"Daily Affirmation With Stuart Smalley"
Stuart is quick to point out that he is not a trained therapist. However, he does his misguided best to help his on-air guests to work out what he wrongly perceives to be their problems.
His guests are very often celebrities, however Smalley is seemingly oblivious to his guests' fame as he never uses their full names so as to "protect (their) anonymity."
Smalley often projects his own problems onto others; thus he will attempt to solve an issue that is not really there. For example, in what many believe may have been the most amusing Smalley skit, he tried to help Michael Jordan resolve nonexistent doubts about his basketball-playing ability. While Jordan admitted it is natural to feel apprehension before games, he did not feel so scared he wanted to "lie in bed and eat Fig Newtons". In the end he almost always ends up breaking down and putting himself down, and the guest usually ends up comforting him instead.
In a couple of the later sketches the idea was reversed, where the guest appeared to be on top of the world and self-assured, but Stuart would unknowingly make a comment that would shatter the guest's aura of invincibility, such as Stuart innocently asking Charles Barkley that he must be glad at winning so many world championships. At the time of the episode's airing, the Phoenix Suns had recently failed to win the 1993 NBA Finals, which suddenly causes Barkley to break down in tears and admit he feels he is a big failure in life, to which Stuart is the one to comfort and reassure him.
