HLN just gave Dr. Drew Pinksky his own primetime show. There are no official details on the show other than Dr. Drew will be tackling a broad range of topics every night…so I assume that it’s going to be an adult version of Love Line meets the current Dr. Oz. His new show will debut sometime in Spring of 2011, and it’ll most likely fill the 10PM slot where Nancy Grace is replayed.

I’m excited about this! I really like Dr. Drew, and think he’s really great talent. I know a lot of people give him slack for all of his Celebrity Rehab shows, but he is doing his job–and he’s a television personality…so what else do you want from him? Plus, it doesn’t hurt that he’s a hunk!

Here’s to you Doc!

About

Although comedy is her profession, Nadine has accomplished a lot in her young age. She is a national champion black belt, a world-class soccer player, and an avid snowboarder. She started playing soccer at the age of 4, and continued playing through college where she majored in Biology, but quickly realized her destiny was to tell jokes, not to wear a lab coat. So she decided to be funny while finishing her Bachelors Degree in biology and continued on to get her M.B.A. Nadine’s comedy style is much like her athleticism, fearless. She’s made her way up the comedy ladder very quickly, and has become a club favorite at many of the country’s top comedy clubs, including the Improv chain. Performing in the Boston Comedy Festival and being noted as the “one of the youngest and brightest up and comers” and traveling to the Middle East to entertain the troops are just a few of her notable accomplishments. These days Nadine splits time between the stage, a radio studio, her computer blogging, and a television studio. Nadine’s TV, Radio, Writing credits include: national commercials, talking head roles on E! Entertainment, Showtime’s Hot Tamales Live, The Skinny: Fat Free News, The Sunny Side of The Truth: Real World Hollywood, TVgasm, Zazreport, Daddy’s Girls, Jerseylicious, celebrity interviews on Mania TV, a weekly half-hour television show that syndicates to colleges across the country for National Lampoon and a nightly radio show on XM Satellite Radio.

    It would help if he’d just admit he’s an entertainer and stop pretending to be only using his medical degree to reach the unwashed masses.

    @thiajok, AMEN

    His reputation also suffer’s when he talks to the media about a celebrity and their troubles under the guise that he is trying to “reach out” or “help” them. If they wanted his help he would be their Doc, and accordingly, he wouldn’t be able to talk about them. NOT being their Doc gives him much more leeway to promote himself on the backs of folks that are, essentially sick. He is scum.

    I know I’m dating myself here but way, way back in the day when he had the show on MTV with Adam Carola, Pinsky made my adolescent life a little harder with his bullshit ‘explanation’ of being gay.

    He attributed homosexuality to your brain being ‘fixated’ by your first sexual experience and thus something that it might be possible to ‘train away’.

    He’s stopped spouting that line since, of course, but man did it screw with me for a couple of years before I went to an actual therapist who debunked the idea for me.

    Pinsky did the same thing to me. I thought I could never know love with any other woman except Wonder Woman because of what he said about first, “fixative” experiences. I also thought an invisible jet had to be involved. Which even I knew probably wasn’t going to happen in real life. My first real life relationships were disasters.

    Damn him and his “pop psychology” to hell.

    Yes, I’m with Notwithoutmytv, except my first love object was a torn out centerfold from a 60s era Playboy that had been left out in the rain then got all moldy until everytime I touched it, it crumbled just a little bit more.

    Okay, Nads, are you convinced now? Look at the havoc Drew wreaked! Jeez, guys, I’m really sorry that the jackass fucked with the emotions of you guys–it’s seriously fucked up that he did that.

    Heh!

    I think we’ll survive. Except maybe Itchy. That kind of thing sounds like a recipe for a fatal combination of fungus and paper cut that ends in tears. And also gangrene.

    I might not survive. I used to get my panties seriously twisted whenever I was attacked over in the Real Housewives comments sections, but this Pinksky character went after my Id, for cryin’ out loud.

    Id? Is that what the kids are calling them these days?

    Look at it this way. He had to grow up with the name Pinsky. Imagine what his childhood must have been like.

    As for me, eventually, I stumbled across a whole stack of Playboys and Penthouses in relatively good condition. And all was once again right in the world.
