan

may crave attention but I think in this case, Bruce is being legit. Dr. Phil should look in the mirror if he wants to talk about "past his prime".

[LostOne4Ever]

20. Look Dr. Phil we know your past your prime, so can we plz get back to talking about Ms. Jenner? (nt)

21. "You're almost 80" . . .

. . . says the 64-year-old Dr. Phil of the 65-year-old Jenner.
