‘Jeopardy! Fans Call For Boycott After Dr. Oz Begins Guest Hosting: It’s ‘A Slap In The Face’
Dr. Mehmet Oz‘s two week stint guest hosting Jeopardy! got off to a rocky start before it even began on Mar. 22. A group of former contestants wrote an open letter to the show’s Executive Producer Mike Richards, declaring, “Dr. Oz stands in opposition to everything that Jeopardy! stands for. Jeopardy! is a show that values facts and knowledge,” and that “Throughout his nearly two decades on television he has used his authority as a doctor to push harmful ideas onto the American public, in stark contrast with his oath to first do no harm.”
