Mediaite

The Philadelphia-based CNN weekend host and talk show host said he recently bumped into Mehmet Oz, who is running for the U.S. Senate for Pennsylvania, at a Christmas party. On his SiriusXM radio show, according to Mediaite, Smerconish said: "I don’t think he had any idea who I was...I said to him, ‘I’d really like to get you on my program, and I will treat you with dignity and respect.'” The CNN host said Oz quickly declined. “He proceeds to say to me, ‘I can’t possible do that because it would upset everybody at Fox. And I’ll come on your show after the primary.'" said Smerconish.
