Dr. Mehmet Oz’s Senate campaign shocked the “The Dr. Oz Show” staffers, according to Page Six. “It was abrupt. No one had a clue. There was supposed to be another season,” one source told the outlet. The move reportedly left many staffers struggling with depression as they scrambled to land new jobs. To make matters worse, they were allegedly left with “No health benefits after working for America’s doctor for 13 years,” and a source claimed there were no severance packages provided at all. Loyal staffers “stayed with him for a long time and now everyone is f**ked,” the source explained.
Oz rather abruptly shifted focus on social media, as he ended his show and turned his attention to politics. On December 29, 2021, he shared a segment from “The Dr. Oz Show” on Instagram. His next post, on January 17 with essentially no transition, was hype for “The Good Dish,” which starred his daughter, Daphne Oz, and took over his time slot. Some staffers moved from “The Dr. Oz Show” to “The Good Dish,” and many producers reportedly “worked overtime, killing themselves” to get it up and running.
Unfortunately, those staffers were dealt another blow when Daphne’s show was canceled less than two months after its debut, per Deadline. A representative for the physician and political candidate did not provide Page Six with a response to the staffer claims. A source close to him, however, insisted the allegations were “completely dishonest.”
