BRIEF: Steve Harvey faces off against Dr. Phil in 'clash of the talk show titans'

May 14--It will be mustache vs. mustache. Chicago talk show host Steve Harvey is facing off against Dr. Phil McGraw in a so-called "clash of the talk show titans."

Harvey and McGraw competed in a series of challenges -- from racing golf carts to firing squirt guns to hosting an advice booth for viewers to ask questions -- to determine the king of daytime TV. The results of the competition will be revealed Thursday on both Harvey and McGraw's shows, which air at 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. in Chicago, respectively.

In a preview clip that aired on "Entertainment Tonight," a woman asks the talk show hosts at the advice booth, "Why do men flirt with the b--- girls and want them and not the nice girls?"

"The guys that get in line for the town punch, you don't want that," McGraw said. "You want the guy that sees through it, stands back and looks for quality."

No word if the loser will have to shave his mustache.
