Dr. Oz Embarrassment: Daphne's Show 'The Good Dish' Canceled Because of This Reason
Dr. Oz is facing some serious embarrassment at the moment.
"The Good Dish," a cooking show hosted by his daughter Daphne Oz, has been canceled and will not be renewed for a second season.
However, the show, which was launched in January and features the 36-year-old chef and television personality, is not receiving the ratings it anticipated, and, more importantly, does not feature enough A-list celebrities.
In an interview with The Sun, a source said that the show struggled to schedule any "excellent" guests, and that the show's numbers were doomed from the start.
The insider went on to say that it's possible that they're not getting any notable guests because her father, Dr. Mehmet Oz, is currently running for politics.
According to the source, "A lot of celebs don't want to be associated with Daphne or her father."
According to the source, things might have been different if Dr. Oz had run as a Democrat instead of a Republican. "Hollywood would have been lining up to be on her show."
When Dr. Oz debuted his show, Oprah Winfrey was the first guest on the show, which was hosted by the famous doctor. Andy Cohen, on the other hand, was the most noteworthy celebrity guest at Daphne's party.
Other guests on the lackluster guest list included Foodgod, Kim Kardashian's best friend, and singer Maris Osmond, amongst others.
According to a source close to the situation, "The Good Dish" was destined to fail from the beginning.
In accordance with the insider, the show is still expected to end its current season in its entirety.
Dr. Oz Controversies
Over the course of his career, Dr. Oz has become entangled in a number of controversies, particularly since announcing his ambition to run for office.
However, one of the worst complaints he received came from members of the medical profession, who said that he had used his platform to propagate false information about the COVID-19 outbreak.
One of the medical specialists who questioned the malaria drug hydroxychloroquine, which had been touted by former President Donald Trump as a therapy for COVID-19 despite a lack of evidence to support its efficacy, was the former "Jeopardy!" guest host.
He even toned down his support, noting that people should wait for more information to come out of trials before making a decision.
His comments on reopening schools in 2020 were met with outrage on social media, with others alleging that he had misspoken. He then apologized, claiming that he had misspoken and that he had misspoken.
