Dr. Oz's second week at the podium sank the venerated game show to 4.9 million viewers.
When Ken Jennings took over from the late Alex Trebek in January. he kept the ratings at a steady 6 million. But when Jennings left, Katie Couric came in and numbers started to dip. Courics run caused some damage, but Dr. Oz who the fans petitioned against has left the show in a precarious situation. In between there was show EP Mike Richards.
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is on now, and we wont know whats happened with him until next week. But the PR machine issued an interview with Richards yesterday loading praise on Rodgers. Thats a sign they know things arent going well. The interview read like an act of desperation.
There are still weeks and weeks to come of guest hosts starting next week with Anderson Cooper, then Bill Whitaker of 60 Minutes. actress Mayim Bialik, and Savannah Guthrie, followed by Dr. Sanjay Gupta. Theres no plan for Levar Burton, who has a big fan following. It looks like Jeopardy! will wait till Labor Day to announce some new permanent host ... if they can wait that long.

I was fine with everyone else.

(106,333 posts)I didn't watch his week, but I can not imagine wanting to.
He's a snake-oil seller and any veneer of respectability should not launch him into other celebrity jobs, IMO.

(34,368 posts)there is something about his looks that reminds me of Trump. I can't put my finger on it but he looks a lot like Trump to me, even though at first glance I don't see it. Creepy as Trump.

(1,234 posts)Not liking all these guest hosts. Liked Ken and Mike and Love Aaron Rodgers. Would love to see Larry Wilcox host it but they really need to find someone

(8,513 posts)Also Bill Whitaker.
The only one I haven't liked is Dr. Oz. Rewording that, the only one I've HATED is Dr. Oz.

(10,599 posts)I wonder if it's because of the color of his skin.
I don't see a single African American on that list.
Just a hypothetical observation.

(34,195 posts)He said taking the six would dramatically improve your health.
Being in my 70's and with a lot of health issues, I thought I'd check it out.
I researched each vitamin on a number of websites and they all said each vitamin was useless and had no merit.
