Well, it seems the Loser of Oz (and Pennsylvania, thankfully) is desperate to get his old TV show back … or ANY TV gig for that matter... but no one will have him.
Oh the schadenfreude of it all! It’s almost too much for me to take (I said almost).
According to Jezebel, Yahoo and several other news outlets and sources:
Dr. Mehmet Oz left his syndicated TV show to pursue a deeply embarrassing run for Senate in Pennsylvania—where he does not live—and 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 can’t 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 was cancelled when he announced his campaign for the PA Senate seat. And now Oz is reportedly groveling to everyone he knows in hopes of reviving his daytime show (or anything else to get himself back on TV) but no one, including his former producers will even TALK to him!
Apparently, he is too toxic for TV, especially his old show where the TV viewers are mostly women.
Also:
The campaign badly damaged Oz’s reputation, as media outlets reported on his questionable medical advice and naked opportunism. But it’s not just his history as an insanely rich quack that compromised him—it was also the damaging reporting that his medical research killed more than 300 dogs, him speaking at a high-dollar fundraiser in front of Hitler’s car, and his stupid comments about abortion.
But don't worry, Loser, you might be able to get a gig on Faux or Newsmax.
Oh wait….
That may not go over very well since, you know, he lost.
“The last thing that conservatives want to hear right now is Dr. Oz giving political advice,” as Fox News contributor Joe Concha told The Wrap. “I’m not sure a lot of people want to be hearing from Dr. Oz after losing what would have been — if he won that, Republicans could have taken over the Senate.”
