Chris Harrison Sets TV Return on Dr. Phil’s Network, Will Host New Morning Show and Reality Dating Series


The former host of "The Bachelor" will make his return on Dr. Phil's new network, Merit Street Media, set to launch on April 2.

The morning talk show, which is sharing a fall or winter debut, will be co-hosted by Harrison and his wife, Lauren Zima. He had a controversial exit from the franchise in 2021 after he made racially insensitive comments while defending Season 25 winner Rachael Kirkconnell. “Call it divine intervention, karma, kismet, whatever it is, the fact that Dr. Phil created this network in my own backyard here in Dallas, it means the world to me to, not only be returning to television, but to be doing it here in a hometown crowd,” Harrison told Entertainment Tonight of the new opportunity.
