Oz, a cardiothoracic surgeon, acknowledged that his language about green coffee and other supplements has been "flowery" and promised to publish a list of specific products he thinks can help America shed pounds and get healthy - beyond eating less and moving more.

Oz appeared before the Senate's consumer protection panel and was scolded by Chairman Claire McCaskill for claims he made about weight-loss aids on his TV show, "The Dr. Mehmet Oz on Tuesday offered to help "drain the swamp" of unscrupulous marketers using his name to peddle so-called miracle pills and cure-alls to millions of Americans desperate to lose weight. Oz strongly promoted the use of the antimalaria drug hydroxychloroquine as a cure for COVID and was harshly criticized for stating last year on Fox News that reopening schools might be worth the increased number of deaths it could cause he eventually apologized for the latter.WASHINGTON (AP) - Under pressure from Congress, celebrity Dr. He has frequently been accused by other medical experts of promoting false or at least faulty medical claims, otherwise known as “pseudoscience.” He has also faced criticism for promoting alternative medicine like homeopathy.ĭuring the pandemic, Dr. Oz, who got his own show after regular appearances on Oprah Winfrey’s daytime show in the ’00s, has been no stranger to controversy during the run of his show. (Both served as governor of California and Reagan went one step further, serving two terms in the White House.) Schwarzenegger would return to the screen after his term ended, which included taking over for Trump on “The Apprentice.” Other Hollywood actors such as Reagan and Schwarzenegger were not acting while they launched their political careers. NBC severed the relationship with Trump due to his many disparaging statements about Mexican immigrants made during the announcement of his candidacy.
Though NBC later fired him from the show (the network also cut ties with Trump’s Miss USA pageant), it was not explicitly due to him running for president. Donald Trump was still the host of NBC’s “The Apprentice” in 2015 when he first announced his presidential candidacy.
Oz would not be the first TV host to run for public office while he was still on TV. “In the past, when Arnold Schwarzenegger was running for governor of California, his old movies were taken off TV stations in the state (same with Ronald Reagan when he was running for office). Fred Grandy was a Congressman from Iowa who previously was on the ‘Love Boat’ TV show – reruns of that show did not run in his district when he was running for reelection.” “When an on-air personality runs for political office, it can trigger equal time even if the program he or she appears on has nothing to do with political issues,” David Oxenford, a Washington, D.C.-based lawyer who specializes in broadcast and digital media law, told TheWrap. ( Four candidates - John Kasich, Mike Huckabee, Jim Gilmore and Lindsey Graham - wound up doing so.) When Trump hosted “Saturday Night Live” during his candidacy in the fall of 2015, NBC was forced to give equal time in key primary states to any of his GOP competitors who requested it. These rules stipulate that when any political candidate is given time on over-the-air broadcast stations, his or her political opponents can request that same amount of time (and usually in the same timeslot).Įssentially, that would mean Oz’s Senate competitors would be allowed to request the same amount of time on those stations. Oz is running his campaign, those and other Pennsylvania stations that air his show would likely be subject to the FCC’s Equal Time rule.
Oz” mostly airs on Fox affiliated stations, including in Pennsylvania’s two most populous cities, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. Reps for Oz and his production company did not respond for comment, while Sony Pictures Television, which distributes the show, declined to comment.
