Dr. Mehmet Oz left his syndicated TV show to pursue a deeply embarrassing run for Senate in Pennsylvaniawhere he does not liveand spent nearly $27 million of his own money, before losing the state by a bigger margin than Donald Trump did in 2020. The whole thing was a spectacular self-own. Now this man is reportedly desperate to get back on TV, and the industry is not particularly interested in his comeback.
No one in the mainstream will touch him, a source told RadarOnline. You cant alienate half of your audience with a political stance and expect to bring in an audience on your return to television.
The Dr. Oz Show got canceled last year shortly after he announced his campaign. RadarOnline reports that Oz is groveling to everyone he knows in order to revive his daytime talk show about health, but the effort has been dead on arrival, much like his political career. His former producers reportedly wont talk to him, and Radar characterized him as too toxic for TV.
Another source told the outlet: He cant even get a word with his former producers. Dr. Oz is a social creature who likes to hear himself talk, and its beginning to dawn on him that hes just [not] wanted in Hollywood circles anymore. Oprah Winfreys Harpo Productions produced his show for all 13 seasons, and Oprah endorsed Ozs opponent, Lt. Gov. John Fetterman (D), in the final days of the race.

(7,868 posts)...and few Republicans will support his show because he's been branded (and proven to be) a loser from their king.
Not much upside in potential viewers there.
Maybe some relatively new (as a brand) network like NewsNation will take him on as a reclamation project like they have other formerly famous celebrity show hosts...

(13,523 posts)think any network would show it. Guess Winfrey is done with him. His daughter had a food show after his show got canceled, but it didnt last long, I believe because he became the republican nominee. I never watched her show. Dont know if it was any good.
