A bird in the hand is better than two in the bush.
A hard lesson for Dr Oz after he lost his Senate bid and
now he's desperately seeking to get back on television.
He wants his TV show back and everyone is telling him no,
we're not interested, bey bey as Trump once said.
Now, RadarOnline reports that Oz is groveling to everyone he
knows in order to revive his daytime talk show where he sells snake oil to people.
I added that part in order to revive his daytime talk show about health, but
the effort has been dead on arrival.
Much like his career, his former producers reportedly won't talk to him and
Radar characterized him as too toxic for TV.
Now look, if he wanted his show back and the producers and the showrunner,
all those people were like, no, because you're Republican and
we just don't like republicans, I would disagree with this.
I don't think that's okay, but what came out about Dr.
Oz during his campaigning, I think made all the difference in the world.
Making fun of someone who was recovering from a stroke, John Fetterman.
The news story about the murder of 300 dogs that his company carried out,
I mean, it was just one thing after another.
So let me give you the details.
One anonymous source told Jezebel or told RadarOnline and Jezebel reported on it.
No one in the mainstream will touch him,
you can't alienate half of your audience with a political stance and
expect to bring in an audience on your return to television.
Another source said, he can't even get a word with his former producers.
Dr Oz is a social creature who likes to hear himself talk, and it's beginning to
dawn on him that he's just not wanted in Hollywood circles anymore.
By the way, Jake, and I once had a conversation with him, I think it was when
we were at a conference or something in Portugal, right?
>> Yep, that's right.
>> And yeah, he definitely loves to hear himself talk, that's 100% true.
>> Yeah, Some people when they sit down, they're not listening to you at all,
they just want to pontificate, right?
So he's like, okay, let me tell you what's wrong, and
then you tell me how you can help, and I'm like, I don't remember agreeing to that.
[LAUGH] Okay, so anyways, look the most delicious part of the story is not even
the fact that he can't get his career back is that, he loves that Hollywood stuff.
He loves being like going in those cocktail parties etc, and now that he's
persona non grata, and he can't get the credit that he used to get those parties.
>> Yeah.
>> That's gotta sting.
So look guys, think about it makes tons a ton of sense, right?
So one of his most controversial things was the crazy
answer he gave about abortion during the run and
most of the daytime audience is female and pro choice.
So now you're gonna send this guy who said, Boris, I'm gonna judge you, okay?
And what we shouldn't have that right, the government should have the right to
control your body's, hey, I'm back every women.
Okay, and would you like to see me do a show?
And the answer seems to be resounding, no, we would not like to see that.
By the way, here's the fact that people don't often talk about in this
article didn't.
But a lot of television audiences also African American,
much more heavily African American than the general population.
And African Americans didn't like what Dr Oz had to say in that race either.
So, my God, I mean,
you can't have damaged your demographic more than he did with this run.
To me there's another interesting part of this story which is that basically Trump
and Oz have been testing that old adage.
There is no such thing as bad publicity, right?
Apparently there is.
>> Yeah, can I give you example, specific examples with Dr Oz?
Cuz I wanna make sure I mentioned the thing with the dogs, but there's more so
it was also the damaging reporting that his medical research killed more than
300 dogs.
Him speaking, I didn't even know about this.
Him speaking at a high dollar fundraiser in front of
Hitler's car and his stupid comments about abortion.
Why would you do a fundraising event where you do a speech in front of Hitler's car?
>> So, to be fair to Dr Oz, we got no love for
Dr Oz as you could tell him this story and 1000 other stories.
He's not a Kanye, right?
He was doing an event and I think it was like a museum or something like that.
And so it wasn't like Kanye, at the same time when there's a camera and
you're doing a speech in front of Hitler's car.
Move, move, you can't do that.
That's so dumb, right?
So, okay, and none of that plays well.
Okay [LAUGH] so look, the thing about folks who are this wealthy and
this famous for these this many years- >> They don't know when to stop and
just go away and enjoy their wealth and never like be in public again.
>> First of all, that's true, but also they get high on their own supply.
And so, they become convinced that they're invincible.
And so, I'm guarantee you that he is actually
genuinely shocked that he can't get his show back.
He probably thought, what I got publicity, my job is publicity.
I get publicity, no matter what, I get sell garbage medicine, that doesn't work,
I get more publicity.
Hey, I got bigger TV contracts after I sold that crap, right?
I got dragged in front of Congress and I got humiliated.
I got even bigger ratings and I got even bigger contracts, right?
And so, he's probably like, what?
I can't say terrible things about everybody forever and
that has a consequence.
I bet you he's shell shocked by it.
>> But you know, Dr Oz is different from all of the other right wing
grifters in America in that he does have a skill and his skill prior
to the television career and the political run and everything was a surgeon.
So he could go back to having a real job.
>> Yeah.
>> He could open up a private practice, but
that would require actually working and working hard, right?
>> Yeah, but again, we're the fairest show in America.
Dr Oz was a great heart surgeon, not like the clowns on the right wing that pretend
to be good at things that aren't, you could go back and do good in the world.
You can go back to being a heart surgeon to save people's lives,
that's a noble profession.
And by the way, also pays a ton of money, right?
And so, but I would be surprised if he did that.
And if he does, I'd be surprised if it wasn't a publicity stunt.
But hey, whatever, I'll take it, right,
go back to doing something decent in your life when you were a good person.
And yes, that actually did exist back in the day.
And yes, I'm biased cuz he actually did heart surgery on my uncle.
Okay, and- >> Fairest man in America, right?
I mean, that would like bias people so significantly that they'd feel
uncomfortable criticizing the surgeon who saved their uncle, right?
Yeah, he was terrific in saving my uncle but that doesn't give him the right to be
a prick to everyone else, so well, and our job is to be honest with you here.
And so, the last part of that is I'll admit also honestly anna that there were
parts of this story that I didn't know.
So, I didn't know he was still on the air until he started to run.
He was still doing his TV show,
he was in his 13th season still selling that garbage.
>> Daytime television is not for people like us,
when would we watch daytime television?
We don't have time know, but I know I'm just surprised that he kept going which
goes to show you that quackery does work, right?
Because look when I started turning on Dr Oz is when he started selling fake
medicine, that could really hurt people.
>> Turmeric turmeric,
I remember visiting my parents and being gifted the biggest jar of
turmeric you could ever imagine because it was going to solve all my ailments.
Of course- >> Of course my dad too and
it was on fire in the Turkish community turmeric.
>> Yeah, all turmeric does is stain things, okay?
That's it, that's all it does or I know it's also used in food obviously, but
like be careful with that turmeric.
Yeah, and be careful with TV doctors and
apparently he spent $27 million of his own money and
then a republican seat than even more than Trump lost Pennsylvania.
Ouch, you're gonna need a doctor for that.
