Dr Oz Background

The Dr. Oz Show is an hour-long syndicated health-oriented talk show, hosted by Dr. Mehmet Oz, who rose to popularity through guest appearances on The Oprah Winfrey Show. Dr. Oz is not only a practicing cardiothoracic surgeon, but also a professor at Columbia University.

The Dr. Oz Show begins with Oz appearing from behind the audience, and shaking audience members’ hands as he walks down the steps leading to the stage. After an introductory statement, he zips through numerous segments, some of which are re-done due to mistakes (most often not because of him).

The re-shoots make up half the time of the taping session. In each instance, the audience must clap, laugh and show excitement as if for the first time. Some recurring segments are “The Total 10 Rapid Weight-Loss Plan” and “Oz Nation."

Tapings include guest interviews – including that of celebrities, and some portions of a single segment might be pre-recorded. Physical demonstrations and activities also occur in a segment or two. Comedian Richie Byrne makes the audience laugh in between segments.

There might be a couple instances of awkward silence as the sets change for various segments. Unlike other tapings, Dr. Oz hardly interacts with the audience. In fact, he is in constant discussion with a producer or two in between segments. During tapings where an “assistant” is needed, Dr. Oz hand-picks someone from the audience. This is the only form of spontaneity on the show, as everything else is contrived.

The show is the second spin-off hosted by a regular guest of The Oprah Winfrey Show, with Dr. Phil being the first.

During the first four seasons, tapings were held in Studio 6A at NBC Studios. When NBC reclaimed the studio for its Late Night franchise, the show moved to ABC Television Center East in the Upper West Side of Manhattan.

On the show, Dr. Oz discusses alternative health practices, women’s health, medical revelations, and everything health-related in between. Researchers, medical producers and physicians make up the full-time in-house medical unit of the show.

This unit works with Dr. Oz daily, in development and production of the segments that comprise the show. All the products that appear on the show are also approved by this team.

After some products were found to use his name as an endorsement on websites, Dr. Oz began “Oz Watch” to identify the misleading information and stop them before the general public can begin using said products.

Controversial Claims

The show can be quite controversial, as Dr. Oz tends to push more alternative health methods rather than traditional medicine. In fact, he has received great criticism for this from health experts in various places. With a study backing them, members of the medical community claim that 54% of Dr. Oz’s health recommendations are baseless, with too much reliance on dietary suggestions.

The same study further criticized Oz for rarely addressing conflicts of interest on the show, and urged viewers to be skeptical of any claims made on the show. Oz even drew criticism from the FDA, after telling viewers than an independent toxicology lab found levels of arsenic in apple juice – without differentiating between harmful and harmless arsenic.

In the New York area Dr. Oz airs at 2:00 PM on Fox5 and 1:00 AM on Channel My9.
