Oprah News: Dr. Oz, 30 Rock
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Daytime, Prime Time, Talk Shows, NBC, Syndication, Oprah Winfrey Show, Gossip, News,
Being one of Oprah‘s friends definitely has its benefits.
Since the talk show queen was instrumental in getting both Dr. Phil and Rachael Ray their own shows, you knew it was just a matter of time before she moved on to her next pet project. This time, she’ll be responsible for making us sick of Dr. Mehmet Oz.
Up until now, I’ve really liked the doctor. The 47-year-old frequent contributor is very much like that McGraw guy; he tells it like it is. And guests aren’t afraid to ask him their most embarrassing questions because he’s pleasantly non-judgmental. (Remember when he hosted that males-only show solo?) But as likable as the medical expert is, could we tolerate seeing him on a regular basis?
Word has it the latest talk show competitor will hit the airwaves come Fall 2009. Start prepping your medical questions now.

Daytime TV Hosts Forging Past Picket Lines
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Daytime, Talk Shows, Syndication, Oprah Winfrey Show, Gossip, News,
The writers’ strike is still raging on, but several notable daytime TV hosts don’t seem to care. At least, they are walking through the picket lines to continue with their work. The writers’ guild has publicly rebuked Ellen DeGeneres for these actions, though she is not the only host to walk past the strikers. Oprah Winfrey and Rachael Ray are also keeping their shows going, so The Ellen DeGeneres Show still has some ratings competition.
Ellen has canceled some New York shows, but her studio in LA remains open. DeGeneres says she’s remaining open to support her staff, as a mind-boggling 135 individuals depend upon her show’s production to keep their own paychecks coming. Her actions, however, and the actions of other daytime hosts, are not endearing to striking writers.
