Daytime TV has its share of stars, and now TheWrap has ranked them by early September ratings for the 2016-17 TV seasons.

Then, dropping way down the daytime TV list, we have “Dr. Phil,” with 3.7 million total viewers.

Here are some other daytime TV star results from our ranking:

Kelly Ripa

Ellen DeGeneres

Maury Povich

Harvey Levin

Wendy Williams

And then we have people like Jerry Springer and way on down the list, Judge Faith.

Here’s some news about Ripa’s first week, while we are talking daytime TV:

Welcome back, Kelly Ripa — we’ve got some good news and some bad news.

Let’s start with the positive stuff, shall we? After all, you seem like a bubbly person. “Live With Kelly” jumped 9 percent on average across its Season 29 premiere week, despite a lack of stability in the co-host chair, and even with Labor Day slowing things down a bit.

Of course, that increase was just over the prior week, when you were in reruns. Versus the Season 28 premiere and sans Michael Strahan, you actually slipped 7 percent year over year. There’s the womp-womp.
