Adam Ray’s Dr. Phil is officially crashing Netflix

Adam Ray is about to blow up your Netflix queue with a comedy special unlike anything you’ve seen before — because this time, the fake Dr. Phil is sitting down with the real Dr. Phil.

Dropping November 19, Adam Ray’s Dr. Phil Comedy Special (working title) brings Ray’s wild, unhinged take on America’s favorite mustachioed life coach to the global stage. What started as a chaotic, can’t-miss live show at The Comedy Store in L.A. has now grown into a full-on comedy universe. Alongside surprise guests like Patton Oswalt, Jay Pharoah, and even Gollum (yes, that Gollum), Ray’s Dr. Phil will take the audience on a ride through absurd interviews, games, and crowd work that only Adam could dream up.

This isn’t just comedy — it’s a full-contact character study wrapped in complete lunacy.

Ray has been building his Dr. Phil empire for years, taking the show from a cult favorite live act in Hollywood to sold-out venues across the country, and soon, the world. Before the Netflix special lands, you can catch him bringing the madness to the New York Comedy Festival on November 15, headlining the iconic Beacon Theatre.

If you’ve been sleeping on Ray’s version of Dr. Phil, here’s the quick recap: he’s grilled comedy heavyweights like Bill Burr, Whitney Cummings, Kumail Nanjiani, and Bert Kreischer, crashed podcasts, stormed the Kia Forum during Kill Tony, and somehow managed to stay in character through all of it.

But Adam Ray isn’t just Dr. Phil — he’s a comedy shapeshifter. You’ve seen him pop up as Vince McMahon in NBC’s Young Rock, Jay Leno in Hulu’s Pam & Tommy, and in scene-stealing roles in Hacks, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Arrested Development, and about a dozen more places you didn’t even realize.

Oh — and if you haven’t checked out his latest stand-up special Like and Subscribe, which dropped on YouTube and VOD in June 2024, consider this your official invite.

At Matter Collective, we live for creators who blow up the format — and Adam Ray is building something totally his own. Whether he’s Dr. Phil, Jay Leno, or just his chaotic self, the man knows how to keep comedy dangerous, weird, and wildly fun.

Mark your calendars. November 19. Dr. Phil meets Dr. Phil. It’s gonna get messy.
