Laura Schlessinger, Ph.D. (born January 16, 1947) is the popular and controversial American host of the
Dr. Laura radio call-in show. It runs three hours a day on weekdays.
Schlessinger had characterized her show as a "moral health program" rather than as an "advice program". Her responses to callers usually display a trademark frankness that some people find harsh and others find refreshing. She gets to the core of a caller's issue quickly rather than let them talk for a long time. Her advice has been widely sought and the show is tied for fourth highest-rated talk radio show in the United States. At its peak, it was the second highest-rated radio show after
Rush Limbaugh.
Schlessinger is a outspoken critic of sex outside of marriage, working moms, marrying quickly or at a young age, childless marriage, abortion, easy or no-fault divorce, and gay rights. Her radio program often features short editorial monologues on these and other social and political topics. A short-lived Dr. Laura television show was not successful and was quickly cancelled.
She has also authored numerous self-help books, including the best-selling
Ten Stupid Things Women Do to Mess Up Their Lives, and several religious books. Her most recent book, The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands has been her most successful.
