The Good Dish news comes less than a month after Dr. Oz announced that he will be running for senate. The 61-year-old TV personality made the announcement in an op-ed titled, "Why I'm Running to be a Senator From Pennsylvania," published by the Washington Examiner.

"We have not managed our crises as effectively as past generations. During the pandemic, I learned that when you mix politics and medicine, you get politics instead of solutions. That’s why I am running for the U.S. Senate: to help fix the problems and to help us heal," he wrote in part.  

The Dr. Oz Show premiered in 2009. During its run, the talk show has won 10 Daytime Emmys.
