Drew Pinsky (born September 4, 1958 as David Drew Pinsky) is a board-certified physician and addiction medicine specialist, best known as co-host of the nationally syndicated radio talk show Loveline. On Loveline "Dr. Drew", as he is exclusively called, dispenses sound advice on a wide array of important issues related mostly to teenagers and young adults. Dr. Drew's partner, Adam Carolla provides the humor with his comical analogies, often poking fun at the straight-laced Drew.
In addition to his radio show and medical career, Pinsky also has become quite popular on television talk shows, where his medical expertise and relationship counseling abilities are highly valued. In 2003, he released a book called Cracked, recounting his experiences running the drug-addiction rehab clinic at Las Encinas Hospital in Pasadena, CA.
Dr. Drew also serves as a guest-speaker at college and university campuses throughout the United States.
Dr. Pinsky made his acting debut in 2004, playing the father of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen in New York Minute.
