'Jeopardy' viewers outraged by Dr. Oz's guest-hosting gig, call for boycott
Fox News
“Jeopardy!” viewers are calling for a boycott of the show for the two-week stretch in which Dr. Mehmet Oz will be acting as guest host.
Oz, who is the host of "The Dr. Oz Show" and is an attending physician at NY Presbyterian-Columbia Medical Center, has faced controversy in the past for allegedly dispensing questionable medical advice. As a result, many viewers were upset to see him take up hosting duties on the popular trivia show. In an open letter published to Medium following the announcement, a group of former "Jeopardy!" winners and contestants urged the show to rethink its decision to have Oz host. When he began his two-week run anyway on Monday, many viewers took to Twitter to voice their outrage, prompting the hashtag "#BoycottJeopardy" to begin trending Monday.More Related News
