The Resume

    (circa 1961- )
    Born in Marblehead, Massachusetts
    Host of ‘Dr. Keith’ (2006-2007)
    Author of the Frank Clevenger mystery-thriller series, featuring ‘Denial (1997),’ ‘Projection (1999),’ ‘Compulsion (2002),’ ‘Psychopath (2003),’ ‘Murder Suicide (2004)’ and ‘The Architect (2005)’

Why he might be annoying:

    Some early ‘Dr. Keith’ shows were not so much about viewer issues as about big ratings (for example, the JonBenet Ramsey murder case). It backfired.
    He is a frequent guest of Oprah Winfrey.
    His website trumpets him as ‘the most well-known psychiatrist today’ and ‘one of the leading healing voices in America’ (modesty, indeed).
    Not at all surprisingly, he drew frequent comparisons to Dr. Phil.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He admits to being routinely bullied in school.
    One friend ended up with cancer as a teenager; the murder of another inspired him to write a novel about the killer’s life (‘Without Mercy,’ 1990).
    He went to the medical division of Johns Hopkins University.
    He is a frequent contributor to Good Housekeeping magazine.
    Following the cancellation of ‘Dr. Keith,’ he appeared frequently on 'The Howard Stern Show.'
