[ 85 ] Later that evening, Savage devoted his entire three-hour program to the subject, taking calls from parents who took issue with his comments.

He appeared on Larry King Live with Glenn Beck as the substitute host for Larry King , and said that the real issue he was commenting on was the overdiagnosis of children due to pharmaceutical companies' drive to drug children for higher profits.
