US Senate candidate Mehmet Oz‘s talk show will end next month and will be replaced with a cooking show featuring his daughter. ‘The Dr. Oz Show,’ which is in its 13th season currently, will air its last episode on January 14, Sony Pictures Television said on Monday.

Earlier this month, Dr Mehmet Oz, who is a celebrity heart surgeon, announced that he will be running for the United States Senate as a Republican in Pennsylvania.

In his announcement post, Dr Oz wrote, “I’m running for US Senate in Pennsylvania because America needs a Conservative Republican to cure what’s wrong with Washington. I’m a world-class surgeon, fighter, and health care advocate stepping forward to cure our country’s ills.”

“As a heart surgeon, I know how precious life is. Pennsylvania needs a conservative who will put America first, one who can reignite our divine spark, bravely fight for freedom and tell it like it is,” he said in the video message.

Television stations in Philadelphia, New York City and Cleveland that are seen in Pennsylvania had already taken “Dr. Oz” off the air, for fear that the Federal Communications Commission’s “equal time” rules would allow rival candidates to seek similar air time.

In many parts of the US, the show will be replaced by “The Good Dish,” a combination talk-cooking show where hosts Daphne Oz, Gail Simmons and Jamika Pessoa will serve up a dish of the day.

Producers boasted it would be “the most fun you can have in the kitchen without having to do the dishes.”

Sony said it has commitments to air “The Good Dish” in stations representing 90% of the nation’s population. The show begins on January 17.
