Why I cant write about my Dr. Phil appearance | Columnists

On Monday, Aug. 24, I was a guest on the Dr. Phil show. The show was about racism and will be airing sometime in the near future, but I’m not allowed to talk about it. The show makes guests sign a release that contains the line, “I will not write a book, magazine article, or newspaper article (including internet articles) or publish or submit for publication any writing relating to behind-the-scenes of the Series, about my experience on the Series, real or fictional without first obtaining Producer’s written consent”.  

I requested that consent and received the following rather peculiar response: “Hi Jim, We are just getting clarification on your question and the upcoming air date. As soon as I have answers to both, I’ll inform you. Thank you!”
