*Dr. Phil is about to do for Bishop T.D. Jakes what Oprah Winfrey did for him in 2002.

      According to the Hollywood Reporter, a talk show is being developed by CBS Television Distribution and Dr. Phil and Jay McGraw's Stage 29 shingle to be hosted by Bishop Jakes, who heads the nondenominational church Potter's House and has made several appearances on the CBS-distributed "Dr. Phil."

      After McGraw's success with his regular segments on "The Oprah Winfrey Show," her company Harpo backed his own show and served as producer for "Dr. Phil," which debuted on September 16, 2002.

       Jakes, whose sermons can be seen on TV via Trinity Broadcasting, has written several books, including "Woman, Thou Art Loosed! Healing the Wounds of the Past."
