Last month, Dr. Oz announced that he was running for US Senate, and today Sony Pictures Television announced that his show will be ending on January 14th. This news was not unexpected because there are laws preventing candidates from hosting TV shows and not giving equal time to the other candidates.
Even though he will not be doing the show, another Oz will be filling in for him starting on the 17th. His daughter Daphne will be co-hosting the cooking show The Good Dish with Top Chef judge Gail Simmons and Next Food Star winner Jamika Pessoa.
“Audiences have been loving what Daphne, Gail, and Jamika have been serving up during their weekly segments on The Dr. Oz Show for years. We have long believed The Good Dish would make an excellent stand-alone series and are delighted to be able to deliver this fresh take on the cooking genre to our station partners and their viewers across the country,” Zack Hernandez, the VP and General Sales Manager of Sony Pictures Television, said to the news outlet.
When it comes to Dr. Oz, I say good riddance. While some of his information was good, he also reportedly spread misinformation about medicine and medical treatments. He also was OK with sending kids back to school during a pandemic because he said it would only kill 2-3% of them in an interview.
