The only future in TV I can see Dr. Oz working in is some kind of talk show like what Justice Pirro is doing. I can't see how any of the mainstream networks would let him start another show, especially since his ex-friends like Oprah want nothing to do with him. And if he does, more likely than not it will go down the same path as that legal analysis show that Justice Pirro tried doing that was quickly forgotten.

Why did he ever leave the show to run really . Like what benefits did he have of doing so especially given how the individual senator now days doesn’t even have much influence.

The same as Herschel Walker: Attention and a platform for grandstanding.

I mean it makes sense for Walker though given it’s been decades since he was particularly in the national spotlight but Oz already was in it and his show got pretty good ratings too . Like being a senator actually would result in less attention probably not more .

My guess is with Oz it was ego thinking he was capable enough to succeed in politics too

I posed that question throughout his Senate campaign. And it's why I personally think he is the true biggest loser of this election cycle. He gave up a lucrative, even if controversial, daytime television show for nothing essentially. And his reputation is now even worse because of it.

I get the feeling that he'll run again for another office if he doesn't go back to TV

Where would he even run? NJ is a very machine-oriented state and the party bosses there probably wouldn't be very open to the idea of his candidacy.

Republicans must have convinced him that the Senate seat was not competitive and that he'd be certain to win.

What most people have mused in here is correct- what was Oz thinking? To give up a lavish lifestyle with an easy TV show gig with millions and still a pretty good reputation? Why was he willing to throw it all down the drain for this? At this point you just have to assume that he's just super power hungry, and he seems like the worst caricature of it. Because there's literally no other reason someone would throw it all away for a senate seat like he did.

I think he’s just so out of touch that he didn’t expect to get the reception he did.

Oh definitely. I think that also played a role as well. I think he thought he was more well-liked and that the TV/celebrity fame would carry him more than he did. He's clearly very narcissistic, just like Trump

To add to this, it is absolutely hilarious that Republicans went out of their way to court Dr. Mehmet Oz into running for a competitive Senate seat. They deserved to lose.

Lol, do you know whom supported OZ over McCormick in the R promaries it were females whom voted for the weaker candidates, that's whom monkeyed with the primaries not men

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaa? Network TV isn't falling over themselves to give shows to doctors who mock people for having had a stroke?

If that was the case, in order to convince him they probably pointed him in the direction of the Atlas forum for all of 2021 where almost everyone here was saying that he was a near lock to win the seat. I remember someone here taking umbrage at my prediction that Fetterman would do better with white working class voters than Biden had due to his own background and appearance in conjunction with Oz's perceived elitism and weirdness. Turns out, that's pretty much what happened.

That's really his only opening. But even then, would Fox News really want to waste airtime on a show devoted to his specialty of quack medicine? They wouldn't object to it for that reason, don't get me wrong, but they're better served filling that time with direct political fear-mongering instead, as is the norm.

It's not likely due to fact he ran on Trump brand and Oprah and Barbara Walters run the View and Dr Phil OWN and Dr Oz and any associates with Trump is deemed as insurrection, he won't be on, because Trump is under criminal and civil probes

We all know Trump wants to be exonerated by himself as Prez or DeSantis that's gonna play into 24 in blue states that's why DeSantis is gonna lose

Whoopi Goldberg is still on the View for 10 yrs because Walters like her due to she reminds her of Oprah Winfrey
