The series is hosted by Dr. Oz and debuted on September 14, 2009. The Dr. Oz Show has received nine Daytime Emmy Awards during its run, five for Outstanding Informative Talk Show and four for Outstanding Informative Talk Show Host, as well as criticism for some of its subject matter.[3]

In April 2018, The Dr. Oz Show was renewed for seasons 11 and 12, through 2020–21 season.[4][5] In September 2020, The Dr. Oz Show was renewed for seasons 13 and 14, through 2022–23 season.[6]

Oz declared his candidacy on November 30, 2021 for the Republican primary for the U.S. Senate seat in Pennsylvania, thus forcing television stations in Pennsylvania and surrounding states and markets as far west as Cleveland, Ohio, to drop the show from their schedule as part of the equal-time rule.[7][8] The show's website was also relocated as Oz personally owns the doctoroz.com domain, which was repurposed for his campaign website.

On December 13, SPT confirmed that The Dr. Oz Show would end its run on Friday, January 14, 2022, and would be replaced the following Monday by The Good Dish, a food-themed talk show based on Oz's cooking segments. The new show will be hosted by his daughter Daphne Oz, as well as Gail Simmons and Jamika Pessoa.[9]

History

In 2009, Winfrey offered to produce a syndicated series featuring Mehmet Oz through her company, Harpo Productions.[10] The Dr. Oz Show debuted September 14, 2009. It received Daytime Emmy nominations for Outstanding Talk Show Informative and Outstanding Talk Show Informative Host in 2010, winning the latter.[11]

For the first four seasons, shows were recorded in Studio 6A at NBC Studios in New York,[12] but vacated Rockefeller Center after NBC reclaimed the space for its Late Night franchise.[13] Beginning with season five, The Dr. Oz Show was recorded in the ABC Television Center East on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.[14] The show now uses Studio 42 at the CBS Broadcast Center.[15]

In April 2018, Sony Pictures Television renewed The Dr. Oz Show for seasons 11 and 12, taking it through 2020–21.[4]

In March 2020, in-studio production was shut down after a staffer experienced "subtle" symptoms and tested positive for COVID-19. Episodes began filming at Oz's home afterward. The show announced that it would return to studio tapings for its season premiere on September 14, 2020 with limited crew members and without a live audience.[16]

In September 2020, The Dr. Oz Show was renewed for seasons 13 and 14, through 2022–23.[6]

Reception
Further information: Medical claims on The Dr. Oz Show

According to The New Yorker, the series is "among the most highly rated daily television programs" in the United States.[10] It consistently scores ratings with daytime television's primary demographic of women from ages 25–54.[4] During the 2016 season, The Dr. Oz Show averaged a 1.4 Nielsen household rating in live-plus-same day numbers.[17] It had a 1.2 Nielsen household rating in 2017 and a 1.1 rating during the 2018 season.[4]

Over the course of its run, The Dr. Oz Show and other similar medical talk shows have been criticized for featuring subject matter that is not supported by published studies. The British Medical Journal found that more than half of the recommendations on these shows contradicted medical research.[18] Producers for the show have stated that the series gives viewers "the most information and the greatest number of tools they can use to make their own choices."[10]
